I grew up down there and I promise you it is cold as shít. Why reporters keep trying to shout dumb questions at him while he's walking to the WH is beyond me. You have a press pool and actual press conferences coming later today.

Trump does not look happy and this looks pretty empty. Cannons are going off, though. He just made Melania talk! He appears to be sliding into rally stump speech. Earlier: He is presently rambling at Andrews Base, like some sort of rally. "It's a rocket ship up!" The COVID numbers will "skyrocket downward!" One final mention of "the China Virus" and saying "we wanna pay great love" to the American people. This crowd really is tiny. "I wish the new administration great success." He's just rambling now. Are they gonna have to play him off? "We will be back in some form." "Have a good life. We will see you soon." And he walks off to, yes, YMCA. Looking miserable.

Now they're literally playing "Don't Stop Believing". Having this son of a bitch slowly descend to a mostly abandoned airfield in a cold solitary morning to the muffled strains of the song from the final scene of The Sopranos is certainly a choice.

There he goes, followed by Jared and Ivanka. Oh God. They're once again playing "Gloria" as Marine One touches down at Andrews. Last heard when it went viral an hour before the Capitol riot! You can't make this up. The crowd is indeed tiny.

The crowd for Trump's exit seems dreadfully small. He had pushed for a big one.

That's being roasted all over Twitter. It'll play even more poorly than them trying to make the tan suit a thing, considering Joe isn't Black.

Erika Alexander has had a real career resurgence in the last decade or so, first in comics then onscreen. I was thrilled to see she's in the ball tonight.

Why is anyone surprised? She's always been like him. I have friends who knew her pre-Donald in New York; they aren't kind.

Go for it, champ.

It's up:

Oh, I remember this. Yeah, I saw that clip way back.

Pass!
