Should have a few good jokes coming off the Stern interview.
Remember that Trump not only chose not to participate in The White House correspondents’ Dinner, but ordered his entire staff and administration not to participate either.
It just speaks to Trump’s fragility and completely contradicts the whole strongman tough guy persona that him and his supporters paint him as.
We know who the real “snowflakes” are, because by comparison, Biden will be attending today’s event and will likely face an onslaught of roasting, particularly around his age, some of which, will probably come from himself. A little self deprecation shows humility.
When we compare these two candidates, the reality of it doesn’t come close to aligning with what Trump’s supporters have continuously tried to illustrate through their insulting and cruel memes/social media commentaries.
What’s interesting about this, is that Trump, along with many of his most ardent conservative supporters think of humor as amounting to the same old “jokes” about pronouns and Biden’s frailty. To them, insults *are* funny, cruelty is funny, which is why some have come to the conclusion that conservatives really aren’t that funny.
