Well, here we are. Four long, dark years after he was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump has departed Washington, D.C. He left just hours before the inauguration of his successor, Joe Biden, under the pall of a deadly global pandemic and a crumbling economy and to the tune of the Village Peoples 1978 hit Y.M.C.A.
snip
Y.M.C.A. was one of Trumps favorite songs to play on the campaign trail. Its possible the lyrics took on a special meaning for him today, though, as he left behind the smoldering wreckage of his time in office. One can picture the soon-to-be-former president leaning forlornly against a window of Air Force One, the new chapter ahead of him full of uncertainty and possible legal action, and mouthing silently to himself:
Young man, theres no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, cause youre in a new town
Theres no need to be unhappy
And then, after picturing this, one can, for a brief moment, breathe a sigh of relief.
