America's Court Jester.
Look, the America's Mayor thing was always bullshit, but he had a tiny iota of respect.
Now, a joke wrapped in a embarrassment.

(11,256 posts)He should have been exposed as a terrible mayor after 9-11, but he somehow was able to get the opposite to happen.
At least he's showing his true colors and absolute buffoonery now.

hroughout history, the best jesters would acquire legendary reputations, becoming celebrated for their sharp tongues and quick wit. Their role was more than pure amusement; they were the original truth tellers, whose job was to mock typical human vices of vanity, venality, snobbery, petulance, laziness, carpetbaggery, and fatuity. The court jesters aimed their humor at the usual targets: religion and the hypocrisy of its authority figures; pompous and self-serving scholars and grandiloquent artists; knavish and sycophantic court officials; and indolent, mercurial, or incompetent rulers. In Europe, the court jester would be called fool, buffoon, clown, jongleur, jogleor, joculator, stultor, scurra, fou, histrio, morion, among many other names. He was an essential fixture of the royal courts and master castles.
