a theory I have is that while a lot of people say trump is "funny," he's not in on the joke AT ALL, and almost everything they interpret as him joking is him lost in a completely unrestrained narcissistic psychosis so extreme that normal people imagine he can't be serious

But laughing at the village idiot-in-chief gives us a moment of laughter.
It’s really a “everyone is actually laughing AT him” sort of funny. Some people realize it, most don’t.
Reminds me of the portrait of Anne of Cleeves.
It’s not “bravado” or “bluster”. He means it.
Michael Cohen famously said that he “has no sense of humor”. He may smile or chuckle but it’s all in furtherance of his goal, not sincere.
So, does that mean that he thinks Obama is a good looking man?
It's the only 'nice' thing I can remember him saying about Obama
We don't know what Trump's laugh sounds like. The man doesn't laugh!
He's been on our TVs all day every day, like it or not, for A FULL DECADE STRAIGHT and none of us know what his laugh sounds like!
The closest we have as a bemused chuckle when something unexpected happens.
HE"S NOT KIDDING!
Believe what he says, regardless how crazy it sounds.
He's TELLING you what he's going to do.

They're so pathetically desperate to be seen as being funny, and they simply aren't.
I have never heard the man say anything funny, and I don't think it's me.
*sigh*
"Trump suggested a broadside against the entire dais: ‘Their all losers and I like associating with loser because it makes me feel even better about myself.´ (The grammar mistakes are Trump’s.)"
For the many thousands of hours of video footage available, spanning at least the last 40 years, I defy anyone to find me *one single clip* where he's done either. I don't mean a forced chuckle, but genuine, eyes-crinkled laughter. One clip.
What a sad little man.
You don't get "Sissy Graydon Carters bad food resteraunt" from a place of self awareness
Just when he thought he was being awfully serious.

He's definitely funny, but that's because he's such a profoundly weird guy obsessed with the musical Cats.

I always thought it was clear that we are laughing at him not with him.

Feuding with the NWS & editing a forecast map with a sharpie was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. But he wasn't trying to be funny. He really is just a big pissbaby who can't admit he was wrong
we already know his poker strategy. spoiler alert: not great.
Because it's a magic trick, they are using knowledge they have to teach you a lesson, just for free and for fun.
How else are you supposed to give kids the tools to communicate abuse?
All of them have personality disorders, in fact - and some are severe. Musk is another malignant narcissist. It's a pathocracy.
A lot of Americans seem pretty ignorant of, well, a lot of things. They re-elected him after January 6. WTF?)
what he does have is the carnival barker instinct, he knows how to pay attention to the crowd’s reactions and repeat the bits they like, but he takes the bits themselves much more seriously than anyone imagines he does
see: the 51st state shit, which people still think he’s joking about
