In church last Sunday, I overheard a sweet, elderly lady in a nearby pew saying a prayer. She was so innocent and sincere that I just had to share it with you:
"Dear Lord: this year has been very tough. You have taken my favorite actors Sean Connery, Kirk Douglas and Diana Rigg; my favorite television host, Alex Trebek; Carl Reiner from 'Your Show Of Shows;' Little Richard; even Charlie Daniels and Kenny Rogers, my two favorite country-western singers; and from sports you took Gale Sayers and my favorite basketball player, Kobe Bryant.
"I just wanted you to know that my favorite politicians are Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham."

This trope has been around for eons. I first ht as a Bush-Cheney "prayer." Sorry if I don't see the humor in it.

Better than some since they are so long-lived.
I've heard versions of all of these all my life, and they were probably around before me.

An 80 year old friend from Texas sent me this, and he hadnt heard it before either.
