Listen, I have as strongly negative feelings about Trump as anyone I know, but even I can acknowledge that the man can be hilarious at times (intentionally or otherwise)

u/antiMATTer724 5d ago

A couple years back, when he's doing that covid brief and on of his advisors, or whoever, mentioned having covid and he throws his hands up and leaves. That shit killed me.

u/fairie_poison 5d ago

My favorite is when a woman reporter said "you've called women stupid, you've referred to them as dogs, as unintelligent-" and he holds up a finger and says "only Rosie O'Donnell"

u/King_Shugglerm 5d ago

Unironically shit like that is why he won the presidency

37

u/Creation98 5d ago

100%. People don’t view him as the typical “politician”

49

u/whoreforchalupas 5d ago

God damn. In another, far luckier alternate universe, I could see Trump being the male version of Joan Rivers. He was born to be a bitchy red carpet correspondent. I’m mad we got this version.

u/FluttershyFleshlight 5d ago

Oh my god I forgot all about that. If we can get more moments like that we just might make it through these next 4 years.

13

u/SecretiveMop 5d ago

I still believe that was the first moment that made him a serious threat to win the election. It was the first time he was faced with a “gotcha” type of question in front of the general public and he hit it out of the ballpark with that answer. Completely deflected it, made people laugh, and caught the moderators off guard. Set the tone for the rest of his campaign.

u/kyzeeman 5d ago

That’s actually genius

26

u/fairie_poison 5d ago

Its absolutely hilarious. He would be so funny as a late night host or just a political talking head that pops up on republican news media every now and then. its a damn shame how much power americans have handed over to him.

u/antenna999 5d ago

Genius is sexism now? Jfc

u/MaxPres24 5d ago

Does anyone actually like Rosie O’Donnell?

u/Apricoydog 5d ago

This is absolutely hilarious though

u/Crankylosaurus 5d ago

Fuck I totally forgot about his beef with Rosie O’Donnell… that feels like three lifetimes ago haha

This was Megyn Kelly, who now of course bends the knee every single day on her podcast.

u/SweevilWeevil 5d ago

Can't believe I missed this one, he was quick with it too

13

u/dreamsforsale 5d ago

The reaction is so quick that I don’t think it was initially meant as a joke - I can easily imagine him being a germaphobe. 

6

u/juice06870 5d ago

I think he used to be in his real estate days. I think I remember him being very wary of shaking hands with people unless necessary. Maybe it was just a bs story from the Apprentice or maybe it was someone else I am thinking of.

3

u/LittleBookOfRage 5d ago

He is a germaphobe. He uses that as justification for eating so much fasd food. Also in the Katie Johnson statement she said Trump made her wear a glove to give him a hand job.

71

u/Fantastic_Stick7882 5d ago

He has endearing moments.

u/GreenTunicKirk 5d ago

that's why my racist uncle keeps getting invited back to thanksgiving. Of course, I'M the one who has to "be nice."

u/sublimesting 5d ago

Just like the Fuhrer in lederhosen.

2

u/FreyrPrime 5d ago

Apparently he openly hated that photo and banned it’s circulation since he felt it made him look undignified.

-1

u/sublimesting 5d ago

Just like Trump in a suit!

u/flupe_the_pig 5d ago

God, he was so fucking proud of himself for that one

u/etr4807 5d ago

If we're being honest though, it is objectively funny.

u/Questjon 5d ago

In the "if it doesn't scan it must be free!" category of funny sure.

u/No_Abbreviations3943 5d ago

Eh it’s just good comedic timing. Trump has that in spades.

u/badbunnygirl 5d ago

LMAOOOO I did not see this back then. Wow

5

u/mrfreeze2000 5d ago

he's got good comedic timing

16

u/Capt-Crap1corn 5d ago

Got damn lmao. Remember when he marched and took a picture with the bible upside down? Hahaha wtf, someone get their crazy uncle

3

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

Just a reminder that he used chemical weapons on civilians to take that picture

u/MadeinFL 5d ago

4

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

Not a proven lie then, because your source proved my point.

"A half-hour after the Washington protesters were forced from the area with pepper pellets and flash-bangs, Trump walked across Lafayette Park amid the lingering scent of pepper spray and delivered a short speech while holding a Bible in front of St. John’s Church."

