Insane Clown President

 * ... that the book Insane Clown President by Matt Taibbi (pictured) was inspired by the Hunter S. Thompson series Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72? Source: Taibbi, Matt (January 17, 2017), "Matt Taibbi's New Book: 'Insane Clown President'", Rolling Stone. Quote: "What made Thompson's work on that 1972 campaign art, as opposed to just snappy periodical writing, was Thompson's obsession with Nixon."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good To Go. Outstanding article of ~18,000 characters. Looks real good and I can give a green tick as it easily quaifies and meets all requirements. Very nice article. Hooks referenced and verified. Commons picture copyright free. QPQ done. I have changed my mind on this minor issue that I don't believe is a DYK requirement anyway. I know it will be solved of a couple of Harv Errors. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:58, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
