Trump’s State-of-the-Union Variety Show

Were you not entertained?🥱💤

The longest #SOTU in history is now over. #Trump …said little of substance, but substance wasn’t the point. This year, he intended to put on a show, with an array of guest stars & special appearances. He was happy, because he was playing the roles he clearly loves∶ game-show host, ringmaster, MC, beneficent granter of wishes—&,where Democrats were concerned, a self-righteous inquisitor.

The meme’s brackets & asterisks—never has punctuation been so eloquent—seemed to step in where words failed.

Recent years have been boom times for #language that is inarticulate on purpose. *Vibe* has become a diagnosis; *chaos* has become an all-purpose condition. Dictionaries have highlighted, as their words of the year, *brain rot* & *post-truth* & an emoji caught between laughter & tears. But [gestures around] might be the term of the decade.
