President Trump<\/a> was made for Mardi Gras. He’s a caricature of a man in many respects. He’s the biggest cry baby to ever occupy the White House. Like a five year old he cannot control his temper, therefore he loses his temper a lot. He’s mad at a lot of powerful and not so powerful people. And his skin is orange!<\/p>\n

There is no doubt in my mind that Carnival 2017 will be chock full of satirical stabs at our President. His intolerance, inconsistent policy pronunciations, use of Twitter to discuss\/set policy, his crazy shock of blond hair, these are targets made for Mardi Gras parodies.<\/p>\n

The first real parade of the season, the ribald and risque Krewe du Vieux <\/a>rolls this Saturday in the French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, and downtown. Among the Trump floats are our President as Jabba the Hutt; a tentacled, fondling Trump creature; and a homage to an unholy alliance between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Bottles of Trumpoff<\/em> vodka will be handed out along with I Voted<\/em> stickers starring Putin mimicking the George Rodrigue’s Blue Dog voting stickers that voters in Louisiana received after voting.<\/p>\n

I cannot wait to see how the other satirical krewes like Muses<\/a>, Tucks<\/a>, NYX,<\/a> etc. will mess with our president. This should be a very fun Mardi Gras season.<\/p>\n

Here is the Donald at Carnival 2016!<\/p>\n
