That's a different "Anything Goes" to the one I know; the one I'm thinking of was written by Cole Porter...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The murder of Julius Caesar isn't heralded by Shakespeare. It isn't celebrated in the play. The "defenders of democracy" are, in the end, shown to be the enemies of democracy, taking matters into their own hands. Sure. The so called defenders of democracy are shown in the end to be the enemies of democracy. But why use a Trump look alike and a Melania look alike to prove that point? Why not use the main character himself, Julius Caesar? Or how would it have been taken if an Obama look alike portrayed the orole of Caesar? In 2012 New York's Public Theatre performed The Tragedy of Julius Caesar at the Guthrie with an Obama look alike. No outcry from the right. Perhaps they were too busy lynching Obama in effigy.

Just watched on the news. Both Delta Airlines and Bank of America pulled their funding from Shakespeare In The Park's Trump look alike Julius Caesar amid criticism on social media.

Even though I doubt they are making a subtle dig at political assassination, I don't see how you jumped to the conclusion that they are condoning the assassination of Trump from this video. They could have done this when Obama was president and made it about Obama instead, and I wouldn't equate this to the people that were lynching Obama dummies.
As a matter of fact, a production of the same play, set in Obama's tenure was staged.
Delta Airlines, oddly enough, didn't see fit to pull it's support from that production.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, your lot threw a hissy (which is only warranted and good when the right does it, amirite?) and got the sponsorship pulled. That's how this works. Yay capitalism!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
