    It is hard to believe that the Disgusting Twisted Left's moral compass  could drop any lower than it already has following the election of Donald Trump.But yes it has; from The Guardian:

    'Delta Air Lines and Bank of America have pulled their sponsorship of a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar in New York over a portrayal of the assassinated Roman leader that resembles Donald Trump.
    The contemporary staging of Shakespeare’s tragedy, by the nonprofit Public Theater, portrays Caesar as a blond-haired, powerful man wearing a business suit with an American flag pin, while his wife, Calpurnia, has a Slavic accent and dresses in designer fashions.


    Two US companies have pulled their sponsorship from a New York production of Julius Caesar because it depicts a Trump-like character – grisly ending and all. But the bard has other characters that better fit the US president


    Shakespeare’s play focuses on the fatal stabbing of Caesar by former associates, and the subsequent fate of Rome’s political institutions.
    Delta said in a statement on Sunday that the Public Theater’s “artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the standards of good taste”.

    “No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of Julius Caesar at this summer’s Free Shakespeare in the Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines’ values,” the statement said.

    Bank of America later said it would withdraw financial support from the production alone, rather than the theatre itself. A spokeswoman, Susan Atran, said: “The Public Theater chose to present ‘Julius Caesar’ in a way that was intended to provoke and offend”.
    “Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided not to sponsor it. We are withdrawing our funding for this production.”
    In announcing the production in New York’s Central Park earlier this year, the Public Theater said the play had “never felt more contemporary” and described the Roman leader as “magnetic, populist, irreverent, he seems bent on absolute power”.
    The New York Times review on Friday said the “depiction of a petulant, blondish Caesar in a blue suit, complete with gold bathtub and a pouty Slavic wife, takes onstage Trump-trolling to a startling new level”.
    The New York Daily News said the production “imagines the Roman ruler as a blond, swaggering, egotist who’s a dead ringer for the current occupant of the Oval Office. And he gets murdered for his hubris and hunger for power.”

    The Public Theater and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.
    The play opened on 23 May in previews and runs through to 18 June with an opening on Monday. It is the first time in 17 years the play has been staged at Central Park’s Delacorte Theater.
