The Donald Trump peep show
In the serious and important city of Washington, D.C., many serious and important people do many serious and important things. But none of the serious and important things is more seriouser or importantish than the Washington Post’s annual Peep Diorama Contest.
First place goes this year to Alex Baker, Leslie Eldridge, and Mary Clare Peate for the whimsical bit of nightmare fuel shown above.
..this satirical take on the Republican candidate’s brain — seen as a command center like the one in the 2015 Pixar film “Inside Out” — was a yuuuge winner, garnering more votes than all the other entries combined. It depicts a moment during the Aug. 6 Fox News Republican debate, as Trump is looking at moderator and nemesis Megyn Kelly.
Between the characters Fear and Disgust, an Anger Peep is poised to press a large red button, while Joy and Sadness are corralled behind a fence. Portraits of former wives Marla Maples and Ivana Trump adorn the interior, which has been trimmed in marble and gold.
I know I have been critical of the Washington Post in the past … hour or so, but I do applaud its efforts to show the public that Peeps are not meant to be eaten.
