Mad Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman shows off the debut cover of the publication's new look at a New York news conference Tuesday, April 1, 1997.
The magazine first used the illustration on its cover in 1956 as a write-in candidate for president. While fairly ubiquitous in pop culture, the popularity of the cartoon and the magazine peaked in the 1970s. "I’ll be honest. I had to Google that,” Buttigieg told reporters Friday. “I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference. It’s kind of funny, I guess.”
The millennial mayor plays up his youth as an asset. He’s fond of saying it will be 2054 when he’s the same age as Trump, making him part of the generation that has the greatest long-term stake in the political decisions made today.
Here We Go. This playground act ofTrump should be ignored. Do not give press to any of this. We demand that the Press not include his pet name reference. Shut Him Down. It was disgraceful how The Press gave Trump an edge in the election and Debates. Bleep it out. No aid to enemy
That is too funny. But I like it.
BUTTIGIEG IS AN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN WHILE TRUMP SAYS INCEST IS NORMAL
BUTTIGIEG CALLS TRUM AN OLD FAR----T
Little bit of knowledge of history never hurt anyone.
Just what's your justification for encouraging his pettiness?
Democracy just died a little bit.
How is this part of “democracy dies in darkness”
Who 45 is still in the 1950’s where segregation and hatred were rife. And he’s bringing it back
What a scoop!
I wish I was a moron who pushed propaganda for the president so jeff bezos would hire me
Whoever posted this is a terrible human being. Whoever lets it remain up is a terrible human being.
Yo don’t give insults this kind of validation
Totally you’d need to be a relic to remember mad magazine only trump‼️
what will he come up with next? Poopy Pants Joe Biden? This is riveting.
be better.
Be best!
My daughter was born in 1982 and has known of Alfred E. Newman forever. If Buttigieg hasn’t heard of him or has never read MAD magazine, he certainly isn’t fit for the presidency! He’s not a well-read individual!
Your obsession with juvenile insults of this demented president shows how unserious you are. Worse, how you'll waste time amplifying the sliminess of the orange terror in the WH. You're part of the problem. Why not write something newsworthy about Buttigieg?
Old people: hahaha that’s so funny Young adults: dead meme Moral of the story? Don’t let dead 4chan memes run the country We need young Americans to turn out and vote in 2020
Climate change is going to cause a lot of fucking damage. A story about that would have been better than this.
This isn’t news. Stop promoting this crap. You are the problem. This is tabloid click bait garbage. Do you even take your role seriously?
Remember when you guys did journalism?
The paper of 'democracy dies in darkness' could devote this space instead to any number of the things 45 is doing that are causing suffering and death and disenfranchisement
Why are you trying to propagate Trump's nicknames? Please stop
This is not news.
You people are the worst.
This is embarrassingly dumb. Now that NYT has sunk so low, we look to you for leadership. Do better.
Today in hard news
I love Trump but giving Buttigieg Alfred E Neumann as a nickname is an insult to Neuman. Buttigieg is a baby killing dolt.
And that Trump is a 6 year old bully.
Guess its better than orange face as a huge blimp
Trump’s nickname is Brokeahontas!
resemblance is striking
please top playing into these disrespectful name calling......its not cute nor presidential.
light hearted joke ....triggers plebs who soon will be out of work ....at the Washington post ...booohooooo
It shows tRump's stupidity and yours for writing an article about it.
Yr obsession w/Trump's schoolyard-bully 'tactics' is such a huge part of the problem that I can't even. Candidates like Warren and Booker draft actual policy outlines with, like, actual ideas for fixing things and you send ALL THE REPORTERS to cover 'Buttigeig's bully nickname'.
Who the fuck cares? The only news here is the childish, cancerous popular vote loser continues to degrade the White House every day he’s in office
45 is such an immature, hateful, spiteful, mean, lying, cheating, individual
Stop talking about nicknames. Nobody cares. boycottnicknames
I love Pete2020. I’d like to see a Bernie/Pete or Pete/Bernie ticket for the 2020 election. Let’s beat DingbatDonald!
