Offended? By what?

Mollymalone123 · 28/04/2020 21:27

Only if you are a trump supporter-

RednaxelasPony · 28/04/2020 21:28

If I were Trump maybe?!

CalmdownJanet · 28/04/2020 21:28

Yanbu if you are a clown

MarylandMayhem · 28/04/2020 21:28

Why would it be offensive?

mollibu · 28/04/2020 21:29

Do you identify as a clown, OP?

Charmatt · 28/04/2020 21:29

They are all represented correctly, except the clown should be orange with white circles round his eyes

dickensinthepark · 28/04/2020 21:30

Only if you are a professionally offended snowflake.

Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 28/04/2020 21:30

Not in the slightest. Are you offended? Are you a trump supporter or identifying as a clown?

Holothane · 28/04/2020 21:30

He is a clown.

FTMF30 · 28/04/2020 21:31

Not offensive but a bit random of your boss to send it to you imo.

Boogiewoogietoo · 28/04/2020 21:31

Only if I thought Trump wasn’t a complete clown. So, no.

ilovewinterpansies · 28/04/2020 21:31

Only offensive if you are a trump supporter and I can't imagine there are many of those on MN.

WeddingNameChange · 28/04/2020 21:31

Cant see why its offensive at all? Unless like pp said you identify as a clown?

RandomAmanda · 28/04/2020 21:32

Yes, it's very offensive. I'm horribly offended. I've never been so outrageously offended.

wildcherries · 28/04/2020 21:32

Seems pretty accurate.

Bloodybridget · 28/04/2020 21:32

Are you implying it's offensive to say that the previous President was Black?

FlamingIris · 28/04/2020 21:32

It’s a light hearted meme all over social media. You will be one of many that your boss has sent it to.
Offended, no. Wish I had a boss that would keep our correspondence work related, yes haha.

recycledteenager24 · 28/04/2020 21:33

what's the problem ? all the presidents have been white and obama was black. only telling the truth here, hardly offensive.

saffy1234 · 28/04/2020 21:33

No not at all
Do you mean the black emoji I presume?

LockdownMayhem · 28/04/2020 21:33

I'm guessing you mean because they have portrayed Obama as black as opposed to Trump as a clown?

If they'd shown the first 43 as white (rather than the more generic yellow) you could say it was factual (obviously with Trump as a clown being subjective) but it's odd that they've chosen to single out Obama as black when the others are yellow...

Choice4567 · 28/04/2020 21:34

Not unless you are or have been the President of the US

Traviis · 28/04/2020 21:34

I’d presume his phone had been stolen if my boss sent me that.

opticaldelusion · 28/04/2020 21:34

Come on then, OP... why is it offensive?

LockdownMayhem · 28/04/2020 21:34

Agh, sorry, I thought the others looked yellow, but on closer inspection, they do appear more pink...
