Not sure why trolling is a characteristic one would value in a president. Seems very junior high-schoolish to me. I keep hoping most Americans are more mature than to take pleasure out of trolling as opposed to real leadership in times of crisis.

America is and deserves better!
It's a proven fact now that Democrats and Liberals today have no sense of humor. SNL has even proved it.

Somewhere in the last 20 years they got woke and broke.

Sense of humor? What's funny about being in the middle of a pandemic? If he wants humor, let him go to the WH correspondent's dinner or some other venue.

The Trump is at his best when he does the circus act part of "bread and circuses".

Trump supporters aren't looking for "real leadership". They are filled with anger and resentment (as is Trump and it shows). They want a guy that takes life and death situations and turns them into a game of "neener neener".

Did you read the first sentence of the OP?

Regardless - it was funny.

You didn't find it funny because you don't like Trump.

I appreciate the humor because it weaves two truths together in a lighted hearted way. 1- The truth of social distancing 2- The truth that the majority of the press hates him.

And as much as he is called names and ridiculed and everything that you believe is deserving - he can give it back.

If you (generally) don't like it... don't whine when you make fun of him and it's returned back to you.

Sixteen thousand people dead of Covid19 in the US, as of today. Trump is "trolling", Attorney General Bootlicker is snickering, and you think this is good?

Trump and Barr do look like a couple of repulsive trolls, they should both go crawl back underneath the bridge from whence they came.

It works because we have a whole generation that grew up on reality TV and shock television shows like Jerry Springer. They just want to be entertained, all the time.

Don't feed the troll.

It's like a corollary to Shaw's "never wrestle with a pig".
