“With just 99 days until the presidential election, Trump’s poll numbers are flagging, perhaps attributable to the fact that we’ve got an out-of-control pandemic, the worst unemployment in nearly a century, an epidemic of racist police brutality, and a looming eviction crisis.
But don’t worry, the Trump administration will protect your cartoons and your toys. Last Friday the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, complained on behalf of the president about ‘cancel culture’ and decried the cancellation of the children’s police cartoon Paw Patrol and Lego police sets.
This is where the Trump administration and the Republican party are at: whining about cartoons and Legos while sending secret police to gas moms and vets and arguing that slavery was a ‘necessary evil’ – a sitting United States senator said that, it was Senator Tom Cotton’s apparent defense of the founding fathers’ view on slavery. At least, I think Tom Cotton is a senator … he looks like the Confederate Slender man.
Seriously, these guys just keep coming up with winners. I mean, what’s next? Is Trump going to say something nice about an alleged sex trafficker and predator who was arrested by the FBI at a remote … oh yeah, right. They really think Americans care about Paw Patrol and Legos.
I guess they think if you’re quarantining at home to avoid the deadly virus they failed to stop, you’ll need something to keep you entertained. The craziest part is that neither Paw Patrol nor Lego police sets were, in fact, canceled – a point clarified by Paw Patrol’s official Twitter account.
So, the Trump administration got fact-checked by a children’s cartoon. And at this point, it’s not long before Arthur shows up to a protest with a sign that says ‘Fuck Trump.’” —Seth Meyers
