Bodling<p>Columnist Robin Givhan painting a word picture of the felon-in-chief's arrival for the State of the Union address:</p><p>"Trump walked in wearing his usual ill-fitting navy suit with a red tie and a large American flag pin affixed to his lapel. He lumbered down the aisle with his shoulders slouched forward and his wheat-colored hair cresting over his brow. He greeted Republicans standing along the aisle who thrust their hands in his direction. But when he glanced to his left, where Democrats mostly sat and were mostly dismissive of him, he thrust his chin forward in a gesture of pique, and his neck spilled in great folds over his collar."</p><p><a href="https://deacon.social/tags/SOTU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SOTU</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/StateOfTheUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StateOfTheUnion</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/03/05/robin-givhan-trump-not-normal-sign/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/nation/2025</span><span class="invisible">/03/05/robin-givhan-trump-not-normal-sign/</span></a></p>
