In a bid to rally support for President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence released a video that resembled an infomercial more than a celebratory announcement. The unfortunate twist? Pence forgot to turn off the comments section, leading to a cascade of comedic gold that highlighted America’s reluctance to attend the event.
With over 65 million Americans opting not to vote for Trump, it’s not surprising that the comment section erupted with witty responses. Why hasn’t the Trump team hired a social media consultant yet? If YouTubers can afford a social media team, surely the Trump camp can invest in some damage control!
While Trump prepares to bask in his victory, many Americans have other plans. Some would rather endure the agony of a root canal than attend the inauguration—talk about dedication to avoiding Trump! Others, like a clever commenter named Jessie, quipped that the ACLU has been bracing for the chaos Trump is set to unleash since Election Night.
A chorus of voices chimed in, with some women planning to “wash their hair” that night instead of showing up for Trump’s big event. In fact, the Women’s March is set to draw millions to D.C., far overshadowing any attendance at the inauguration. Michelle even kept it classy, preemptively thanking Trump for his inevitable sexist tweets during the march.
Commenters also took the opportunity to express their disdain for Trump’s campaign and his controversial ties to Russia, proving that the nation hasn’t forgotten the scandals. The new normal? Wake up, check the news for the latest fiasco, and repeat. But fear not, many are gearing up for the inevitable impeachment, with families ready to pack their bags for the occasion.
While some commenters humorously proposed they’d rather polish the shoes of civil rights icons than attend the inauguration, others voiced their frustrations about the state of healthcare and the future implications of Trump’s presidency. The general consensus? No one is interested in celebrating a presidency that many feel has already tarnished the dignity of the Oval Office.
So no, they won’t be attending the inauguration, but they’ll definitely be watching for the impeachment proceedings. After all, at least that promises to be entertaining!
