The plea of “I was only joking” is a total sham masking actual corrupt intent. It is getting awfully tiring.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope … just kidding!” [rim shot]
Don’t quit your day job, Donnie. Wait … on second thought … this is the rare case where that would actually solve everything.
Ha ha! That guy is such a jokester! 
He’s so playful and wry, barely a day goes by where he doesn’t lighten the national mood. Long after his term is finished, mirth will truly be his everlasting legacy.
Trump should die thrashing in a rapidly expanding puddle of his own puked blood. Ha, ha, just kidding.
Response: We need a POTUS who takes his job seriously. Obviously this one doesn’t.
Rethugs are suddenly humorous lately!
FFS No one enjoys your “jokes” so keep them to yourselves. Or better yet, everyone should start NOT taking you seriously!
The leaden trial balloon didn’t float. Who’d of thunk?
I feel the same about his claims that he is the president. Just kidding! Psyche! Yep, he got us alright!
“Kidding”, “Joking” Whatever.
THE WHOLE F-ING POINT IS THAT HE SAID IT. HE SAID IT!
SAYING IT IS THE WHOLE F-ING POINT OF IT.
PERIOD!
PERIOD!
HAIR ON FIRE PERIOD!
He said it as: That’s the whole purpose of his lying. Fight Transgress, facts-be-damned. The base wants it. They hear this on Pig Limbaugh everyday for 30 years. That is the evil genius of this cancer. The media keeps saying he lied he lied as if he will stop. But the whole point is to lie.
I’m good with Trump being president-for-life so long as he dies before noon today.
Such a clown 
Trump should have an extra two years added to his ‘sentence’ …
One of the hallmarks of Post-Modern Conservatism is the disingenuous use of ‘just joking’ to cover for their actual beliefs when they get backlash.
Just wait until November of 2020 when he declares without evidence that millions of “illegals” voted and that the election was invalid! That will be a scream, for sure…
Typical Trump.
- Tweet (or re-tweet) something outrageously Anti-American.
- Carefully watch the reactions to see if it floats.
- If it is positively received, claim it was all your idea and double-down.
- If it is negatively received, claim it was all “a Joke”.
- Rise, Repeat.
The grade school bully who demanded your lunch money, got caught and then said he was just kidding?
He’s president.
We’re not powerless here. Democrats can make this a huge issue. They should be calling all their media contacts right now saying that Trump is seeking to extend his presidency illegally. If Obama had said anything like this, “tyranny” would be the #1 story in the land.
Republicans disgust me. Democrats make me despair.
I was going to say I would support an extension to another form of federal accommodations for Trump.
