That would perhaps be fine, if it weren't for the fact that jokes about Trump often focus on his appearance and jokes about Brexit are increasingly taking a distinctly violent slant (see the recent cartoons in the New European magazine and widely shared on social media).

Funny how sexism and violence is fine when applied against people you don't like.
