Ain't it grand to have a POTUS with a sense of humor?

[vlyons]

Unlike TFG, who only has a sense of entitlement and ill-will.

[raccoon]

1. Come to think of it, I don't remember hearing of TFG

Making A good natured, real joke. All that comes out of him is Snark and insults.

[Delphinus]

3. I think

you are correct.

[Javaman]

5. People with Narcissistic behavior patterns

Are incapable of real humor

It’s usually cruel humor at the expense of others to make them selves look better, the hero or to malign

[tanyev]

10. Yep. Those are the only things Trump thinks are funny.

The best humor (IMO) is when people are willing to make fun of themselves and Trump will never, ever be able to do that.

[Lunabell]

2. Joe's a good man and a regular guy.

That's one of the many reasons I like him. A normal working class guy who really did pull himself up by his bootstraps. No silver spoon. He's one of us. Like President Obama. Just a regular dude.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Not to mention, his sulking when Obama joked about him!

No sense of humor at all! Joe Biden joked about himself!

[malaise]

14. If you can't laugh at yourself

Life is boring

6. His first joke line...

Was fantastic, caught everyone off guard, it was pure comedic gold! After ranting about the 1A, he slips right into his first joke about his friend "Jimmy Madison". He has a great sense of humor and a great sense of timing.

[nolabear]

21. That comedic turn from a serious speech was top level.

Those things can be awkward and he just aced it. You can’t fake that.

[2naSalit]

22. And he's had it for a long time.

He has just been underrated for a long time. It's good that he is as "with it" as he is and enjoying it. I love that part. He's a Scorpio, he will never be given the credit due for his many achievements. Trust me, it's the plight of Scorpios, to make major gains that nobody seems to notice.

[The Jungle 1]

7. Ya have to admit orange boy thinks bullying is funny.

He is sick.

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. As are the people that vote for him

and show up to his worthless rallies.

[bdamomma]

16. and taking his revenge

out on people, he's a real thug that's all. He has mental issues.

[niyad]

9. It is wonderful.

[heckles65]

11. I'm grateful for a President

who just does his %*&%$_g job.

[betsuni]

12. Trump was never a real president.

[malaise]

13. He was excellent

15. President Biden

was good, he had me laughing.

[dembotoz]

17. trump made fun of folks...that was his sense of humor

offensive yes, but we were not the audience he played to

[Srkdqltr]

18. He didn't have a sense of humor. A lot of Republicans don't.

They are the joke??

19. There's a reason why the best musicians, artists, actors, comedians, etc are liberal in nature

There’s a reason why the best musicians, artists, actors, comedians, etc are liberal in nature

Esp in comedy. Coming from an authoritarian position, it always is based on denigration and mockery in its vilest of forms. Jokes based upon a person’s looks, disabilities, struggles, etc when coming from a person in a position of privilege or power will never be funny. It’s the most vulgar form of expression.

When comedy does work, it’s from a position of the underdog or self-deprecation. That’s why a struggling comedian making jokes about their hardships works. Or mocking a corporate fat cat or politician works.

This is why people like Limbaugh who think they’re cracking jokes are actually the most vile of people. Racist jokes based on denigrating a group of people will never be funny (eg Limbaugh’s ‘Barack the magic negro’ song he sang on his hate radio show)

The greatest poetry and lyrics were written from positions of struggle and strife, not privilege and power

Empathy is an estimable aspect.
