The more the president and his White House team are rattled by satire, comedians and cartoons, the more they appear weak and pathetic.
The more Trump and the White House whine about satire, comedians, and cartoons, the more they appear pathetic.
For all of Trump’s efforts to convince the world that he’s some kind of colossus, his whining about comedy makes him look tiny and weak. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

To hear Trump tell it, with all that’s going on in the world, asking about the Epstein scandal was an example of media professionals taking an interest in meaningless trivia. These are serious times, which means serious people should focus on matters of national and global significance.
You know, like “South Park.” Variety reported:
Donald Trump‘s White House has responded to Wednesday night’s explosive ‘South Park’ Season 27 premiere, which portrayed the president begging for sex from Satan and featured a Deepfake-assisted PSA where Trump goes fully nude.
In a written statement, a White House spokesperson said, among other things, tha
t the show’s creators are lacking in “authentic or original content.”
“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” the statement continued, dismissing the program as a
“fourth-rate show.”.....
But just as notable is the degree to which the president and his White House team come across as crybabies and snowflakes every time they invest attention in comedy at odds with their delicate sensibilities.
The more the president and his team are rattled by satire, comedians and cartoons, the more they appear weak and pathetic. For all of Trump’s efforts to convince the world that he’s some kind of strong colossus, his whining about comedy makes him look tiny.
