Well, normally I would agree with this post, since that claim has been debunked. In fact, I was just about to post about it, but I wanted to read through the thread so I didn't duplicate what another person wrote. I usually agree with Don1945, but, according to those websites, that was made up by someone on Facebook.

OTOH, whenever I refer to FactCheck and Snopes to call out Trump on a lie, the Trump supporters call them left-wing fake news websites, so that must mean that even when something like this is debunked, it's really true!

Trump supporters can't have it both ways! Referring to sites that are frequently called "fake" or "liberal" when you need them is disingenuous.

I didn't read the whole thread but I assume someone pointed out it was a joke? But one that fell flat. Trump just has no sense of comedic timing. He should stay away from trying to tell jokes. Hillary was the same. Zero sense of comedic timing. Obama was pretty good at it, as was Reagan. Bush (W) and Biden were unintentionally hilarious. Bush Sr, Quayle, and Gore were just dullards - no comedy there either. I don't think Cheney ever tried to even tell a joke from what I could tell and too soon to tell with Pence. Bill Clinton was okay on comedy but it always felt like the creepy uncle you were forced to sit next to at Thankgiving comedy - so not awesome.

JOKing about God is never ok. Pres Reagan would have bust a cap in his ass for that one.

I just watched the video of both Trump's inappropriate remarks and Arnold's rejoinder - Arnie definitely got the best of that exchange. Also, watching Spicer describe Trump's remarks as "absolutely beautiful" made me laugh so hard I scared the animals. I'd feel sorry for Spicer if he wasn't such a spineless tool.

Has nothing to do with "comedic timing". It was not the time or place. Trump seems unable to discern that the job of President is different than that of showman/ carnival barker. Something he should have picked by now, at what 70 years old? And if age alone wasn't enough, campaigning and surrounding himself with advisors should have taken care of it. It's disturbing that our President doesn't appear to be a quick study.

Lighten up Francis. He tried to make a joke, it fell flat. The rest was my observation about the joke telling abilities of our past Presidents and VPs.

ETA: By the way, I even heard a preacher/pastor (no clue what they're called) tell a joke once. GASP! I should have scolded and told him it wasn't the time or place since it was in church and all.

Another drama queen post from the loony left. He mentioned the Apprentice why that's outrageous!!!
Yea that really really matters doesn't it. And people wonder why the loony left gets no respect.

You lost, get over it.

You don't get to decide what the time and place is. It's disturbing that people like you don't grasp what is important and what doesn't matter one iota.
B-b-b-but Trump said Apprentice.

You lost, get over it.
