ABOUT the only satisfying sight to emerge from President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday was the picture of progressive independent Senator Bernie Sanders sitting grumpily with his arms folded while others around him stood to cheer.
The image was reminiscent of the Sanders photo that went viral after Joe Biden’s chilly outdoor inauguration in January 2021, when Sanders sat in a similar pose wearing a pair of large, woolly mittens.
Sanders didn’t need the mittens this time because Trump’s inauguration was moved indoors, even though expected temperatures were scarcely lower than those during the inaugurations of John F Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama’s first, all of which took place outside. The decision to go inside rightfully elicited an outpouring of scorn directed toward Trump’s aspirations as a machismo-fuelled strongman.
