5 Beloved Cereal Mascots, And How They Feel About President Trump

We live in a divisive political moment. President Donald Trump sits in the White House as we speak, with many around the country considering him a despicable human being while others still support him and his politics. Political social media posts abound in this day and age, as both liberals and conservatives repeat the commonly held views of their party over and over again, somehow thinking that they are actually saying something new or insightful. Both sides are guilty of this.

We hear a lot about how different people feel about Donald Trump, but there is one group that we rarely hear from, so today, I would like to explain how this specific group of individuals feel about our president.

Who are they? You guessed it, cereal mascots.

Cereal mascots do more than just prance around cereal commercials and appear on cereal boxes. They actually have strong political views, all of which are different, and some of which might surprise you. Here are five cereal mascots and the way they feel about Trump.

1. Captain Crunch

Captain Crunch, the hardcore cereal hero responsible for such delicious breakfast options as Cap'n Crunch and Peanut Butter Crunch cereals, was a former military captain before he retired and decided to spend his life as a cereal character. Because of his fierce military background, it probably does not surprise you that he is a hardcore conservative who fully supports President Trump. No matter what Trump does next, he is sure to always have a supporter in the Captain. Cap'n Crunch has even considered building a wall around his home, in an effort to keep other cereal mascots out.

2. Tony the Tiger

Here is another mascot who generally tends to support Trump. Tony the Tiger, the inspiring tiger who loves Frosted Flakes, doesn't quite think that Trump is great, but he does think that the President has done a fairly good job overall. Tony is a conservative, and although he has taken issues with some of Trump's policies, he will probably still vote for him in 2020.

3. Sonny the Cuckoo Bird

Sonny, who has been going Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs for many, many years now, is not nearly as Cuckoo for President Trump as he is about the delicious chocolate cereal that he advertises. As an independent voter, Sonny does not align with any single political party, and as a result the bird has not paid much attention to politics in recent years. This could also be because once Sonny realized that even Cocoa Puffs could no longer satisfy his needs, he started getting into harder and harder drugs until he finally found himself in rehab for drug addiction. Poor Sonny, he probably wont even vote in the next election.

4. Trix Rabbit

A conservative once said to him "silly rabbit, big government is not the answer." As a liberal voter, the Trix Rabbit disagrees with this statement, almost as much as he disagrees with the fact that Trix are for kids. This rabbit has been a critique of Trump's policies from the very beginning, and his opposition has only grown the longer that Trump has been in office. The Trix rabbit favors many liberal policies, and is very unhappy about Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court.

5. Lucky the Leprechaun

As the mascot for Lucky Charms, Lucky the Leprechaun has become a childhood icon, the ultimate symbol of of one of the most beloved cereals around. Here's a secret though, Lucky is in fact a hardcore liberal. Since he hails from the the socially conservative country of Ireland, you may think that he would hold more conservative ideals, however this is not the case. He is actually one of the most liberal cereal mascots around, and you might even find him at various anti-Trump or anti-gun rallies around the country. He believes that conservatives are ruining the cereal industry, just like the kids are after his lucky charms, as can be seen in various Lucky Charms commercials.

These are the deeply held views held by some of your favorite cereal mascots. We all have different political views, and so do the cereal mascots who parade the boxes that contain what we eat every morning for breakfast. However, don't let their politics affect your breakfast choices. Even if you disagree with them politically, you can still eat their cereals.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
