Trump is now pop cultures biggest target. Looks as if he cant take it.

"SNIP...........


Part of being the president of the United States is having some portion of the arts and entertainment community satirize you, ridicule you or dump on you.

President Ronald Reagan is arguably the reason a brand of punk rock, called hard-core, existed in America. Bands such as DOA, Government Issue, the Minutemen, the Dead Kennedys and the appropriately named Reagan Youth tossed furious barbs at the Republican president through songs like “F—-d Up Ronnie” and “If Reagan Played Disco.”

Even punk bands that did not speak specifically to the president, such as Washington’s famed Fugazi, came of age during his tenure.

That is not particularly surprising — pop culture often responds to whoever is in office, especially Republicans.
