The world (diplomacy and relationships) just underwent a seismic shift… did you feel it?
Watching this, with my wife next to me, 100% validated the bat-shit crazy insanity I've been looking like (to her and to others) since October.
I felt it yesterday afternoon - extreme vertigo like I've not had happen since right after 911.
I 'knew' then, that today would happen. I believed before, but I knew then.
more than a few times between then and now, that I actually agreed with that pov…
I had to pull back several times and question my own sanity.
optics - sign of strength for the home crowd to 'not' sign using Trump's pen.
Also equally possible the desire to keep the 'gift' of a presidential pen pristine - they're extremely valuable historically speaking, and as many likely here know, heirlooms are most valuable 'in-the-box' so to speak.
