    Obviously comedy has always been part of Trump's political act but it's become much more so. In 2016 there was much more about trade & jobs. Now he's basically Andrew Dice Clay redux. For the fans only, not reaching persuadable voters.https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1317979259764461568 …

    "I won't talk about the fact that people have to flush their toilet 15 times. I will not talk about it. I'll only talk about showers and, okay, there are three things. I won't talk about it. This way they can't report it." -- Trump pic.twitter.com/0efzLWgUKy

        It is all really specific reference specific too. It already has to be a story you are familiar with. It isn't humor that fills you in on anything.

        Not sure it qualifies as comedy.

        What the fuck is his obsession with flushing the toilet? (Golden) Showers I get, but toilet flushing I'm quite lost...

        The inability of the Trump campaign to replicate anything near the sort of broader appeal as back in 2016 is probably an indication that that potent mix that produced a victory back then was probably accidental. Barely even touching on things like the opioid crisis that helped.

        Also it’s a lot easier to sell people on things you plan to do than things you haven’t done despite having 4 years to do it.

        Like, it has sort of the rhythm of comedy but just without the joke part
