38. I've never heard him tell a joke either

Every time I hear him talk it is a string of insults, one or two word declarations and some generally incoherent word salad.

I'm generally a very humor-driven person; a wise-cracking class clown type who can find funny in almost anything. Humorless people are immediately obvious to me and I do my best to avoid contact with them.

Tump's speaking style is extraordinarily simple, and i think the linguistic structure of even the most basic joke is too complex for him.
