“I’m Donald Grump, and I have more trash than all of you, so nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah.”

has a character named Donald Grump, a Grouch who hoards stinky piles of trash and has a fragile ego. The United States has a president namedto halt all federal funding to PBS , the free public broadcasting service.

Almost immediately, people began to suspect that Trump’s vendetta against the network wasn’t because of its “woke programming.” Instead, it’s all to do with a certain puppet show that has been trolling the man since the ’80s.Sesame Street's Ronald Grump talks about his plans to build"Grump Tower" which would force out Oscar the Grouch .In 1988, Sesame Street debuted its newest and angriest developer, Ronald Grump, whose project for a Grump Tower eerily paralleled a certain New York developer. Resident Oscar the Grouch was at first a joyful tenant and then an unhappy one.The only problem? Oscar the Grouch owns the Sesame Street property that Grump desperately wants. So, Grump approaches Oscar with a trade: “Your part of the deal would be to get your can out of here. My part would be to put my building here and let you live in it.” Of course, it’s all a big con, but Oscar doesn’t know that. He signs the deal only to quickly realize why no one should trust a Grouch like Ronald Grump. To get out of the contract, Oscar has to pay Grump 40 bags of trash, but he doesn’t have that kind of waste lying around. Desperate, Grump turns to the Sesame Street adults for help, and the community comes together to pay off his debt. They throw Grump in the trash and run him out of town.“I love you people. You deserve some of the finer things. Trust me, you won’t miss all this,” Grump says. “You all get shiny new apartments! You’ll even get a concierge.”When the residents don’t take the bait, Grump switches up his tune, throwing a tantrum in front of everyone. “OK, OK, that’s it! I tried to be nice to you people, but you don’t want to listen! You got two weeks—pack up and get out!” Naturally, the only person who stands to make money from Grump World is Grump himself. Who could have seen that coming? The year is 2005, and Ronald Grump is now Donald Grump—a Grouch who claims to have “more trash than anyone in the world” and dons ill-fitting business suits while putting his burnt Cheeto-colored hair in a combover. Not to mention, his eyebrows could use a few threading sessions., the reality television show that solidified Trump’s fame in 2005, Grump heads to Sesame Street to announce to the “poor” crowd of puppets that he is in search of an apprentice. Elmo and a few Grouches are the only ones interested in the competition. They buy into Grump’s “I’m the trashiest” schtick, ignoring all the warning signs about his rotten attitude.After undergoing a series of trashy trials, Elmo emerges as the clear winner. However, Grump doesn’t want to hire him, as he is simply too competent. This leaves Elmo beyond devastated, upset that he won’t have the chance to make big “trash” bucks that Grump promised.
