I think Trump meant his comment to be humorous...
( My last name is Wise...I have been called “Wise Ole Owl” and also “Wise Azz” before...Both to me are humorous...)
I worked with a guy named Wise. Another coworker used to call him Chubby Wise, referring to the bluegrass fiddle player.
Trump has had too many years on Imus and Stern to know what’s humorous and what isn’t. He knows exactly what he means and says it. I cannot argue with the policies he instituted. They were definitely in America’s intetest but he is a despicable human being. I voted for him, and would again, in the same manner Dems voted for Bubba. They knew he was a miserable SOB but they loved his policies. But if DeSantis puts forward policies similar to Trump he will have my vote.