How about having some journalistic integrity and stop promoting Trumps childish behaviors.
Oh no, not a gender gap! Whatever will we do?
Alfred transcends generations by being iconic, unlike WaPo which serves only to reinforce brainwashing protocols through propaganda and is already experiencing the death rattles of the dustbin. Any updates on real news like NXIVM?
Individual one’s lack of intelligence is a clear and present danger!!!
Priceless!
Oh, bullshit - self-styled genius, multilingual man of the world Buttigieg most certainly has seen Alfred E Neuman and most certainly has known since that day that he looks like him and has lived in mortal fear that one day everyone else will know it too. That’s Trump’s genius.
Yeah, but that’s his base - old, stupid, uneducated white men (and some of their blindly-following wives).
Generation gap, yes! Depiction, spot on!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Really? Because dorky assface is a quality that spans generations. The thing is, most people grow out of it by 37, Mayor Buttplug
Mad was a big deal when I was a kid... in the 50s! I guess reminding people that it still exists is part of Trump’s MAGA plans.
The Dem candidate needs to attack trumpeter with their own mockery or lose forget going high
It could have been worse. He could have been called 'Howdy Doody'.
Yeah because there wasn't a show called Mad TV that everyone in America should be aware of.
Neuman reminded me a lot of Howdy Doody
Yea , because Trump is so not Handsome that he labels other people ! What Mirror are you looking into Trump ? Oh “The Fake Mirror “ The one that doesn’t show your “Orange Glow “ and your” Big Fat A “! What’s up with your “Crazy Hair “ ?😂😂😂😂
It also shows STUPIDITY!
How about the Sleepy Joe nickname that he has used for multiple Joe's. That is from a popular Herman's Hermits song that came out when Trump was 19. Even the news announcers haven't figured that out yet.
It’s the only tweet of his I’ve enjoyed. Admit it...guy’s a dead ringer.
Or naïveté
That's ok, it's still funny and fitting. He looks just like him. I'm old, but didn't know who this was either. Besides, may or Pete is getting beat by 2 old white guys, in his own party.
Mayor Pete is not easily bullied. He'll make the race more interesting. Maybe he'll even find some tangible policies to defend along the way.
Alfred E Neuman was a hero to many when I was in high school.
Beats some alternatives he could have came up with based on his last name. Kind of refreshing actually. I always thought AlfredE Neuman would be considered attractive in his world. He’s certainly confident. I bet he’d make a great president... actually he’d probably be like Trump
it shows a humour gap not a generation gap.
Yes that generation that knows nothing about government and also happens to not vote either
What, Pete worry? He’s planning to spend money from everyone else.
And ignorance
This is how they learn things.
Generation gap? I’m younger than Pete buttplug and I know who Alfred is..trump is older than him...where’s the gap
This is not news. Shame on you.
Stop. Just stop.
Right on the money though.
NOBODY CARES. The whole “mean nickname” schtick is entirely dependent upon media complicity and NOT news. STOP.
Just goes to show ya how 'MAD' Trump truly is!!
The Washington Post only backs corporate democrats and will tear down everyone else. Bezos wants to continue to pay no taxes and cheat the working class in this country
This is not even gossip. It’s just boring.
Stop promoting this Fuck nugget and his childish and embarrassing behavior. My 5 yr old is more polite and conducts herself with more class than this poor excuse for a grown (elderly) man
How dare he ridicule anyone’s appearance-Trump is evil.
I don’t pay my subscription for bullshit like this .
I call him butt plug
Young folks have never read Mad Magazine! “What Me Worry?”
Trumps obviously a genius, even you guys think it’s a great fit do u have to come up with this crap as a headline!! I love everything about this
generation gap in that trump has the mentality of an infant and the other guy is an adult
But we can all google it and laugh 😂
Are you amused by his headshot nicknames? Stop devoting time and space to covering Trump drivel.
