It took the combined sartorial transgressions of 450 party-goers to beat out Kristi Noem and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Attention Whore honors last week. The Met Gala easily topped the voting, with 37.5 percent. Noem, surfing the low-to-the-ground crest of her memoir, polled second (19.8 percent). Elaborately muscled worm host Kennedy was third (18.7 percent).
And Donald Trump? Lagging, for the second consecutive week, his measly 11.1 percent good for only fourth place. Maybe that judicial gag order, even sporadically observed, cramped his style. Or maybe it’s a sign that Trump Fatigue—ours, not the kind that puts him to sleep in court—has now entered the Trump Exhaustion phase, bordering on Trump Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Who wants four years with someone who can enervate us in just four seconds?
