Trump Cannot Count

From The New Yorker

This is my first blog post of my first blog.  This cartoon is supposedly funny because it teases Donald Trump who overestimated the number of people who attended his inauguration. It shows him here, underestimating badly how many women are there.  He is not terrific at estimating crowd see, proven by how badly he is estimating this one.  His bad estimate is the basis of most of the humor.

  The cartoon also reminds people that there are lot of women who marched on Washington in protest to him and that there are way more of them than who attended his inauguration.  Some of the humor of the cartoon is that it teases Trump and most readers of The New Yorker were opposed to Trump.

  It shows a tiny Mike Pence hiding behind Donald Trump, which isn't exactly funny, but it shows the VP hiding behind Trump, so it belittles Trump a little, and that is sort of fun if you don't like Trump.

  It shows Trump with the TV on this isn't exactly funny, but it is one more element of teasing Trump.

Summary:  the cartoon is mostly funny for people who don't like Trump, since it makes him Trump look bad generally and dishonest about crowd sizes in particular.
