Mad Magazine Mocks Buttigieg: 'Who's Buttigieg? Must Be A Generational Thing'

    President Donald Trump compared gay Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg to the Mad Magazine character Alfred E. Neuman during an interview with Politico on Friday.

     "Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president of the United States," Trump said. When questioned by reporters, Buttigieg said he "had to Google" to find out who the character is.

​    "I’ll be honest, I had to Google that, I guess it’s a generational thing, I didn’t get the reference," Buttigieg said.

     "It’s kind of funny I guess, but he’s also the president of the United States and I’m surprised he’s not spending more time trying to salvage this China deal," Buttigieg added.
