I really hate Trump and it feels weird to defend him, but i think everyone is freaking out over what is the closest thing to a witticism that Trump has ever uttered. He’s stupid and has low self-awareness; however, this sounds like a facetious comment - possibly tinged with self-deprecation. Am i giving him too much credit?
I understand where you’re coming from, but you are giving Trump way too much credit. Aside from all of his “I was only joking” non-apologies after making some horrendous and unforgivable statement, the only kind of humor he has ever attempted is to make fun of the misfortunes of others. Seriously, look at his history.
It is a joke. It’s just easier to make the opponent be “the dumb guy” 100% of the time. I see an article “slamming” him every two weeks for something that is an obvious joke. Like, fuck him, we don’t need to manufacture outrage where there is none to be had, there’s plenty to go around where he actually does outrageous shit and deserves to be called out. Only cheapens the message.

Yeah, Trump and self-deprecation don’t exist together.

I haven’t read the article at all but I’m going to say yes
Most people are, about anything but being a shitbird, which he excels at
