(VIDEO) A Lighthearted Thanksgiving Tradition! Američki Predsjednik Trump i prva dama Melania Trump na ceremoniji pomilovanja purice u Ružičnjaku Bijele kuće

Dok sam gledao američkog predsjednika Donalda Trumpa i Prvu damu Melaniju Trump kako ulaze u Vrt ruža Bijele kuće u utorak, nisam mogao a da se ne nasmiješim izvornosti ovog američkog Dana zahvalnosti – pomilovanja predsjedničke purice. Nešto je neosporno šarmantno u tome vidjeti vrhovnog zapovjednika SAD-a kako se upušta u tako ležernu tradiciju.

Sretne pticama ove godine dobila su imena “Gobble” i “Waddle”, a, kako se i očekivalo, predsjednik Trump im je dao “puno i bezuvjetno pomilovanje.” Uz Melaniju uz sebe, objavu je izvodio u pravom Trumpovom stilu—miješajući humor s formalnošću prilike.

U ovim ceremonijama uvijek postoji zaigrana nota, i ove godine nije bilo iznimke. Predsjednik Trump se našalio da bi purani mogli biti imenovani po demokratskim vođama Chucku Schumeru i Nancy Pelosi — ali brzo je dodao: „Nikada ne bih oprostio tim ljudima.“ Publika se nasmijala, a trenutak je nosio onaj prepoznatljiv spoj šale i političkog zadirkivanja na koji smo navikli.

Dok je pružao ruku da pomazi puranovo perje, Trump je razmišljao: „Tko bi želio naškoditi ovoj prekrasnoj ptici?“ Bio je to zabavan kontrast, isti čovjek koji drži vatrene govore o političkim debatama, odvojio je trenutak da poštedi  purana sa zahvalnice.

Ova ceremonija je bila jedan od Trumpovih posljednjih događaja u Bijeloj kući prije odlaska u Mar-a-Lago za praznike. Nešto je toplo u srcu gledati predsjednika Trumpa kako prihvaća tradiciju koja unosi malo vedrine u naciju.
