Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat and no fan of Donald Trump, was captured on video in the Oval Office Monday during an event with the president, expressing obvious discomfort as he hammered Joe Biden over his lax immigration policies.

The setting was the announcement that the NFL Draft in 2027 would be held in Washington, D.C. Also present were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other officials.

In an X post featuring the video, country musician John Rich noted, "This is hysterical. Look at the Mayor of DC's body language, she's about to spontaneously combust."

Bowser's participation started positively, as RedState reported.

"We are delighted to be here with the Washington Commanders, the NFL, and the president to talk about this very exciting announcement for Washington, D.C.," she said. "We believe in investing in sports because they have helped us transform neighborhoods."

But once Trump began criticizing his predecessor, the mayor's face betrayed her discomfort.

The mayor's awkward looks follow an Oval Office appearance last month by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in which she held a blue binder in front of her face, apparently embarrassed by her presence in MAGA Central: Donald Trump's Oval Office.
