We hate to break it to fans of Fawlty Towers and Monty Python's Flying Circus, but John Cleese has contracted a raging case of TDS and is beyond cure. We were set the other day to publish a post on Cleese's tendency to repost lies about Israel, but in this case, he went after President Donald Trump in a poorly thought-out post that he decided to delete.
As you know, Tuesday was Veterans' Day, and as is the custom, Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Cleese might have thought to take the day off from TDS posting, but instead he decided to run with a "joke" inspired by Atlantic fabulist Jeffrey Goldberg, saying what he saw in the photo of the event was Trump laying a wreath at the Tomb of the "Unknown Loser."
Cleese deleted the post, but not before someone captured a screenshot:
John Cleese's disgusting remarks about fallen soldiers.

Slagging off the unknown soldier is a new low for John Cleese. https://t.co/f3FbyKzlWi

TDS. It's a mass psychosis. On another note, why'd he have to open his fat mouth because now I'm going to feel weird watching anything he's in - and I grew up on his movies.

Has Cleese got dementia to post something like that?

I've been a fan for 50 years and he just lost me with this.
I'm beginning to think his account was taken over by an activist grandchild

John Cheese is out to destroy his legacy.

It must be nice being that rich and distanced from reality.
Look if he want to piss on his 'legend' status, let him.

I had to check it was actually him, not a parody account. Disgraceful thing to post. A boomer like him must know what the unknown soldier represents.

Im unsure why he took aim at this. It isn’t the slightest bit funny. It’s disrespectful and just unbecoming of a Brit gent.

This isn't a good look.

Somehow, I get the feeling he’s not writing these tweets anymore.

Sadly, we're pretty sure he is. Cleese is a little too anxious to hit that Post button. This isn't the first TDS post he's deleted; there was this one back in May:
Hi @JohnCleese! Why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/sSQ03kfSO9

He's also recently reposted posts about ICE "arresting" a six-year-old girl and Erika Kirk applying fake tears before a Turning Point USA event.
Sad.