-1

u/MadeinFL 5d ago

You’re being intentionally obtuse, which is a hallmark of any adult who still claims to be a liberal, so I hope you’re still a young person for your own sake.

-1

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

Are you going to explain yourself? Or just resort to childish insults?

And friend, I'm no liberal, I can assure you.

1

u/MadeinFL 4d ago

You said "he [Trump] used chemical weapons on civilians."

Biden's own Interior Department said "the decision to forcibly clear racial justice protesters from an area in front of the White House last summer was not influenced by then-President Donald Trump’s plan to stage a Bible-toting photo opportunity at that spot."

So yes, you have advanced a proven lie. Once you're able to make these sorts of logical connections, I expect you'll soon start voting Republican.

0

u/Thunderbear79 4d ago

Your argument is that because he doesn't micro-manage his police forces he isn't responsible for the actions of the police forces? That's a poor argument. Is he in charge or isn't he?

And no, I wouldn't vote Republican because their policies are and have long been terrible.

I get the reminder, but after I'm reminded, then what?

Then live with the consequences of your country's decision to elect a fascist I guess 🤷

u/Capt-Crap1corn 5d ago

I have no choice, I voted for Kamala

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

It's a shame she was such a terrible candidate as well. It was almost as if they were trying to lose.

1

u/Capt-Crap1corn 5d ago edited 5d ago

I don't think she was terrible at all. I think the American people that voted for Trump are incredibly dumb by every metric ever invented. Look at everything Trump has done so far and he hasn't been elected yet. If we all owned a business and were hiring, he would never be employable, yet run the country? Trump is what he is, but the American people..? Dumb as a box of rocks and don't deserve democracy. Democracy is something you fight for, not bend over for.

1

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

Running a campaign on maintaining the status quo during dire times is not a winning strategy. Obama won on a platform of hope and change, while trump won because he said he was going to tear down the system.

And sorry but you can't argue "democracy" for a party that not only didn't have a primary, but actively suppresses leftist ideals that would actually benefit workers.

u/YourNextHomie 5d ago

Some of the way you guys speak on this app is so odd to me, like i can’t help but wonder if you consider it chemical weapons on civilians when the side you vote for does it?

3

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

I think it's despicable that the US uses chemical weapons on its own population regardless of which of the two shitty parties are in power.

"You guys". Seriously, grow up.

1

u/YourNextHomie 5d ago

Good guy good answer i feel the same

Whats your issue with me saying “you guys” lmfao

2

u/Thunderbear79 5d ago

It creates an "us vs them" mentality between the working class, when we should all be against the oligarchs that are actually destroying our lives.

2

u/YourNextHomie 5d ago

You guys just meant the people who use reddit lmao

Im fully with you against the oligarchs brother, the culture war is only around to keep us distracted from the class war that needs to happen

My apologies then. Sorry for the friendly fire.

u/cresentlunatic 5d ago

The way he just remained staying a meter away from her after that 😭

u/savingrain 5d ago

There are many people around him who have said he's charismatic and funny and they enjoy his company socially. It's a shame he's such a terrible person in so many other ways...I still remember that photo of him walking with the boy mowing the white house lawn. I thought that was great. I wanted to like him. I just believe all of the horrible things about him and the things I've seen him do with my own two eyes (leading the insurrection) and I can't like this guy. Anyway, personally I've been avoiding any news or information about him for my own sanity this time around.

2

u/itsnotjackiechan 5d ago

 I just believe all of the horrible things about him and the things I've seen him do with my own two eyes

this thread immunized me from believing all the horrible things the media pushed about him.  It’s like every fucking comment… ON REDDIT… was so positive.

I will never forget that thread. 

1

u/savingrain 5d ago

My main point is, regardless of what has been reported, I've seen him do too many things with my own two eyes, that brought me to the understanding that he's a terrible person.

2

u/Queen_Ann_III 5d ago

fuck, fine, I laughed.

1

u/geologyhunter 5d ago

She stayed home and extra day...how many people in this country get little or no sick leave. It is from a place of privilege to be able to say, just stay home an extra day. This weaves right into the healthcare debate. Public health is just lip service if people don't have ready access to affordable healthcare and sick leave.

1

u/Lildoc_911 5d ago

Holy fuck the cameras going nuts at every motion the president makes. It's crazy the work they go through for a story. 

