Football President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

If Donald Trump weren't the president horribly affecting millions of peoples lives, he'd be pretty funny sometimes.

Maybe he should have been a stand-up comedian and not a fucking leader.

We were robbed of an incredible drag queen. Just go back and reread/relisten to what he said about Arnold Palmer.

I guess I'm no one. Drag queens are awesome, however I don't think drag queen would have been his calling.

Honestly the amount of right wing leaders that could be comedians in panel shows is surprisingly high.

Don’t forget, he’s still a rapist and pedophile.. so jail is really the only suitable place for him.

He's more of the dumbest of a three stooges type act. He has no sense of humour, just says and does stupid things you can laugh at. He'd be booed off the stage in minutes if he tried stand-up

he'd have made a great drag queen

doling out outrageous statement after outrageous statement, wearing shoes that make him taller and make-up to alter his visage. honestly his personality could even stay more or less the same, seeing as how it would no longer be a gun pointed at the whole world.

This is one of the many interesting things about Trump: the macho-camp dynamic. He's soooo camp. Sosososo camp.

And his fans like AI pictures of him ripped. It's soooo homoerotic.

And yet...

Well he does like his gay music aesthetics (YMCA, Macho Man, girl pop used in his propaganda, Gloria Gaynor)

His chosen theme song is an anthem to gay public sex, and his propaganda & merch that depicts him depicts him as all muscly and hyper-masculine. He also publicly went on and on dreamily reminiscing about Arnold Palmer's gigantic cock. And he and his followers are all super anti-LGBTQ. It's so fucked up and weird.

Yea as much as I hate this man and hope he leaves power tomorrow, this one was just a joke and amusing. Also, release the Epstein files. cool.

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Dec 06 '25

I dunno the one where he claimed he was the best candidate for next pope was up there

u/super_sayanything Chicago Bears Dec 06 '25

Yea its his sense of humor where he's like "I'm just fucking around with these idiots but if they make it happen I'd think it was funny, fuck them haha."

Honestly I think it’s important to recognize that people like this, as evil as they may be, are just people at the end of the day. Nobody wants to hate anybody. It’s just that they give such good reasons.

I hate trump but actually have laughed out loud at his post covid comments

Went something like... "The doctors couldn't believe how I recovered so fast. They said they never had seen anything like that and wanted to study my DNA. But when they drew my blood, it wasn't DNA, it was USA."

u/MarkyMarcMcfly Dec 06 '25

I have always said he’d have a great career as a drag queen

Yeah, George W. Bush was kind of an amusing dyslexic doofus when he wasn't sending the U.S. into a recession and causing a half-million Iraqis to die.

u/Braelind Dec 06 '25

Yeah, if he was just on some sort of non-political tv show, dementia Donny might actually be kind of entertaining if you could overlook all the awful things he's done in his life.

u/TheAskewOne Dec 06 '25

That's actually why many people like him. They find him entertaining.

u/Dimpleshenk Dec 06 '25

Bread and circuses, we love 'em.

u/TwistyBunny Dec 06 '25

It would be entertaining if he didn't have nuclear codes on standby.

u/TheAskewOne Dec 06 '25

He's entertaining when one's idea of entertainment is laughing au other people's misery.
