Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Goose
So maybe this makes some sense. We're the laughing princess, laughing at how Fox News and other conservative entities have attached themselves to Trump are are now stuck to him and trying to let go.
Not to be confused with The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs.
Story (The Brothers Grimm)
...
Simpleton takes The Golden Goose to the inn. Simpleton takes the Golden Goose to market. With the goose under his arm, Simpleton heads for an inn where as soon as his back is turned, the innkeeper's daughter attempts to pluck just one of the feathers of pure gold and is stuck fast. Her sister comes to help her and is stuck fast too. The youngest daughter is determined not to be left out of the riches, grabs the sisters aprons and she ends up stuck to the second. Simpleton makes his way to the castle and each person who attempts to interfere is joined to the unwilling parade ranging from the parson, his sexton, and two laborers.
In the castle lives the King with the Princess who has never smiled. The king offers the hand of the princess to anyone who succeeds in making her laugh. The despondent Princess, sitting by the window and glimpsing the parade staggering after Simpleton and his golden goose, laughs so hard she eventually cries...
