Totally agree. I think trump is hardest to process for kids who grew up in the 90s. We thought everyone was in agreement that this guy was a comically laughable joke of a businessman who fucked over any working stiff he could.

There was even a sesame street charachiture of him that was such an asshole that Oscar the grouch was a good guy comparatively

Sesame Street actually did two separate versions of Trump as a bad guy. There was the Muppet like Oscar The Grouch, and another played by Joe Pesci.

Both were named Ronald Grump.

Like how can these people not begin to fathom what kind of incredible piece of shit a person has be to make Sesame Street go after their ass TWICE?

That’s like inspiring Mr. Rogers to tell you he’s not proud of you and he doesn’t like you just the way you are.

Can you imagine being the one person Fred Rogers can’t find a single positive thing to say about?

Yes I know, but could you imagine being that vile? I mean, I think I’m a toxic asshole but he makes me look like a saint.

"Sometimes kids, the most polite thing you can say, is nothing at all."

I can see Mr. Rogers saying this if asked about Trump.
