Feast of Fools/ Lord of Misrule (On Trump as Clown)

In the Middle Ages, the Feast of Fools, a burlesque religious festival, was celebrated on or near New Year’s Day. In many places a Lord of Misrule, or a Boy-Bishop, or an Ass, ruled over the revels. We take the opportunity to share my not-unrelatedNow This video, published just a couple days ago, which has now been viewed by nearly a quarter million people through various platforms. Trump as Clown as Murdering Marauder. Happy New Year!
