Given how worked up President Donald Trump gets over being satirized on "Saturday Night Live," he really should avert his eyes from New Orleans until Carnival's over. Already, the opening acts of the season have aimed much of their comedic energy straight at the new guy in the White House.

The typically bawdy Krewe du Vieux parade earlier this month portrayed Trump in all sorts of compromising, or compromised, positions. Some can't be described on a family web site, but a PG-rated float featuring Trump as a grotesque Jabba the Hutt, with Lady Liberty in the role of the enslaved Princess Leia, pretty much set the mood.

This past Saturday, 'tit Rex, the krewe featuring elaborately crafted miniature floats, chimed in with a number of takes on Trump, all loosely connected to the parade's theme, 'tit Rex Takes a Nap.

They pretty much all featured the current administration as the stuff of nightmares. One float was based on the painting, "The Scream." Another pictured an addition to the White House, a golden tower emblazoned with both Trump's name and a red, white and blue hammer and sickle. A third featured an orange dinosaur astride the White House. There were more, but you get the gist.

None of this should shock anyone, given that New Orleans is a blue island in a red state, but that doesn't mean some of the less edgy parades won't get into the act. I've seen at least two Trump floats that are set to roll in the bigger parades this coming week, and they surely won't be the only ones.

Carnival season is still gearing up, but already one thing is clear: This would have been a good year to invest in companies that sell orange paint.
