Can you imagine anyone trying to give dt laugh lines?

He has never done it (the show) because he doesn't know how. All he knows is how to be offended, except when he's doing the offending.

And p.s., this thought was generated from a Comey comment: Mr. Comey thinks dt is a poorer man for not having a sense of humor.

Even a tiny bit will do. Trump doesn't seem to be able to manage that, except accidentally by trial-and-error shots in the dark.

Almost every time he encounters a situation without a tried-and-true down-pat response he defaults to attributing to other parties thoughts/motivations that sound suspiciously like what his own seem to be. He does not account for the existence of an internal life of another person which deviates from his own.
