Sesame Street is on HBO. Elmo isn’t employed by the federal government. https://t.co/cl9VWkJaBX

Ummm right?
oh, is HBO laying him off?? ?

Elmo and the Sesame Street brand make millions of dollars every year, so really this rationale (while surely it cracked a Lefty or two up) is stupid. Forget that it would be HBO firing him, not President Grump.
Silly Lefties, they just don’t understand how most things work.

Wait, we probably don’t want to give the Left any hashtag ideas.
@charlescwcooke Yes, but so is John Kerry, so that doesn't preclude a federal job.

He does look a little like Sam the Eagle:
See?!
1) He's on HBO 2) Sesame Street has been wildly profitable, why would taxpayer $ be needed?

@benshapiro @charlescwcooke Also, Elmo is arguably the richest puppet on earth.

Elmo makes way more than the average American whom he just so happens to be begging for money.
How very typical.
