Trumpy the Clown

While the idea of giving grown politicians silly child-like names
seems more appropriate on a playground, a good internet meme
can have an actual impact on public perceptions.

Trumpy fits really well, and it has the potential for traveling
far and wide on the intertubes. I sure hope so.

Personally, I'd prefer OrangeWankMaggot, as seen on a London
protester's sign, but that doesn't roll off the tongue quite so well.

CLOWNS BELONG IN A CIRCUS
NOT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!

someone gave me a button with trump made up like a clown.

The button says, "This is the clown you should fear."

I drag that button out every once in a while and wear it.

She's actually a law school professor now, and clearly "one of us," but she still gets offended if anyone refers to RWers as "the clown car on the right." She thinks that real clowns deserve more respect.
