on an anti-Trump ad from former Senator Bill Bradley’s Super PAC before the 2016 election.

But it’s hard to imagine the average Trump supporter — and certainly not the man himself — caring about such a thing. Through the MAGA lens, the creative impulse behind those characters isn’t something to be respected piously, or parsed earnestly for sociopolitical relevance.
