What’s in a name…
This will be fun…
With the dawn of a new…whatever the hell this is about to be, one of the things in danger (on a very long list of things in danger) are the arts.

Oh, isn’t this fun?! You know, my favorite description of the monster came from Gloria Steinem in an article she wrote shortly after the election.
“He…sports cotton candy hair and suit jackets that fly open to reveal a gelatinous mass.” Gloria Steinem
But my very favorite nicknames to date, my top two, the ones that crack me up are as follows:
- K-Mart Caesar
- Dick Waving Berlusconi Knock Off (Ha Ha!) (Thank you again, Samantha Bee for this one!)
Look this whole list is just the tip of the iceberg. I followed this rabbit hole a bit and found that the Orange Beast doesn’t like the newspapers to print unflattering pictures of himself. (If that’s the case, you gelatinous mass of uncouthness, you might think about hiring yourself a stand in.) So in reply, the amazing people of our country got creative with that topic as well.
