There's a sentence few of us ever thought we'd ever read or write up until recently: Donald Trump is the president of the United States. With that said, imagine what it must be like to walk into the White House for the first time and it's your house. Like, this is where you live and work now! How surreal must that be?! Most of us would probably just walk around the whole place thinking, "I can't believe I live here now." Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin says that the Kennedy family went room to room jumping on the beds on their first night in the White House. Kind of wish there were cameras around tonight when the Trumps walk in to capture everything, reality show style. One things for certain: Trump will not be throwing a rager there tonight, a la Andrew Jackson after his inauguration in 1829. Trump -- a well-known teetotaler -- will probably eat a burger and be in bed by midnight.
