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 role of Caesar?
Point 1 - Julius Caesar abused the office. Much like Trump. Part of the lesson in the play is that Julius Caesar is just as much the enemy of democracy as Brutus and Cassius. It is using art as a lesson we can all learn in the present political climate. Even though the man in power is a tyrant, killing him makes you as bad or worse than the tyrant.
Point 2 - They did, just in print. The actual depiction isn't really necessary for it to get you all ruffled, is it?
"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
