I’d like to see Biden challenge Trump to a hundred yard run,
and also see who can benchpress the most.

Dolt 45 is the reason the word MUNT was coined.

His egomania doesn’t allow for self-deprecation or even mild good humor. He’s never funny, he’s just mean.

Unlike a certain predecessor…

They should have left this “material” on the cutting room floor, then burned it, put the ashes in a container and send it off into the deepest recesses of outer space. And hope no life -intelligent or not- ever saw it.

If Hair Furor went with Biden behind a barn, I’d hope Biden wasn’t wearing his good shoes, because he’d kick the shit out of the wanna-be, preppy loser.

And as to Rep. Waters, that’s big talk for someone who couldn’t think his way out of a paper sack.

Donald misunderstood. He thought they said “self-deprecating.” It was really “self-defecating,” and that’s what he delivered.

Too bad Melania wasn’t allowed to say her response to Trump’s question about whether she will be the next one to leave.
It read: "Donald, I am not cheap. You can’t get rid of my for $130,000. Try $130 million, plus our gorgeous penthouse apartment and full custody rights for Barron. Guys, the only reason he won’t take the deal is that $130 million is more than his net worth. Gofundme?

Ah, the comedy stylings of Tweety Amin.

“I like turnover. I like chaos,” Mr. Trump said. “It really is good. Who is going to be the next to leave? Steve Miller or Melania?”

At that point, he looked out to his wife and asked whether she still loved him.

Anybody want to bet she didn’t answer?

A couple of those lines were actually funny. The one about how Jared can’t get through security and hey I’m the most self-deprecating guy, no one is more self-deprecating, no one.

Which is weird, I’ve never once heard him deliver a joke that wasn’t just painfully awkward and unfunny. He probably ruined them in the delivery though.

Yahoo News’ Hunter Walker was the assigned print pool reporter for the event. He shared a transcript of Trump’s remarks with TPM in an email and noted: “As per tradition, the overall tone was joking and the transcript includes breaks for laughter.”

Dump was about as funny as a fart in a spacesuit.

Mel Brooks he ain’t.

Maybe this stuff works with his base? After all, they don’t ever seem to be in good humor. And I can’t recall a decent conservative comedian at all. Only one who comes to mind is Dennis Miller, who lost his edge when he went to the dark side. And is rarely heard from these days.

And so is the fine line between tragedy and comedy brought into sharp relief. “President Trump” should be a punchline, not a line in an introduction of this man.

He’s not even Foster Brooks.

… and then slowly turned it. Twisting, twisting. Ever. So. Slowly.

Does sign language count? :-1:

I wonder if he ad-libbed that line about the “IQ test”? It’s grossly offensive, racist, and in no way funny. Just mean and nasty, like the man himself.

I mean, I know it’s Trump, but there had to have been a process, no? Someone has to write that line thinking it was funny. Then it had to go through rehearsals in front of staff members or a small audience of some kind, and they’d all have to think it was good. Now, unless the audience was Steven Miller, John Kelly, and Steve Bannon, I don’t get it.

Is this what happens when there’s no Hope Hicks, Rob Porter, or Jarvanka around?
