Another mystery is being solved by the man who can’t even find the ‘unmute’ button on a Zoom call without three interns and a Secret Service detail. While I’m sitting here, vibrating from my fourth cold brew and trying to figure out why the marketing department decided ‘periwinkle’ is the new ‘lavender,’ our favorite former-and-future-everything has decided to moonlight as a forensic investigator. Because apparently, being the leader of the free world wasn’t enough of a side-hustle. According to The Hollywood Reporter—because where else do you go for hard-hitting criminal justice updates when the world is ending?—Trump has “very strong clues” about the Nancy Guthrie case. Who is Nancy Guthrie? Honestly, I’ve worked three sixty-hour weeks in a row and my brain is mostly oatmeal and 90s alt-rock lyrics at this point, so I’m not even sure she exists in this timeline. But apparently, Don has the answers. And they’re coming “fairly soon.” “Fairly soon.” God, I love that phrase. It’s the ultimate corporate dodge. It’s what I tell my boss when he asks about the Q4 projections I haven’t started. It’s the “I’ll circle back on that” of the political world. It’s the same timeline we were given for the healthcare plan, the infrastructure bill, and my soul returning to my body after a Monday morning “All-Hands” meeting. It’s a temporal void where promises go to die, usually right next to my hopes of retiring before the age of eighty-five. There’s something uniquely Elder Millennial about this specific brand of exhaustion. We grew up watching Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, genuinely believing that if we stayed quiet enough and looked at the evidence, the world would eventually make sense. Now, we’re watching a guy who thinks wind turbines cause “bird graveyards” tell us he’s cracked a cold case from the comfort of a gold-plated golf cart. It’s not even gaslighting anymore; it’s just performance art for people who still have cable subscriptions and an irrational fear of gluten. What are these “clues”? Are they in the room with us right now? Did he find them at the bottom of a Filet-O-Fish box? I’d love to care, truly. I’d love to have the cognitive surplus to dive into the Guthrie rabbit hole. But I have seventeen unread Slacks from a project manager named Brayden who uses too many “rocket ship” emojis, and my lower back is currently screaming in a language only chiropractors and the ghost of a decent pension plan can understand. So, sure. let’s add “Lead Detective” to the resume. Why not? At this point, I’m just waiting for him to claim he’s found the Lindbergh baby in a Mar-a-Lago storage unit next to some boxes of classified documents and a vintage Sharper Image catalog. I’ll be here, staring at the blue light of my monitor until my retinas finally give up, waiting for that “fairly soon” to arrive. Any minute now. Right after I finish this “high-priority” email about the office coffee pod shortage. Synergy, folks. It’s all about the synergy.
