There are plenty of things about Trump that are ripe for mockery. The problem is that so much "comedy" about him is narrowly focused on how self-evidently horrible he is, and it's all done with a wink and a nudge while they ask the underlying question, "Am I right, folks?" I put comedy in quotes because people like John Oliver and Samantha Bee are preaching to the choir first and making actual jokes second (although Bee is at least trying to be funny, instead of peppering her routine with pop culture references like Oliver). If, say, you make him an absurd caricature, or if you play up the dumb, stupid, and outright awful things he says to the point of comedic exaggeration, then that's more effective than trash like "Drumpf" or taking back the term "nasty woman." I thought Zach's article about Trump and prog rock was funny. Also, it may have a kernel of truth in it. After all, Genesis did make this music video back in 1986. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHmH1xQ2Pf4
