And god must be wondering how did this happen?

And his cult followers might be saying, “what, he’s not the chosen one!”

Ok, which one is sarcasm?

quote 1: Oh, yeah, guys, I’m TOTALLY the chosen one to fix the economy. That’s why my Super easy to win trade wars with China are REALLY helping farmers, who are definitely NOT going into bankruptcy, because I’m totally a competent, functioning human being with no trace of mental malfunctions.

quote 2: I am your god and you have to vote for me.

Hmmmm…

"It was joking. We were all smiling. And the question like that is just fake news. You’re just a faker.”
That’s definitely what the kings of comedy do when people don’t get their jokes.

Don’t quit your day job, Donnie. Wait … on second thought …

This from a man who wouldn’t know sarcasm or a joke if they came up and bit him on the ankle.

Yeah, no. He also retweeted some guy calling him the “King of Israel”, and has said in the past, “only I can fix it”, and wants to give himself the Medal of Honor. And I almost forgot him roughly jostling the leader of Montenegro at a previous summit.

I don’t believe narcissists use sarcasm when referring to themselves, because they constantly cry out for admiration, affirmation, and validation. If sarcasm is used, it’s pointed outward -often with a barb -not inward.

Someone probably told him how offensive that statement was to rank and file Evangelicals, because, for certain, he had no idea.

Pretty odd, Republicans push unverifiable electronic voting machines all the while they’re changing votes to Democrats. Either Republicans are really really stupid or someone is full of shit. Or both, yes it can be both.

He knows how to be sarcastic and joke? This is big news since this hasn’t been revealed the whole time he’s been in office.

“you know exactly what I meant. It was sarcasm. It was joking. We were all smiling. And the question like that is just fake news…”

Trump doesn’t joke. He doesn’t know how to joke, but Trump most certainly is an joke – an ugly and cruel one.

And, to top it off, he said the following to the reporter asking the question –

“…You’re just a faker”

Besides his cruelty and his incompetence, he also an asshole.

Same ole lie, Republicans always use when they are caught saying something demented, cruel, stupid or racist. Can’t you liberals take a joke?