No it doesn’t. Fake news.
Poor old deranged donald!
Well Neuman and Buttigieg are FAR BETTER LOOKING than he is.
One’s young, one’s old. What’s your point?
If you don’t know who Alfred E Neuman is it just shows you’re totally out of touch
stop
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And your coverage is at least as idiotic
Jabba the Hut is the current president so it seems any fool can be elected president
No, it's showing a lack of education and historical understanding. Something WaPo seems to be an expert at -- getting things all wrong. I hope your news 'style' improves with your new owner, Nick Sandmann.
He got that from his favorite picture magazine ( Playboy 2nd)
Looks like two dummy’s.
Why repeat Trump’s insults? Ignoring him would be like water to the Wicked Witch.
Looks just like each other
No, it shows that no matter how old someone is there is a nickname that Trump will give you! MAGA
So lame.
Do not encourage or enable his bullying nicknames!!
This isn’t journalism.....what a waste.
Show's how uneducated Pete is
What is wrong w u? SHAME 4 repeating trump’s bullshit. STOP IT. StopSmplifyingTrumpsBullshit StopAmplifyingTrumpsLies Every time u repeat his asinine comment, u validate & legitimize his atrocities. STOP DOING THAT. Repeat what is worthy of repeating 2 neutralize GOP lies.
brokeahontus name calling again.
Who doesn’t know who that is
Why cover this?
I’m a Gen Xer and I didn’t know Alfred E. Neuman.
this isn’t worth an article
Millennials seem to have zero sense of history or place. Sad
If anyone is called Alfred E. Neuman it should be trump. They even look alike
Washed ass reference
Thats what you report on as this deranged president calls people names?
Welcome to the new world where our incompetent potus can use demeaning nicknames and daily insults of fellow Americans but the narrative is about generation gaps and millennials.
LOL!
I would vote for alfred e neuman over Brokeahontas
😱
If you're going to gush over every nickname tRump hands out, how bout you also accurately report all of his lies, crimes, and attempts to dismantle our checks and balances? The media is failing America for profit.
Was it Buttigieg who pegged Trump as “Don the Con”? If so, this is heating up!
I clearly see it though lmfao.
Why does the news even make this news
DumbassDonald4PrisonMAGA
He's no Pat Paulsen.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t call him Buster Keaton
Dems should refer to Trump as Jabba The Hutt.
really?
No you're wrong again. He is right again.
Trump is right again
My favorite Mad Mag characters and more appropriate to any discussion involving the dRumph administration.
It shows imaturity.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and those of us who remember Alfred E Newman know that name call is a big stretch! He is more like wonder boy while Trump is exactly like Dennis the Fucking Menace! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump picks an old-guy nickname for Buttigieg: Alfred E. Neuman. via HuffPostPol
Funny... I thought only families, very good friends, lovers or bullies give nicknames.
This is not newsworthy.
That's the best big bloated orange Arse can come up with.
realDonaldTrump looking in a mirror BillionDollarLoser
mad comic is still for sale... my 14 year old son reads it
Trump's childish 'nickname' for Mayor Pete shows more than a generation gap; it shows Trump's petty, venal nature. He thinks it displays his branding genius, but it really tells us all that he is not doing his actual job. He shouldn't have time for this kind of silliness.
Woke.
And it's also perfect.
What, me worry?
The media spends way too much time focusing on the childish nicknames trump bestows upon his opponents. When Trump's starts calling Putin names, that will be newsworthy. In the meantime, just say 'bad boy,' don't give him any treats, and ignore him.
I will vote for Pete
Homer Simpson is calling names? Doh!
stop the shit-
Stop legitimizing his bullying and namecalling like it is news. At very least let the caption read, 'President bullies and mocks opponent's appearance in unprovoked attack '.
😂😂😂
So?
