Donald Trump does not do humor.

[kentuck]

He is scheduled to be at the Al Smith Dinner tonight in New York where he will have an opportunity to make fun and ridicule his opponent.

But Trump would have a very difficult time with trying to be funny or with honest ridicule. Calling names and hurling insults is not funny and is not made for the Al Smith Dinner crowd. It would be a big mistake for him to go.

Look for him to withdraw his appearance tonight due to prior commitments.

1. I'll be very surprised if he goes, actually.

It doesn't seem his cup of tea, so to speak.

[livetohike]

2. I don't think I've ever heard him laugh. If he goes, he will walk out when Hillary is speaking.

She has a good sense of humor

[kentuck]

3. She has the hide of a rhino...

Words and insults just roll off her back.

[SunSeeker]

5. What comedian wouldn't want to be writing for Hillary right now?

[livetohike]

7. I wonder who is doing the writing? So much material and

too little time !

[SunSeeker]

8. I hope Samantha Bee is one of them! nt

[chelsea0011]

4. He will complain that Hillary got the jokes early

[Angry Dragon]

6. Bullies laugh and smile while they crush someone

[Qutzupalotl]

9. The tone is supposed to be self-deprecating.

Trump does humor, but always at the expense of someone else. He doesn't do self-deprecating.

30. That's not humor in my book

That's scoffing and bullying in disguise. tRump has no real sense of humor; I never heard of a tyrant, wannabe or actual, who does.

[jberryhill]

10. Find a video of him laughing

Just one

[lpbk2713]

11. Humor is an alien concept to him.

Witness his reaction at the Correspondents' Dinner.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Humor, to Trump and a lot of conservatives, means

making fun of and mocking people who are less powerful. They always punch down.

[TeamPooka]

14. Conservative have a hard time with irony and sarcasm. They don't get it. I know from long experience

[Nay]

16. Yes, and with self-depracating humor too. They are so wound up with themselves

that they can't take part in making fun of themselves at all.

[TeamPooka]

13. Who the heck could they get to write jokes for him?

[bluesbassman]

15. Dennis Miller would be my guess.

He's been awfully quiet recently. Wonder why?

[KelleyKramer]

17. I just realized something about Trump ....

I've been watching him pretty much every day for over a year.. I cannot think of a single time that I have seen or heard him laugh, not once

The guy truly is some seriously damaged goods

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Trump is a mean man. Not only does he never laugh,

he never expresses any kindness, compassion or love toward anyone. It's all just nastiness. He must have an empty soul.

[KelleyKramer]

19. Yep, you are right about his nastiness

Deep inside he must be completely miserable.

And I have also noticed whenever he talks about relations with foreign countries or the state of the economy he always paints a picture of nothing but a scorched earth hellhole

Also, there was an article a couple months ago where Trump pretty much admitted that he has never had any personal friends

I bet a shrink could tell you a lot about him just from the traits you and I have described

Nov. 9th can't get here soon enough!

[Divine Discontent]

22. good observations about him... he's dark....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. He's like a Dementor from the Harry Potter series.

"Dementors are "soulless creatures... among the foulest beings on Earth": a phantom species who, as their name suggests, gradually deprive human minds of happiness and intelligence.... dementors are eyeless, and the only feature of note is the perpetually indrawn breath, by which they consume the emotions and good memories of human beings, forcing the victim to relive its worst memories alone.... Dementors grow like fungi in dark, moist places, creating a dense, chilly fog. Although they are implied to be sentient, this is left ambiguous. The presence of a dementor makes the surrounding atmosphere grow cold and dark, and the effects are cumulative with the number of dementors present. The culmination of their power is the 'Dementor's Kiss', wherein the dementor latches its mouth onto a victim's lips and consumes its soul or psyche, presumably to leave the victim in a vegetative state, without any memories and feelings left.

20. As a rule conservatives do no do humor.

You have to smart to have a real sense of humor.

[Divine Discontent]

21. As I answered around 4pm to someone asking if he'd go, I said of course he would - it's got

FREE FOOD and several of his crony buddies will be there that he knows will love his putdowns, and he won't miss a chance to make public digs at her with HER right there...


thankfully, they don't listen to wise people like yourself who know it'd be a DISASTER for him. I actually turned him off after the Haiti "joke"...

[Upin]

24. One day maybe we'll get lucky and there will be a Friar's Club Trump roast...

I wish they had done one prior to the election even if he didn't show up...

[Stuart G]

25. Wellllllllllllllllllll.....YOU WERE CORRECT...HE SOULDN'T HAVE GONE.....yes..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nt

[kentuck]

27. I thought he had more sense than to go...

...and obviously, no one was giving him advice or he wasn't taking it.

[Stuart G]

28. All he had to do was a short speech with a few self dibs .."obviously"

a couple or more about the election. A couple of so called "funny" jokes about whatever, and then sit down..

I didn't watch it...but the speech last nite could have been 5 to 7 minutes and then he could sit..It would have been odd, but as long as those three were included...no problem..or one or two harmless tosses at Clinton...

obviously no one was giving him this advice.........and obiously......he wasn't taking it....because....

He is the top guy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and no one is going to tell him what to do..even at an event where he has to give a few self dibs, and do some lite jokes....he is going to do what he thinks he should do...cause he knows.....

oops...............missed a word............................"cause he knows...NOTHING"..

[Littlered9560]

26. Can borderline personalities even understand humor?

I don't think they can. So they just paste on a plastic smile.

[Nye Bevan]

29. He does mean, mocking "humor",

but he is just awful at being self-deprecating.

[Initech]

31. Humor is part of the left wing liberal media plot to elect Crooked Hillary!

Only stupid losers use sarcasm! I don't like that sarcasm, never did!
