I have heard of satire, but this was a deliberate Lefftie attempt to belittle the next President of the USA.

Talbot - //Has Obama ever been a target for satirists? //
I am sure he has - but satirists have to work with the material available.
In the same way that Cameron was far too bland to spend much time on, Tony Benn was a positive gift.
So although President Obama may have been given an easy ride because he lacks any stand-out idiosyncrasies in either appearance or personality, President Trump will be a gift that keeps on giving.

/// Nonsense AOG....its satire, something the BBC has been doing very well since at least TWTNTW in 1962. ///
Time has changed a lot since 1962.
We now live in an age when some are allowed the privlage to be offended, so certain subjects and personalities are no longer allowed to be satirised, while it is perfectly in order to satire others.

/// The alternative would be forelock tugging and bowing, which would be equally unpalatable. ///
No one is asking for such things, but an equally balanced show, rather than not picking constantly on one particular politician as we have seen the whole of the media do, simply because Donald Trump is his own man, who doesn't kowtow to PC.
Similar insults and hilarity has been shown towards not only politicians such as Nigel Farage but also those who had the audacity to be a Brexiter.

/// Have I got news for you has ripped politicians apart for 20 odd seasons nothing new!! ///
A completely different type of show than the one BBC2 aired last night.
Have you actually seen both shows, so as to come up with your failed analogy?
HIGNFY does not spend the whole of it's programme time ripped one particular politician apart, it is a cynical view of various recent news items.

Donald Trump is not being 'picked on' because he doesn't kowtow to PC - he is a satirical target because of the way in which he presents himself visually, personally, verbally, emotionally and politically.
He is a target because of his Neanderthal sexist and racist attitudes, his inability to form complete sentences, and his to-date repeated exhibitions of his unsuitability to hold the office to which he has been elected.