This headline gave me a headache
There is a bit resemblance
Click bait, not journalism.
Ridiculous how far we’ve fallen and how far the GOP has sunk into the abyss that we just accept a President who is so childish to need nicknames for his opponents. Here are few for realDonaldTrump draftdodger coward cheater liar
Also shows Trump's immaturity, again.
Call him bridge-and-tunnel Donnie. He won’t have to google it.
well trump is an old old man, so what can you expect?
What,me worry
It also shows the enormous intelligence gap. I’d elect the actual cartoon Alfred E Neumann over trump any day. Trump’s a morbidly obese, mentally & physically failing 10 year old calling everyone names. I’m reciprocating. realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse
No it doesn't
Isn’t the idiot supposed to behave like like a president? He is a buffoon
Does Bootyjudge not know about Batman, either? (intr 1939)
trumps nickname should be ‘Fat Donald’
What.a insult to Alfred Neuman.
Keep it up, DerangedDonald
Also lets face it: Mad Magazine was probably an intellectual zenith for POTUS. 🤣
Do better
The media’s nickname for Trump is LOSER DONALD!
It also reveals another defect of the BOTUS: He's really, really terrible at the Separated at Birth game. RIPSpyMagazine AmericaHeldHostageDay840
Mad magazine was the best
Don’t advertise trumps juvenile behavior. You’re doing his job for him and complicit in spreading his narrative
Generational gap? I’m the same age as Pete and I read Mad Magazine when I was a kid.
Generation gap? Lmao the bully is an elderly!
This isn’t news. Seriously re-considering subscribing to wapo. This is garbage.
Why do you continue to feed into 45's childish shenanigans; you keep normalizing his BS, which is what he loves; this is not newsworthy!!! BeBetter
Bozo the Clown Potus.
Yet, it’s still hilarious ...
Who?
Not many people know who that is and I am in my 40s - trump a way old man
Just goes to show that they are more ignorant of American culture than we thought!
funny 😀
The media are the ones who help trump with cheap and free media all tgwvtomwy
“Shows Trump Is Old”
No, it really doesn't.
Why the hell are you magnifying Trump's asinine personal insults?
Generational gap between proven experience and hopeful nut job
It doesn’t even make sense.
More garbage level “reporting “ from lazy media outlets.🤷🏽♂️
Why are we covering his juvenile nicknames? ChangeTheDamnNarrative already.
Pffft. It’s much more than that. It’s a third grader POTUS calling everyone he hates names.
Trump's Russian trolls spend endless hours commenting on MAD Magazine's various social media sites. They feel that MAD is a media outlet that is being biased. This is the depth of stupid we're at now.
Nope. Still works. Another fail by the Washington Compost. TDS
For the over-sixty set who can still remember Mad Magazine and National Lampoon, Alfred E. 'What me, worry?' Neuman is a pretty cool character. Buttigieg has received a compliment from Trump, however awkward.
Buttigieg is technically not even a millennial ..more a late Gen X..so he is just pretending...!
More like
ColbyItkowitz Funny, I don't recall the Post making a fuss about millennials not getting the Neuman reference when Obama said in 2008 that he had 'the ears of Alfred E. Neuman.'
Dopey Donald is a clown 🤡 I
Im sure Trump rather call that tool buttplug
Better Al than Satan. Because that’s who Individual1 looks like.
Not newsworthy
Mostly it just shows realDonaldTrump’s maturity gap 🙄 Nothing but a childish, old bully. UnfitToBePresident
I call him Pete Butt Plug.
It shows a multi generation gap. Trumps mind is in the 50’s.
Barney Rebble has a nerve nicknaming anyone, look at him , he does look like Barney. He’s a cartoon.
Psychological disorder (psychopathy) realDonaldTrump exhibits signs of: -Uncaring -Shallow Emotions -Irresponsibility -Insincere Speech -Overconfidence -Narrowing of Attention -Selfishness -Violence
Howdy Doody look better than Trump
And the that you think this is news. I see you haven’t learned your lessons from 2016. Is trump campaign paying for this help? If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it does it make a sound...think about it.
