30. Trump does not understand comedy

Sat Nov 1, 2025, 06:39 PM

Nov 1

Trump is a rather humorless person.

Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm did a segment where he wore a MAGA hat in LA to get out of certain social situations. Trump like it; not realizing it was satire.

Authoritarians go after comedians because they do not like to be the object of ridicule.

Sometimes, comedians are able to predict the future as The Simpsons.
There was an episode where Homer Simpson was both mimicking Trump and Mussolini in Italy.
This was years before Trump did any of his political rallies.
