You very well might have just finished watching President Trump’s speech on border security (in which he did not declare a national emergency, so calm down), but you might have tuned out when Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi came on to give the joint rebuttal on which they insisted.
If you did miss it, most of Twitter seems to agree they looked like the painting, “American Gothic.”
Oh man. Chuck and Nancy already look like a meme.

Chuck and Nancy look like they're selling me a reverse mortgage.

The young, diverse Democratic Party puts up two old white people to counter Trump. Priceless. pic.twitter.com/qwPnQCqDnj

Not sure I'd have picked this American Gothic staging for Chuck and Nancy.

Schumer and Pelosi look like they are introducing the nominees for excellence in the art of sound editing.

Standing next to someone else who is giving prepared remarks into a camera, without looking at the person or reacting, as Chuck Schumer is doing right now, looks difficult.

Is Schumer having a stroke?
Seriously, is he ok?

What is Schumer scowling about?
Is it ok to say this makes Pelosi and Schumer unlikeable or nah?

We’d tell Pelosi to blink if she’s in trouble, but we’re not sure she can blink.
