There are other circuses they can work for after Ringling Brothers folds. There are: The Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus (Ringling’s long-time rival). Cirque de Soleil (Circus of the Sun) from Canada. The UniverSouL Circus (founded by African-Americans, but its’s multi-cultural). As well as many Fairs and Carnivals. Also they can get jobs as birthday and rodeo clowns. Who needs Washington?
The end of the Ringling circus doesn’t mean the end of circus completely. The small travelling shows still perform under the big top. The truly ironic thing is that PETA managed to close down the Ringling show, and they were the best at the care of their animals. There is far more likely to be animal abuse in a small, cheaply run show.
“Government” employees get into it for what they can do FOR the people and the country. Politicians get into it for what they can do TO the people and country. (For their corporate buddies!)

Sean Spicer & Kellyanne Conway being excellent examples of clowns as spokesmen.

The only one there with a reason to be happy is the bartender. Four years of good business and bad livers.

Trump keeps having to replace cabinet members, so there are always openings.

The difference between the government and McDonald’s is that only one clown is running McDonald’s.

Competition was too fierce for Ringling Brothers since a rival circus established a permanent home in D.C.

Wash. D.C. politics had always been a three ring circus – no matter who was in charge.
I’m reminded though of the last lines from the song Send In The Clowns:
“….so send in the clowns.
Don’t bother. They’re here ! "

Tweeter-in-chief doesn’t seem to need spokespeople. Maybe he could fire them and reduce wasted spending.

There is one normal feature seen in DC, i.e., there is never a shortage of clowns, regardless of who is the ringmaster.
