Janey Godley obituary: Turning tragedy into comedy - BBC News

The comedian Janey Godley, who chronicled her struggles in unflinching detail, has died after a long illness.

A brilliantly funny woman who told Trump where to head in when he went to visit one of his golf courses. And would show up whenever he tried to make an appearance there. With the same sign. I shared a couple of interactions with her (usually when she showed pictures of her beautiful little sausage dog, Honey) and she was as down to earth as they come.

Today, the hashtag "Trump is a CU in the NT" is making the rounds of Twitter with lots of condolences being paid to her family and friends. Trump probably thought he was safe again with his passing.
