It’s official: WaPo is clowning around…
In a Washington Post op-ed, Tim Cunningham, chairman of Clowns Without Borders, slammed comparisons to President Trump, insisting real clowns “bring joy to the world, not chaos to Washington.”
While jabs at Trump’s “clownish” behavior are common, Cunningham argued the label unfairly diminishes the purpose of his “joyful work.”
“I’m here to set the record straight,” Cunningham writes in the op-ed, headlined “Donald Trump Is Not a Clown. I Should Know.”
Cunningham in his op-ed urges his readers to “find a better metaphor to despise and depose fascism.”
And there you have it: The Washington Post really is full of clowns.

🚨 CLOWN moment? 🤡
The @washingtonpost today released an op-ed by a LITERAL CLOWN arguing that President Trump is not worthy of the "sacred" title of “clown," but instead should be called a "buffoon."
