I don't fault the front page writers for writing about Donald Trump, or at least using him as a jumping off point for their articles. Anyone of those articles is pretty interesting and funny, by itself. SA's front page writers can always find a good angle for at least a few chuckles. And Trump's behavior is so outrageous that he seems to always be good for a laugh or two! The thing is, though, that Trump isn't really that interesting or funny? What more can comedy writers say about him that they didn't say in the summer of 2015? Or for that matter, that hadn't been said by 1989? Even in the 80s, he was a one-note joke about bad taste and ego. The fact that the joke has someone worked its way into the point of destabilizing the world and threatening American democracy doesn't mean there is too much more to say about it Donald Trump is like frosting: its certainly an attention getter, kind of fun for a while, but while a little bit is fun, eating it straight out of the can is monotonous. What can comedy writers do with Trump? What jokes can anyone make that haven't been made before?
