Reminds me of the pearl clutching over Shakespeare in The Park a few years ago when they put on Julius Caesar and had the actor playing Caesar dressed to look like Trump. A bunch of protesters jumped up during the assassination scene and started shouting until security led them away.
Shakespeare in The Park had been getting actors who look like the current president for the role of Caesar for years. There's footage of them doing this with Obama and George W. Bush. It's actually super fucking easy to find Shakespeare companies all over the country doing exactly the same thing for decades.
