***Opusi***
That’s certainly not the plural of opus. That’s the _resident of the White House.

Surprisingly, the plural of opus is a much more familiar term: opera.
An opus is considered a great work of art (magnum opus is the greatest by a particular artist), so the term “opera” really means a collection of great art.
A farewell message here is considered an ‘opus’ because in the past they were really magnificent! They broke the bonds of snarkiness and bitter recrimination and soared with ethereal wings into the cosmos of rhetorical excess.
They were truly great opera!
