Trump's Royal Shade

The President just weighed in on the royal mess… and his “sympathy” is giving us major side-eye. On Air Force One, he called Andrew’s arrest “very sad” and “a shame.”

But let’s be real. That’s the diplomatic equivalent of a shrug and a “thoughts and prayers.” The man who lives for public feuds is suddenly the picture of somber restraint? Interesting choice.

He didn’t exactly rush to his pal’s defense, did he? No fiery tweets, no claims of a witch hunt. Just a couple of tepid, carefully chosen words before probably changing the subject to his golf game. This isn’t support. It’s distancing with a faint veneer of politeness.

The question isn’t why he said it… it’s what he’s not saying. The silence from Mar-a-Lago is louder than any statement.
