Oh please let this be true, oh please, oh please.

Judging solely by the pained look on the president's face, it's real. Say this for Melania, she has a much more natural looking fake smile.

NPR: Q&A With The 'Sassy' Teacher Of The Year About That Fan And Going Viral
What was President Trump's reaction to the fan? Did he say anything?

Oh, he loved it! I popped it open when I walked into the office because I'm a very sassy person. And [President] Trump complimented it right away. He said, "I love the fan!" And he told me I had great style. Then, when I was ushered in for my private photo with the president and Melania [Trump] I was told I should put it away. So I just folded it up and held it at my side. But when it came time for the photo, I just asked the president, "Do you mind if I use the fan for the photo?" He said, "Absolutely go for it." So I popped my fan and did my pose.
