The term "Destroyer" was coined by St. Francis of Assisi in his deathbed prophecy to his fratres.
The term "Clown" is just being nice.
The Destroyer Clown loves to bow
down to the enemies of Christ
I would suggest printing this image out and hanging it on your bathroom mirror, so you don't forget who whom he's offending.

It seems to me we do more damage than good by scandalizing the children of God when we mock the Pope.
.
If we really want to believe he's the Pontiff, we ought to be respectful of his office, and if we are, it becomes much more challenging to criticize the man who occupies it!
.
I am reminded of Catholic priests who suffered under the heel of Communism, especially in China, and what they had to say about Communism in the Church. Their advice is not to worry about what Communists do and not to go around criticizing them and attacking their bad deeds. They say the best thing we can do is to practice our Faith, be good Catholics, pray and offer sacrifice and penance for the conversion of Communists.
.
We can always reference what Our Lord did, in the Gospels. He did not make criticism of the Pharisees his daily topic of concern. He did not go around lambasting their hypocrisy and evil acts. Sure, there were times when He made it clear what the Scribes and Pharisees were all about and how evil were their ways, but those were rare occasions. Remember, He could read the thoughts of their hearts (and we cannot!).
.
Think of Our Lord in His Passion -- did He embarrass Pontius Pilate by informing him of what he was hiding in his heart? He could have. Did He lay it out in lavender when the High Priest accused him of "blasphemy" and tore his garments? He could have. Did He put Herod in his place when that pervert demanded that Our Lord perform a miracle to entertain him like his magicians? He could have.
.
But He did not. He saved the personal revelation of malefactors' sins for the time He wrote in the sand when they were about to stone the woman caught in adultery.
Talk about self-control!!.
Imagine the self-control we would have to exercise if we could read the sinful intentions of our enemies and yet refrain from incessantly calling them out on their malevolent desires. God prevents us from having this power for our own good!
.
When we criticize the Pope as if it's some kind of sport we end up competing with each other and it becomes a feeding frenzy. Imagine being a Protestant who wants to convert to the One True Church and then you hear Catholics bad-mouthing their own Pope daily as if it's fun or something. Would you want to have any part of that scene?
.
They'll know you are Christians by the charity you show toward each other.
.
Think about that.
