#NewYorkMagazine’s wry 👀:

“… sending #Melaniaalone may have been the least offensive option; #Donald’spresence would have been an even bigger #distraction, and if they #stayedhome they would have been accused of #snubbingtheCarters.

There’s #noclear answer here; it seems we’re going to #debate whether the #Trumps should be #included every time there’s a high-profile #event. Unfortunately, #EmilyPost doesn’t cover what to do when the #formerpresident is a #boorishinsurrectionist.”