It’s too bad the we already elected Alfred E. Neumann two years ago. 😉
There is plenty of actual news. Do better
Trump looks like CHESTER THE MOLESTER.😉
Why are you covering g this nonsense . Shame !
More stupidity than generational gap.
Like this
Again, I challenge the Washington Post and the U.S. media to pledge not to write or comment about nicknames and insults written or said by Donald Trump. By doing this, the media is at the same low level as Trump. You are complicit in normalizing this.
Giving Trump a pass on his constant vicious name-calling by changing the focus. Nice job.
twinning
Don, how old are you, 5? Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. GROW UP!
Ach so It’s just Trump playing his schoolyard taunts. Typical .
He looks exactly like him. I do hope your story gets lots and lots of retweets. Just as Trump intended.
Trump controls the news narrative as usual
Wapo, this is not news. As long you keep reporting this nonsense, He'll keep up with this childish behavior.
Pounce! At least this is a more creative way of wording it. Also, you’re doing exactly what Trump wants. Tell me about the generation gap when you’re endorsing Biden/Bernie
It also shows the lengths a giggly distracted WaPo will go to enable Trump. Way to go boneheads! Oh that’s: 💀
Trump LOL !
And your reporting of this without condemning in the headline shows whats wrong. WP be better. It's unpresidential to call people names but you'll have many tweets about it! STOP
This is such useless garbage. Why is it newsworthy?
NOT NEWS! SHAME ON WP FOR EVEN WAISTING SPACE ON THIS BS.
We know. Pete is a child with no knowledge of the country’s popular culture history. But have you heard, he’s gay? So he has that going for him
Mayor Pete Buttigiege should take it up. Trump may have inadvertently marketed him for the Presidency. He has given a name so easy to take up with voters
Mostly, it shows that Trump is still setting the narrative for the media, because no one else cares on damn bit about his idiotic nicknames.
Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha omg . And it’s Mr President not “ Trumps” you misfits
Joe Biden is older
There goes DelusionalDonald again!
WTF.? We see what you’re doing. You’re not fooling anyone. Do your job! mediaBS
Personally doesn’t DonaldJTrumpJr look more like Mad Magazine Man Alfred ?
It won’t be a generation gap for long -
Ummmmmm, ok! 🤣
No, it just shows how weak the dem field is. Pathetic
Let's focus on Trump colluding with Russia vis a vis Ukraine
Was running this necessary?
Washington Post used to reputable. This is complicit with Trump
He should know it he’s just being stupid
Juvenile in WH
Striking resemblance 🤷🏼♂️
It sure does look like a befitting nick name!!
This isn’t newsworthy. Thank you, next.
I can't believe trump has the ability to read a MAD magazine
Bullshit. I'm the same age and I got the reference just fine.
IMPEACH!!!!!!
If Pete is Alfred E. Neaman, Donald and Melania are Boris and Natasha.
Or it shows that Trump has no knowledge in regards to policy, so he results to attacking his opponents physical appearance.
Jesus idiots. Stop doing Trumps work for him.
I would vote for Alfred E Neumann. Who wouldn’t, given the alternative?
Alfred E. Neuman? Trump’s nickname for millennial Pete Buttigieg shows Trump needs a geriatric nap
Why are you buying into this crap?
TrumpsOld
Seriously? I don’t understand why serious media outlets even cover this nonsense!
PeteButtigieg
Generation canyon.....drumph has a collection of 'Cracked' and 'High Times'.
You weren’t saying that during the 2016 election when MAD magazine spoofed Trump! 🤥🤥🤥 three pinnochios for you
What, me worry?