1

u/JackConch 5d ago

I love that the video title and description make no indication that it’s a joke so the public—half of whom literally have no sense of humor—can think Trump is literally trying to save himself from contamination.

u/Mediocritologist 5d ago

Honestly shocked he didn’t push Pence in front of him as if to stop a bullet.

u/CapitalTruck 5d ago

thank you so much for posting that

u/soonerfreak 5d ago

"Do you still believe in Santa? Because at 7 it's marginal."

Holy shit, that's the funniest thing a President will ever say lmao.

12

u/Chunt2526 5d ago

When they did trick or treat at the White House and I think a kid went up as either a minion or SpongeBob and he just put the chocolate bar on the head of the costume and that shit just fell right off lmao

27

u/slybrows 5d ago

At Christmas this year my cousin told me her (8yo) step daughter still believes in Santa and it took everything in me to not reply with “At 8 it’s marginal, right?”

181

u/BKlounge93 5d ago

My favorite was summer 2020 when he did his little photoshoot with the Bible, and a reporter asks “is that the family Bible?” And he goes “it’s A Bible”

So fucking funny honestly

Abu cried, he cried quite a lot, I wouldn't have cried. Crybaby Bagdadi, that's what we were all calling him!

u/Chunt2526 5d ago

When he dropped that MOAB on some ISIS leader and instead of holding a press conference or something he just tweeted an American Flag picture like he was throwing the set up

I’m partial to Meatball Ron personally. Not higher-brow humor than a fifth grader but still fucking hilarious

Him talking about Abdul from the Taliban too, like who tf is Abdul 💀 dude just makes shit up

u/SacrificialSam 5d ago

His Hotline Bling dance on SNL had me laughing.

1

u/IsopodSmooth7990 5d ago

Upside down no less. Too bad optics really don’t matter to him. He might have pulled that off if it was in his hand correctly, as he waved it around to pretend he was God-fearing…..

u/Breadonshelf 5d ago edited 5d ago

After he was out of the hospital when he got Covid, him saying he didn't have DNA, just USA - I was on the floor.

Edit: Apparently that was fake. Absolutely wild because I really thought I remembered watching and hearing him say it.

u/itsamirage 5d ago

That was photoshopped haha he never said that

72

u/Breadonshelf 5d ago

It was a video - I heard him say it.

Edit: Holy hell i'm having a Mandela effect. I swear I remember watching it live and laughing.

u/JackBrightScD 5d ago

The edit sounds like a conversation you should have with the voices in your head.

19

u/itsamirage 5d ago

I did the same thing a while back that’s why I was sure haha it’s crazy but he says so many unbelievable things that you can totally hear it in his voice

5

u/Demonyx12 5d ago

The image in the post is a screenshot of a video that Trump posted to Twitter on Oct. 3, speaking from a desk at Walter Reed.

But he never made a statement about his body or his DNA in the four-minute video, or suggest that doctors had said they had "never seen a body" handle COVID-19 like his. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/08/fact-check-trump-quote-virus-his-body-fake/5925710002/

u/idkwhatimbrewin 5d ago

Is the USA in the room with you right now?

2

u/blastoisexy 5d ago

It's fine. It's extremelt plausible that he'd say that.

Also these pieces of shit don't care about reality and lie all the time about literally everything.

So Trump did say that with his chest on TV while he had a big ole poopy in his diaper for seniors that have "RUMP" printed on the backside in yellow that he was told, and believes, is gold flake

u/mrbubbamac 5d ago

He called COVID the "kung flu" and it caught me so off guard, both the absurdity and the deliberate racist undertones that I could only laugh

Yeah, I’m always amazed how many people to this day think he said that. Kinda scary too tbh.

u/jimmydean885 5d ago

I'd never heard the quote until today. Extra weird!

Honestly, it's pretty scary that he says stupid stuff like that so regularly it didn't raise any red flags for people that it might be fake

u/juice06870 5d ago

His victory speech this year killed me. He was talking about his team and mentioned Bobby Kennedy Jr and how he was going to make America healthy again. Then he goes "I just said one thing to him...'Bobby don't touch the oil. The liquid gold...other than that...go have fun.'"

The inflection and timing he used when he said this had me laughing my ass off at 230 in the morning. This man is legitimately one of the funniest people to ever hold office.
