[Trump.Deplorable]

It was funny because it was simple, quick and right to the point. I like how they did the slow take of sandwich falling to the ground. Perfect

Sometimes a ‘light touch’ is the hardest hit in comedy.

Seriously, who didn’t laugh at the “I am so racist, I want to turn black people white” regarding the bleach.

There are a way to make funny Trump skits as well, his personality is comedy gold, but all the SNL/Daily Show writers do is portray him as Hitler, which is just dumb and doesn’t fit. Plus Alec Baldwin sucks.

I wonder what Trump skits would be like if the comedy writers were actually allowed to write comedy skits instead of propaganda hit pieces demanded by their bosses. Maybe they would actually be funny like the old Trump skits they did before he ran for office (watch the old ones, they were actually pretty funny and captured Trump’s unique personality)

The sandwich was funny as was his death threat letter. “I’m Going to kill me.” LOL.

Exactly. SNL destroyed the art of comedy having Baldwin play Trump. Darryl Hammond geniusly played trump for over a decade at least. He owned him, enjoyed him, and nailed him. Like Mackinnon playing Hillary. She deserved her Emmy for it because she absolutely nailed Hillary’s personality and misanthropy.