Look like twins. 700club cbngordon randpaul realDonaldTrump kennedynation foxnews sandrasmithfox marklevinshow rushlimbaugh danarohrabacher jaysekulow judgenap tedcruz dbongino
It's a little like Joe Biden comparing his foreign policy credentials and knowledge to Kissinger. Millennials don't have a clue about who/what Kissinger was.
Maybe so, and I am a Buttigieg fan, but I cannot get the vusual out of my mind—there is a comical resemblance, I apologize in advance. What, me worry?
What me worry?
so very newsworthy - (not)
You're stupid and out of touch. MAD is No.1 for satire since 1952 and is still on the shelf. Mayor Pete is out of touch and apparently wants you and others to believe Trump is 'old fashioned'. Flaunting his ignorance is not a good look. Mayor Pete is exposed.
The funny (stupid) thing about all this is that Mad Magazine and Mad TV have been around into the millennial era. So calling this a generational gap is pretty lazy. But hey, I am millennial, what do I know right?
What? Me Know This
Tabloid article. Do better.
It’s still funny.
Bobo the chimp
I'm 60 and I had no idea who IQ45 was talking about. I've seen the Mad character but didn't know it had a name. As usual, Mayor Pete handled it with class.
Promoting childish name calling just earned you an on follow. Next time it’ll be an unsubscribe from your paper. be a news organization or be a gossip rag — make a choice we all know.
It’s a “when you see it” meme. Everyone gets it dumb Wapo.
Why don’t you investigate what the hell Giuliani is up to instead?
And the fact that you’re giving Trump’s childlike insults coverage and a platform shows news sucks in 2019.
Hahahaha. Once again, President Trump is spot on! LMAO MAGA2020
140,000 monthly subscription say that you are wrong again WaPo! Everyone knows who Alfred E. Neumann is except you.
It really shows to me that the president of the United States is mired mentally in the 1960s and hasn’t moved on. He is incapable of seeing beyond a year. Out.
It’s not acceptable. As a parent I would punish my children for this behavior. It’s bullying. As a teacher I would call the parents. It’s bullying. This is the president. Twitter, shut him down.
They both have brown hair. Close enough for Trump, apparently.
And why does the media think an old white man (or any man) the strongest candidate to go against Trump? I'm sick of the bias that's focusing on the male candidates.
Trump’s not going to call the next one Dagwood Bumpster is he?
Why does the Post and other media tsk tsk about the nastiness of politics and then give a platform to the nastiest name caller in the White House?
Ugh. This is stupid for so many reasons.
Trump nick name should be Jim Jones, the pastor that con his congregation for their money, sex, property and ultimately had them participate in a mass suicide
But you have to admit the resemblance is amazing except Alfred E. Is a lot smarter.
Is running out of news story, they have to resort to this nonsense? You debase yourself when you follow in the foolishness.
This is hilarious 🤣
RuleDonaldTrump nickname...deranged Donald Mr. Piggy
I love that I didn’t know who that was!!!!!
All you can say is it shows a generation gap? How about lambasting Donald for calls more names. The generation gap in name calling is the least of the issues.
Had to admit is funny for us over 60 y/o people. Getting nickname is sign Mayor Pete is given as much recognition as Sleepy Joe and Fake Pocahontas. Let’s wait and see. Millennial women are OK w/ him being gay & are infatuated w/ his youth, look, language & piano playing skills
Guess Trump didn't workshop that one thoroughly.
Better then realDonaldTrump new nickname 'Donald the Biggest Loser Trump'.
Pro tip: Trump’s moronic nicknames are more descriptive of his weaknesses than his opponents, but the media is so lame that they blithely repeat his nonsense, failing to recognize this obvious point.
And was friggin hilarious
This again show who the Trumpers are a group of folks that can’t wait to have their liberties taken away as long as there’s a party you can yell and scream and get a free trucker’s hat. As they love to say Look It Up but they never do
Ah yes, that's what it shows. Not that he has the emotional maturity of a pre-schooler. Not that he is mean. Or crass. Or a bully. Or ugly on the inside. You're right. It shows there's a generation gap.
