Sorry to be the messenger, but DRUMPF is getting normalized. This was a doctor's waiting room, t.v.

There were 20-30 people in the waiting room, 4 t.v.(s) - The View was on. There was heavy representation of mixed demographics.

So The View had a little contest of DRUMPF impressionist comedians with a panel of 3 judges: Joy BEHAR (fine); Darrell HAMMOND; and Who-knows.

The three contestants did the wig & red tie thing. I looked just looked at the screen across the room not finding it the least funny.

But here's the bad news: Several in the room, including the non-Old/Whites, thought the DRUMPF impressions were hilarious and cute. Normal.

They're seeing him as a comedy punch line. Impressions? Has there ever been a contest for presidential impressions before? No, because the presidents are all to boring to imitate. Of course that doesn't include SNL because they are satire and reacing a different audience.

People see him as a punch line, a joke. He's easy to immitate. That's not normal.
