Opinion: Donald Trump is a walking punch line. Democrats need to learn that this is their greatest weapon (via latimesopinion)

The president of the United States has always been a target for comedy. When the office has been held by someone eloquent and empathetic, someone who goes eight years without a scandal, the comedy is fairly tame, even a little dull. But when he embodies each of the Seven Deadly Sins, the gloves come off.

Much of the great Trump humor comes from the late-night hosts who have become our most trustworthy newscasters, among them Stephen Colbert , Trevor Noah and Seth Meyers . Is there any image of him we could create that would be more ridiculous than that orange face with the white raccoon eyes, topped by that insane architectural comb-over? Yet that is the way he has chosen to present himself to the world.

Yet, even as he has become America’s comedy muse, Trump himself is the definition of humorless. Yes, he can smirk at mean-spirited things, but if he has ever genuinely and joyfully laughed at anything, we’ve yet to see that footage. He is devoid of the irony, humility or self-awareness that a sense of humor requires. He has no perspective on the ludicrousness of his every word and deed, no idea that his every accusation, every denial, is understood by the sentient to be a confession.

DavidBHayter opinion I never thought the President could be such a joke. So sad. He couldn't be impeached soon enough!

opinion Cripes your camp is unbelievably juvenile. You just can't go a day without making some schoolyard quip. You're going to lose the election because you can't hide your transparent hatred for anything not strictly 'progressive' by your definition. Everyone can see though you.

opinion doesn’t even pretend anymore smh 🤦‍♂️

opinion Democrats missed the train !!.

opinion Legislators get elected to legislate. If they come to the voters with no accomplishments other than to gripe or joke about the president why should they expect to get more time on the job? If they can’t do the people’s business in spite of the President they don’t deserve the job

DavidBHayter opinion Basing your campaign on 'I'm not trump' is why he won in the first place you've GOTTA run on your own merits!

opinion Kind of like the LA Times is almost a real newspaper!

DavidBHayter opinion Why is this in my tl?

opinion The biggest walking punch line is you people masquerading as reporters. All you do all day long is anti trump crap. It’s not news. It’s fake news and you are a fake newspaper.

opinion Hmmm really

opinion Why should anyone trust a news outlet that openly gives opinions while simultaneously claims to give non-biased information. It only suggests you have a narrative you are constantly reinforcing with the “news” you provide. thedeathofjournalism

opinion Yeah ok... whatever.... but I have 1 question: DID ANY of you “firefighters” help clean up the homeless camp in L.A. yesterday? No? Didn’t think so? So, you keep your trash/💩/needles & we’ll keep our “🤡”

opinion It’s only a matter of time before the LA Times circles the drain.

opinion I applaud the creativity of the graphic designer .

opinion He will blab top security to every other country for money$$$$$!

opinion This tactic failed in the last election. It actually helped put him in the WH. Doing it again is just plain stupid and will get him reelected. One string bango idiots.

opinion The DNC is too busy trying to beat each other up to pay attention to the real issues they were elected to do. They can't hold a candle to our great president. Oh by the way, YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA !! LOOK !! LOVE THAT WALL !! KAG !! Have a MAGA-nificent day.

opinion So you stopped reporting the news now? Trying to give talking points to the D’s? Just focus on the D’s turning California into a shithole!

opinion Nah. Joe Biden is a walking punchline. But he won’t be the nominee. The probable nominee will be that other walking punchline, the fake Indian

opinion The LATimes is a JOKE You beerbonged the Barry Flavored Koolaid

DavidBHayter opinion Democrats acting like donald trump probably won't get them back into the white house.

opinion Imagine if conservatives had treated Obama like this. The left hates Trump more than they love America.

opinion You need to address the dirty politics in CA.

opinion The thing is ... Trump gets the big issues right. He's right on China. He's right on border security. He's right on energy security. He's right on the economy and he's mostly right in the Middle East and on Afghanistan. Those are the things that actually matter to people.

opinion Me too, climate crisis, media Separate titles, but the same Everything's polar bear political Melting down the human brain WriterLift writers AMJoy BB21 ClimateAction Caturday CHELIV SundayMotivation SundayFunday SundayMorning

opinion Enough with opinion. Report facts.

opinion You are a joke not him . Just my opinion!

Sure.’ Democrats weighing Trump’s impeachment face roadblocks at every turnDemocrats face hurdles gathering testimony and documents while investigating President Donald Trump, and haven&39;t been able to overcome them. You don’t say?
