    The president is not there to “joke.”

    I wouldn’t even mind if the President was a funny guy.

    Donald Trump is not a funny guy. I don’t think he even knows what a joke is

      No, I agree with you. I put joke in quotes because his jokes are bully jokes like “maybe I’ll have to run for a third term” where it’s antagonist at best or a thinly veiled threat.

      If the president wants to be a normal person now and then and add some humor, or especially some humility, that is a good thing. I feel it’s important that a president is treated as an at least somewhat common man and not a ruler.

      I don’t think I’d enjoy the company of people that find Trump’s humor to be funny.
