Bless the Parodies #Election2016

by Kim D.
They say imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery, unless you are referring to Twitter parody accounts. Recently a new parody of Donald J. Trump joined Twitter, and he (if it is a he) is very good at fooling supporters and detractors of the GOP front runner. He's got the speech pattern down but check the Twitter handle before you respond. Is it Donald or Denald?

Some tweets are obvious parody:



Others . . . not so much . . . believe me:
Many are confusing the two accounts on Twitter falling for either the Donald's or Denald's hilarious tweets:
The race for the GOP nomination has been unlike anything we have seen in modern times. Just when you think the rhetoric couldn't be more ridiculous, the front runner opens his mouth and proves that theory wrong. Donald J. Trump began running a social media campaign, relying on bold and non-politically correct statements to capture the news cycle, and it has worked well. Now that the race has narrowed and people are waking up to the realization that a loud mouth bully may be the GOP nominee, who polls the worse head to head against Hillary Clinton (at this time the presumptive Dem nominee), previous support is beginning to dwindle.

Denald has inspired others to join in on the joke - a parody cast:



Bless the parodies and remember them - on the darkest days of this primary season for much-needed comic relief:
The fake Donald comes off like the little voice inside Trump's head, saying the things that perhaps the front runner isn't tweeting but you know he's most likely thinking.

On Chris Christie:

On Sarah Palin:
On the real Ben Carson:

On reporters in general:

On his family:


Not everyone appreciates Denald's wit, but some his tweets are strikingly honest in regard to the true nature of Donald Trump and his campaign for the White House:
