Snowflake alert: Conservatives are raging because a new book, “If You Give a Pig the White House: A Parody,” dares to mock President Trump.
The book, released earlier this week, was written by Faye Kanouse and illustrated by Amy Zhing, and is described as “the adult parody of the beloved children’s cautionary tale, ‘If You Give a Pig a Pancake.’”

And writing on the Barnes and Noble complaint board, one concerned Trump-loving conservative opined:
Why is this book in your store? This is absolutely disgusting, especially since it is targeting the minds of young children. I will never EVER shop your stores again if this book remains in your stores. I imagine if this was a parody on Obama, with is likeness to pig on the front . . . would that be OK for you? The fact that this book is being sold by Barnes and Noble speaks volumes about what you decide to sell . . .

"Why is this book in your store?"
Idunno...maybe because it's a book and we're in business to sell them?
"This is absolutely disgusting..."
Matter of opinion. Thanks for yours, by the way.
"...especially since it is targeting the minds of young children."
...except it's not. What part of “the adult parody of the beloved children’s cautionary tale, ‘If You Give a Pig a Pancake’” did you misunderstand?
"I will never EVER shop your stores again if this book remains in your stores."
Wow.
ONE less Trump-humper trolling the Periodicals section looking at the pictures in "Guns & Ammo" and not buying? How will we EVER cope?
"I imagine if this was a parody on Obama, with is likeness to pig on the front..."
Considering some of the stuff we've actually seen published, did you really think we'd have to imagine?
"...would that be OK for you?"
If we can sell it? Actually, yeah.
"The fact that this book is being sold by Barnes and Noble speaks volumes about what you decide to sell..."
Again...we're a bookstore that sells books. What the hell were we thinking?