Instead of publicizing the idiot’s name-calling, how about contrasting their actual service to our country.
But Mayor Pete does look like Alfred. For the new generation the nickname would be “Fidel”.
So we just gonna forget the masterpiece that is the 2011 Mad Cartoon Network series?
Who cares about the generation gap it is sooooo funny, hilarious
Trump must be Bernie Madoff.
Stop putting this crap out there!
According to Pete?
Grow up.
I’m a just a touch younger than Trump and had to look it up
I guess I'm the only one that watched madtv and subscribed to the magazine for years and has a fucking t-shirt with Alfred E. Neuman on it... I'm 29 btw...
Sad!...Grandpa is so out of touch😒
Trump showed himself to be 'old and tired' with this reference to Alfred E. Neuman!
No it shows his continuing ignorance, poor judgement, constant name calling and disrespect and bullying.
They also don't know who Biden is or what he did. The gap is more than generational.
Is this better Bahahaha
Spot on! Stop crying libs, the oceans are already full.
Trump said ti, and so it became a hugely searched GOogle search. And no you pathetic fools running this talking point increases it. Now everyone knows who Alfred E Neuman is, and associates it with Booty Gig. Good job, FAKE News.
I didn’t get it either. Old white men 🤦🏾♂️
“It’s stupid to use references from long ago” “Now lets get back to The Post comparing people to Hitler”
If I were MPete, my response would be, 'What? Me worry?'
What it really shows is that DJT is afraid of PeteButtigieg
Please use your platform for things beyond amplifying a narcissistic bully. I appreciate that the words of any leader can be justified as newsworthy but headlines for the sake of clicks do not benefit anyone. Shine light on democracy not stupidity
What a fool
Don’t repeat these bullshit nicknames! These are BS stories that he gets you to chase and write about
I used to love Mad magazine when I was a kid. I got a subscription again for a year a few years ago just to see what it's like nowadays. They had some really funny stuff, mixed with other stuff that would make your inner Bart Simpson giggle.
I don't know what Trumps nickname is for Buttigieg because I didn't read the full article, I didn't care because Trump and his childish antiques of name-calling, is beneath me because I'm damn near 60 years old and he 72 you understand.
It's match puppet better-looking!
Ummm, no. It shows he's an immature bully with access to nuclear weapons.
Plus the 'what me worry?' guy was the epitome of edgy cool for that time. So really stupid labeling on Trump's part.
how does it show a generation gap? so anyone that reads your paper must be old. because you have been around for awhile? curious about that.
What me worry? Me beat Derango.
Trump nailed it! Its perfect for him too.
Pretty sure EVERYONE understands POSPussyGrabber's latest nickname: Brokahontas
how about not devoting millions of articles to this
This investigative reporting is mind blowing! Trump is old and Buttigieg is not! Haha
I like the sound of “President” Alfred E. Neuman....but the imagery is a little off. 👇 I like this image of an American who has served his country.
PeteForAmerica !!
I grew up reading MADmagazine . I don’t see the resemblance.
This is beyond stupid and not newsworthy. You’re the Washington Post for Christ’s sake!
So it’s okay to call T Fatso now? Or do we have to be politically correct and kind.
Why not talk about: How President of the United states feels the need to call Everyone Names? None of these candidates Should Have a nickname. From current or past cultural reference. Period.
He DOES look like him though
It’s actually pretty good
Buddha
He has derogatory nicknames for everybody - so everybody should just start referring to him as ‘Don the Con’, and make it stick.
Really you're giving this legs?
Nothing burger! realDonaldTrump is just an insecure man who must call people names to make himself feel big
Instead of doing actual work, realDonaldTrump is running a Howard Stern radio show that no one would ever pay for...and golfing. FireHisAss
Stop. Reporting. On. Nonsense.
After all, there’s a MADman in the White House.
