Well then, I guess the only explanation is all the massive anti-Trump publicity being driven by the Leftist media.  Don't remember that same level of attack during Obama's time, so nobody noticed I assume.

I think the premise presented by boiler and nb was "if there was a play staged like Julius Caesar and president Obama was parodied as Caesar, there would be mass rioting."  There was such a play and there was no rioting NOR was there a hue and cry over the Kingsman movie when an obvious Obama President was brutally massacred. 

This proves that the left does not go to plays or movies.

Explanation for what exactly?

For why Delta pulled this sponsorship but didn't when Obama was the subject of the art.  Or else Delta is the front for a white supremacist organization.

So the "massive anti trump publicity being driven by the leftist media" is the reason Delta pulled the sponsorship of a play depicting Trump as Caesar? That doesn't really make sense.

I don't think there is an explanation....but there some inconsistency in Deltas position.

Who knows, and quite honestly, who cares.  Delta is a big company that has been around for a long time, but they may make mistakes.  A lot of art is done in poor taste, but then again, it is still art, and people are not forced to look at it.
