How can you make an assassination attempt funny? The quick answer is that you can’t, and you shouldn’t. Yet, comedian Drew Dunn did it somehow. His routine about the Trump assassination attempt on July 13 is great. It’s not over-the-top—it’s hilarious. Given the subject matter, some might not find it humorous, but I respect comedians who push the limits and go there since not all are successful or good at it. Yet, this one right here is hysterical.
There was probably high anxiety in the room when he set up the joke. Dunn said that if the government wanted to execute an assassination attempt, it would look something like Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“It was very inefficient,” he said. “That was the DMV of assassination attempts."
Hilarious bit on Trump assassination attempt.

Dunn added that the government couldn’t afford a JFK-like event with the grassy knoll, instead they had to go tin roof, a town fair, and a shooter who was dead last on his marksmanship team.
He then said he hoped Trump would do a presser with his bandaged ear, saying, “They tried to shoot me. They were too slow, and I’m too fast.”
He makes a very good impression of Trump as well.

He was funny.
He did a good job on it and a great impersonation of Trump.
Very funny and a great Trump imitation as well
He shot like a liberal with very tiny Chinese bullets.
<>He’s not making light of death. He’s making light of stupidity.<>
He assumed the government was behind the assassination attempt and the audience didn’t disagree.
It appears his real goal was at another Biden screw up.
the play on what Trump would have said was pretty funny but with Cory Comperatore’s funeral a month ago today, maybe still too soon for gallows humor.
On the other hand, as Saul Alinsky said, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon" and we are at war with the feral government-cheese bureaucrats and need all the ridicule we can muster.
The impersonation was incredible!
“We used to hire ex-military for assassins; this guy was last on his highschool marksmanship team.”
Exactly what was thinking just now. No matter IF this is supposedly “funny” the FACT is that 1 really great person Corey— was horribly killed, and two others nearly killed were it not for the heroic measures and skills of the physicians in Butler, PA.
This is not a subject to develop a comedy act around, any more than the Lincoln assassination (by a real psychopathic ACTOR, name J. Wilkes Booth).
Pretty much the bottom of the barrel— as a humor topic, worse than even scatalogical references. Just—— NO!
All well and good. But the fact is they are not going to stop. These are the most devious and EVIL people in the world today- and inside our own supposed self-rule “government”.
Goading their incompetence, imho, is foolish. Because now there is present real private protectee protectors who have to keep watch on the SS. Make sure a breastfeeding DEI hire doesn’t disappear at the appropriate moment and justify it by her “condition”. Bull crap- on steroids.
“Don Rickles made funny of everybody.”
At Reagan’s second inagguration party (1985) Rickles is doing a bit. Ragging on Reagan, the Secret Service, etc. At about 1:40 in the following clip he throws out a real zinger - and then drops the microphone on the floor. It wouldn’t surprise me if that is the first instance of the ever popular “mike drop”.

It was good. Not offensive. It was disparaging TPTB, which personally makes me happy.
I’m not a fan of making fun of an event that ended with a fatality and several injuries… but this guy was hilarious, AND his impression of DJT was pretty much spot on.