It's so typical of realDonaldTrump & so tired & infantile of him, attacking someone for their looks. Has he gazed in the mirror? Does he himself as other's see him, as an obese oaf? In contrast, PeteButtigieg is a smart, energetic candidate, a Rhodes scholar & military vet.
I would vote for Alfred E. Newman over trump any day!!!
It also shows DT’s reading level.
Fire whoever decided to post this
Trump is much older than most his age because he will not read or learn by choice!!
Please do not play into this bullshit.
Am I the only one sort of shocked that Trump knows anything about Mad Magazine? I feel like that humor would go right over his head. Maybe he got a kick out of Spy vs Spy?
If it wasn’t BRILLIANT.. you wouldn’t be tweeting about it !! AlfredENeuman PeteButtigieg
Ha!!!! It’s perfect!!
Do better WaPo. Why are acknowledging a petulant child’s need for attention. This is beneath you. PhilipRucker AshleyRParker
Generation gap or not................Bullseye
No way! Have you seen MADmagazine Twitter? Totally relevant...and hilarious! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Trump's nickname for Buttigieg fell flat because old man Trump is from another generation! Buttigieg doesn't even know who Alfred E. Neumann is. Jokes on Trump.
Fuck off with this shit
Newman
The richest man's hobby is really reaching now. I'm barely older than Pete and I knew who Alfred E. Neuman was. Surprisingly I wasn't born until decades after 'I Love Lucy' was taken off the air yet I still know about it. What nonsense.
Alfred E. Neuman, the character, would be a better president than what we currently have.
Too much time on his hands. Doesn't he have president stuff to do?
Trump is just an old fart.
ALFRED & “FREDO”
What!! Millennials have now sense of humor? NO!!!!
DerangedDonald
Why are you giving this space?
That thing looks like the thumbnail face for that old “MAD” tv show.
'Is this news'
RussianAsset PutinsPuppet SaturdayMorning
I think now all Americans are against Trump and millennials and old people and young people and military and liberals)
The excuse-making for Mayor Pete not knowing Mad Magazine or Alfred E. Neuman is the funniest aspect of all of this. It's not that big of a deal, but it is weird. It's not 'generational', because it's not that obscure of a reference.
SO MATURE BECAUSE THATS WHAT GROWN MEN LEADERS LIKE OURS DO😡 lets be juvenile and make fun of ppls looks, countries, disabilities, weight, gender, status and race 🤦🏽♂️
Generation gap Trump is hilarious 😆 and awesome 😎
It shows the lack of class and maturity of trump. His statement says EVERYTHING about him, not Buttigieg. It is SAD when the candidate running for President is more presidential than the president himself. (Lack of capitalizations are intentional.)

There you go again with giving Trump attention, what is with you all?
In a battle of jokes about personal appearance, Trump is not going to come out best.
Shows lack of culture in today's generation.
Let's not normalize Trump's juvenile behavior.
SO.....back to the high-school name calling game.....another couple years of this juvenile...
Nobody is gonna vote for somebody somehow more centrist than Obama lol
Stop talking about this! This isn’t news.
Lame Tweet.
You don't have anything else to write about?
It also shows that if that is the biggest takeaway from an interview with Trump, this presidency, the press, or both is more garbage than initially thought.
Trump may be sorry he mentioned MAD Mag; their humor is great, even back in 1990 they had him pegged as a con man.
Hey, y'all this is not really news. It's just helping the president act like a 4th grader. Why do you keep acting like this behavior is normal? Why are you amplifying it? Seriously? If this is 'news' we are so effed...
But it is still funny. Media is overthinking this, as usual. It is making the younger generation look it up, though. And remember the gap when media compares everything to Watergate.
Or a sheltered life.
Coming from this guy...
FOR FUCKS SAKE, STOP AMPLIFYING THIS!!!!
MAD magazine is probably the only thing DJT read as a kid.
It’s spot-on though
