People that think Trump is funny bewilder me. He's an idiot with the wit of a turnip.

You're supposed to be laughing at him, not with him.

Maybe he should have gone full trump and done the accent as well?

If he went completely bat####, like doing an accent and giving himself fake slanted eyes, then it could genuinely be funny in a very dark comedy kind of way. Especially since she surely would have taken it without objection.

But, bland and predictable can also be kind of funny to some.

Remember when you surprised attacked us and killed a bunch of sailors, then we fire bombed and nuked your population into surrender? Fun times.

You can always save that fact for the judge, should it ever be required.

And honestly, the ability for the U.S. and Japan to joke about Pearl Harbor today is a sign of progress, not disrespect. It happened over 80 years ago. Maybe it just comes down to different senses of humour.

Sometimes things can just be… mildly funny without needing a moral autopsy.

I mean, I guess that would be the same and as funny as if Trump joked to the German chancellor about gas chambers.

That’s not really the same thing. It was a question about informing on an attack responded to with an example of a well known surprise attack.

What you’re describing is just invoking atrocities for shock value with no connection to the question, escalating my point to the most extreme comparison. That’s not what was said...it was a one-line reference, not a full WWII recap.

If Trump ever meets with the Vietnamese leader, dude HAS to mock Donnie about how that war ended.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Anyway, the value or quality of the humor of what he said is getting a little side tracked from the reality of America right now: A child rapist is actively pushing the world towards an economic depression and a more nuclear armed world cause he's the worst President in American history and one of the very worst leaders in human history. His dementia side quests should be ignored.

Whether it was a joke in good taste or not is pretty much irrelevant, it is a glaring example of how unfit and unserious the dotard is for any office, maybe in private when the camaras are off two leaders that know each other may make an off colour joke but this is just your senile racist drunken uncle embarrassing the whole family at thanksgiving dinner

LOL I always do

[trackercowe]

Me personally I could never find a rapist, pedophile, felon funny... Trump could channel Mitch Hedberg and I wouldn't find him funny. There's a few situations that I'd find funny .. too bad he won't find our what prison is like for pedophiles. That would be a fitting end for that tub of lard.

There’s always a tweet with this clown.

Fair enough. Maybe a more appropriate one would be if Trump joked to MBS about 9/11?

Would it be funny if it was a question about how the Iran war is leading to skyrocketing prices for natural resources?

You guys must be fun at parties. Just so I'm clear someone said "hah that was funny" and it turned into a Facebook mom pile on? Doesn't take much to get the knives out eh? Smoke a cigarette and relax, it's ok to find humour in the dark.
