The screen grab I posted is the \u201ccouch gag\u201d of an animation, and it deliberately references current events because that\u2019s otherwise impossible to do in animation. Trump is the butt of the joke because Congress started impeachment proceedings this week and that is the current story. If something else were happening right now, the joke would be different."}
