2. Funny, but I hope it was all worth it.

We are dealing with a group of thin skinned people here, the faces of a movement that has millions of zealous followers, many who are somewhat less than rational. There could actually be thousands of innocent people who suffer in one degree or another for these funny moments.
We may never truly know the impact of Trump's being roasted and mocked at the 2011 WHCD had to seriously motivate him to run for president.
There are people who can take such roasting in good humor and laugh at themselves, but I don't think that Trump, his administration, or his rabid followers are part of that group. Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.
