Trump is convinced making fun of him is “illegal”.
Say what you will about medieval monarchies, but at least those had the good sense to permit a court jester to speak foolishly of the head of state.
The White House Correspondent’s Dinner used to serve this purpose, with a headline speaker gently roasting the President and staff (or not-so-gently, as was the case when they had Stephen Colbert host for George W. Bush and he spent half an hour viciously mocking Bush directly to his face).
The Correspondent’s Dinner was neutered when Trump came into office. Not only can Trump not stand being the butt of even the most mild joke, but Seth Meyers’ jokes about Trump at one of Obama’s dinners are the root cause of why he hates him so much, and his go-to response is to destroy anything even vaguely associated with whatever humiliates him.
Man, Trump was fuming.
I’ve never really seen Pedonald genuinely laugh at something.
His former long-time friends such as Michael Cohen say he doesn’t have a sense of humor. At all.
Which makes it all the more galling when every insane thing he says is laughed off as “just a joke” - he means every word.
Isn’t it weird how people like Pedonald cannot just, uh, change the channel?
They don’t want anyone else to have the option of watching the show.
I remember how much the cons pretended to care about this so-called “cancel culture” they were going on and on about, but never had any actual evidence for?
Along with every single thing a Republican has ever accused anyone else of doing. It is simple projection, they want to be able to to do it themselves.
That combined with the reality that they are literally incapable of doing it themselves, infuriates them.
They’re so bad at anything creative, let alone comedic. They would need North Korea level control and threaten the families of actually funny people to coerce them, in order to even come close.
