Clowns should be offended by Trump
Supporters of President Trump seem to be as thin-skinned as “their” president.
In a Friday letter, Freda Courtwright said she was offended by a cartoon depicting Trump as a clown. My feeling is that this was disrespectful to clowns.
Was Courtwright also offended when Trump admitted to sexually assaulting women? Was she offended when he mocked a disabled reporter? Was she offended when he disrespected a Gold Star family whose son was killed fighting for our country? Was she offended when Trump referred to former FBI director James Comey as “a nutjob” to his Russian friends?
Courtwright states, “We the people elected him to the presidency.” Sorry, we the people elected Hillary Clinton. The Electoral College put Trump in the White House.
As president, Trump has been an embarrassment, both at home and in the world at large. Depicting him as a sad little clown seems about right.
