I believe the time to stop mocking Trump's actions will probably never come.

I find the silly funny things, like seeing his image made over in clown makeup, not so funny anymore. But they take on new value and validity when he himself mocks the appearance of others.

Your observation that more statesmenlike behavior (McCain?) would be an effective response to the unpresidented behavior of the current holder of the Executive Office. But I don't see any statesmen doing the mocking. I see comedians and pundits mocking Trump, and Hilary fucking Clinton, really, when does the statute of recriminations run out on that one? They're getting paid for it. You can vote with your wallet and affect the result that way.

I think the ongoing abuse of privilege, utter tone-deafness, outright pandering and condescension, and especially the hypocrisy are textbook examples of attributes displayed by leaders that SHOULD BE mocked. That's right at the top of the list of low hanging fruit for mockery. He's actively destroying the trustworthiness of the *office* by his shenanigans. I'm prepared to use the means I have to expose his bullshit and fight against the destruction he spreads. Very few other levers have any traction against such abuses.


One more point. It's not mockery to have his statements revealed to be wrong. Fact checking is not mockery, even if he cries and whines about it.
