On Saturday it was reported that America lost a national treasure as the original Batman, Adam West, died.
And it took literally minutes for his death to be politicized.
John Ziegler, a columnist for the often left-leaning news website Mediaite, attempted to make a comparison of West’s Batman to President Trump.
But it just looked like a pathetic and weak attempt at humor that fell flat.
Adam West’s Batman was a lot like Trump. Those without fully developed brains took him seriously, while most adults realized it was a joke. https://t.co/tYMczuesNY

In 2015, the original caped crusader, who also played the role of the mayor of the fictional town of Quahog Rhode Island in the “Family Guy” series, sent a tongue-in-cheek tweet to the future president.
After future President Trump told a young boy on the campaign trail that he was Batman, West “thanked” him for removing the “crimefighting weight” from his shoulder.
@realDonaldTrump Thank you for removing that crimefighting weight from my shoulders. #DonaldTrump #Batman
