Send in the clowns.
The Washington Post published an opinion piece defending the good name of clowns everywhere — fervently insisting President Trump doesn’t deserve the harlequin moniker his rivals frequently foist upon him.
“Donald Trump is not a clown. I should know,” reads the headline of the missive penned by Tim Cunningham — a self-described professional clown of 24 years and board president of the not-at-all-terrifying-sounding nonprofit Clowns Without Borders.
The article cites a few examples lefty commentators disparagingly painting Trump or his administration as clowns over the years, including MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell and political strategist James Carville.
But rather than accepting the schoolyard-grade insult at face value, Cunningham takes offense, offering a deep dive into the rich and storied history of clowns and clownery.
“Clown, capital C, is a valuable and varied art form; pantomimes, acrobats, magicians, dancers, stand-up comedians, vaudeville artists and jugglers are all examples of artists who incorporate Clown into their work,” he wrote.
He claims Trump’s brash style renders him unfit to wear the comically oversized pants and suspenders, nor the honking red nose — and certainly unworthy to brandish a squirting seltzer bottle.

Washington Post CEO urges staffers who don’t ‘feel aligned’ with paper’s new direction to leave
Wapo, th3 paper that refused to say anything bad about the man who was inept, unfit to be president, and who ruined this country for 4 years (and his friend for 8 years prior) calling pres Trump, a man dedicated to making the nation great again despite violent criminals trying to prevent him from doing so
Eapo... stuff a sock in it! You are nothing but a worthless biased lapdog of the evil one.
Okay, that was genuinely funny. I actually did chuckle out loud.
Yuppers!
They don’t call him the Sniffer
For nothing!
Washington Post: The official newspaper of Clowns in DC, clowns in the Democrat Party and clowns everywhere. Even the editors are clowns.

I had to double check to make sure this wasn’t the Bee.

Fondly membering campaign ads in 1966 when incumbent California Governor Pat Brown was challenged by (actor) Ronald Reagan. “Pat Brown is not an acting governor.” That didn’t work either. I don’t remember whether it was an ad or just commentary when someone responded, “Why not an actor? We already have a clown for a governor.”
Oh, these were the days when faculty and students were rather evenly divided among Pubbies and Dems and we could actually discuss this rationally in a 9th grade class.
