New York Times: “This is the moment Mr. Trump’s supporters have been waiting four long years to see. The ones who converged on the capital this weekend packed bars and got pulled around town in pedicabs blaring Village People. They did night sightseeing in Georgetown, marveling at the size of the federalist estates. They were excited.”
“But there was a curious split-screen playing out all weekend long.”
“On the streets of the nation’s capital, some of the most passionate members of Mr. Trump’s populist base were feeling a bit frustrated about all the canceled plans while tribes of Trump-loving elites partied wildly all around them but just out of reach.”
“Lobbyists and venture capitalists and tech billionaires gave champagne toasts aboard yachts and in downtown steakhouses and Kalorama mansions. It seemed a manifestation of one of the central paradoxes of the political movement Mr. Trump assembled — that the rich-who-are-about-to-get-a-whole-lot-richer can coexist easily with working-class voters who never seem to get invited the party.”
