When he called him “Mr. President” in the beginning it hit me: this guy really is you guys’ president, isn’t he? And he has to be afforded the respect of the office as if he was the real deal, doesn’t he? Sorry, I know that intellectually of course but I still haven’t internalised it.
This guy sits at the Resolute Desk. In the Oval Office. In the White House. Where Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt and Obama sat.* For real. And he will forever be in that lineage of people.
*I am aware that the desk is probably younger than Washington but I’m not gonna google it right now, so don’t @ me
