Sesame Street vs. Donald Trump

Avi Selk writes a post summarizing the "surprisingly vicious takedowns of Donald Trump" featured on Sesame Street over the three decades leading to his rise to political power. In three known episodes in which a character named "Donald Grump" appears, the Grump is employed as the villain in a moral allegory, according to Selk's take. "Whenever Grump visits Sesame Street, chaos is not far behind."

Here's how Selk summarizes each episode, with more detail in the article:

1. Grump cons a muppet into signing a draconian contract
2. Sesame Street gets politically woke
3. Grump pits the muppets against each other. And someone sort of gets deported.

The Washington Post also created a video, which you can watch below, to explain Sesame Street's critique of Trump's business and moral code.
