This Comedian Has Done the Impossible Regarding the Trump Assassination Attempt

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."

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.

I have one problem with Townhall-too many of their clickbait headlines. This comedian was funny.

Granted there were decades between the events and the joke, but one of the funniest things I heard about assassination was a comic on a TV comedy contest show saying that when he saw Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver together, all he could figure was they were trying to breed a bullet-proof Kennedy.

He’s not making light of death. He’s making light of stupidity.

That was hilarious! Trump totally needs to steal it!

"but I respect comedians who push the limits and go there since not all are successful or good at it."

The best comedians are the ones who push the limits, which is why comedy sucks today. So many of them are afraid of offending the joyless woke gatekeepers.

It’s funny perhaps, knowing that he missed and Trump is still alive. But do you think the deep state is going to give up after one failed attempt? They’ll find someone else who can’t be traced back to them.

Funny is always funny.

Don Rickles made funny of everybody.
Lenny Bruce made funny of that word Nig Grr that you can’t even post.
George Carlin made funny of everything.
Mel Brooks made funny of Nazis and effeminate tuxedoed Dancers, and everybody else you can think of.

Ya gotta stop and take a breath.

It’s this kind of humor that comforts the heart after a tragedy. This is how we cope and he was very funny
