‘Packaging evil into something funny’: is making fun of Trump now just ‘clownwashing’? As the president’s second term has wrought new horrors, comedians reflect on whether humor can still ‘deflate the strongman’s image

Yup. SNL thinks they’re being witty but they’re trivializing the downfall of our democracy as if laughing at it has any impact. It only minimizes the situation when what we really need is exactly the opposite so that we can empower everyone to take action, protest, and come out and vote.

I've been saying for a little more than a year now that the time for humor has passed.

Norm McDonald called it low hanging fruit pretty early on.

We need to confront the reality that if he didn't appear stupid, he would be very obviously treasonous. There is not an aspect of America he has not weakened, from disaster and pandemic preparedness, to foreign relations, to education.  Don't ignore his financial, foreign, and criminal conflicts of interest just because he's a clown. He isn't serving the country. He is dismantling it for whoever shows him money or blackmail.

Yeah, he should be the opposite of a joke. He should be a Jason Voorhees who rampages through sketches ruining everyone’s good time.

All politicians are made fun of but this guy is literally a walking parody and f****** the country, like he cares he has maybe 3 years left.

Sadly, nobody laughs at Trump jokes. You have to be able to breathe in order to laugh...

The man has the thinnest skin possible. The smallest perceived slight will set him off on another insane social media rant. If you’ve got an audience and you’re trying to mock him but he doesn’t care then you’re doing something wrong.

Obviously not.   Everything is a joke now instead of actual repercussions....it's why I stopped watching John Oliver.....half of the shit he shows is crazy and frightening not funny at all
