Okay, so like last Thursday around 11 PM—I was scrolling on Twitter, half asleep but also kinda wired from that stupid coffee I had at like 9 or something—and I saw Trump posting about heading back to DC, and honestly… I laughed out loud. Not even like a normal laugh, more like the “wait, what?” kind. My brother, Sam, was in the room watching some old YouTube clips of debates, and he just goes, “Dude, you seeing this?” and I’m like, “Yeah, yeah I’m seeing it… but Greenland? Board of Peace?” I mean, what even is that?
Then I jumped on Instagram to check if anyone had memes already—because you know, that’s the real news sometimes—and of course, my friend Lina had already posted a story with like a screenshot of the tweet and three crying-laughing emojis. I couldn’t stop thinking… how does someone make “so many good things are underway” sound both serious and like a dad talking to his kid about chores. And there’s this tiny part of me, I won’t lie, that kinda wanted it to be true, like maybe… maybe something big and actually good is happening, but then I remembered last time he said “big progress” on some country, it was just like… noise.
I closed my eyes for a sec and thought about being back in DC—like the chaos, the protests, the journalists yelling at each other—and I got this weird tight feeling in my chest because it’s… I dunno… exhausting but also kinda thrilling? Sam rolled his eyes and went back to his video and I stared at my phone, reading the same tweet again, thinking about Greenland like it’s some kind of plot in a movie, and then I realized I don’t even know what the Board of Peace actually does, or if it’s even real, and I can’t stop imagining them just sitting around a table eating snacks, making “big decisions” about… stuff.
And then I thought, okay, if he really goes back tomorrow—because he sounded… excited?—does anyone even know what will actually happen, like really, or are we all just stuck in this loop of headlines and late-night scrolling wondering if it’s news or a joke… and what if—
