The 2016 clown sightings were reports of innocent clowns in incongruous settings, such as near forests and schools.

The clowns were just having fun doing their clown things, such as supporting Trump or Hillary when they were photographed without their permission, causing mass hysteria over their intentions. It was the biggest mass invasion of clown privacy since those meddling kids from Derry, Maine stalked a clown for having a hearty meal of kids in 1960.

Clowns are hugely misunderstood people and enjoy entertaining people they see, either through slapstick comedy or releasing laughing gas in near-fatal amounts. The 2016 clown sightings has shown that the world does not deserve the dedicated and hardworking aptitude of clowns in their society.
