Can Trump be funny even if you don't like him?

I know he is a horrible person, but the reason I think he is so likeable to the MAGA crowd is his jokes. My question is, can you still think he is funny but not like him? Kind of like a comic that you don't like.

 
Trumpy* also thinks of his base as 'disgusting' and that maybe 'covid was a good thing' so he 'won't have to shake their disgusting hands anymore'.

my answer is: no, i don't think he's funny.

She recounts a sickening anecdote about the President in which he told task force members, "Maybe this Covid thing is a good thing. I don't like shaking hands of people ... I don't have to shake hands with these disgusting people," presumably a reference to his own supporters, who he meets at rallies.

Anyone can be a dick. If he wanted to be a standup comedian or performer, he could have stayed in his old life.

As POTUS his 'jokes' get people killed/attacked.
 
He will be hilarious when he is in court wearing an orange jumpsuit, chained to a chair with a ball gag in his pie hole and his eyeballs bugged out as he squirms in the chair. Until then it's a dystopian tragicomedy at best, mass murder at it's worst, trying to end constitutional rule and grab for tyrannical power is no joke, neither is disenfranchising tens of millions of voters and removing their basic human rights.
 
I have a buddy that thinks he is funny but the type of humor that he uses is to degrade and put down others. It is funny if a comedian can pull it off and the audience knows it is meant in jest and the comedian does not actually believe what he says. In Trump's case he actually does believe the stuff he spews and knowing that removes any joking around as far as I am concerned.
 
This was kinda funny, Ruth musta laughed in the casket and I'm sure the other justices took note...

Actually he left when he heard Vote him out coming from the coffin too!

Good explanation and you are right. Do you also think when comics do it they are making fun of something to bring it to light? Like it is so painful for them, the only way they can express their frustration is through their craft? Like when Louis C.K made fun of Chinese factory workers, but maybe he feels sorry for them to be working in such horrible conditions.

A comedian isn't letting Americans die due to his lack of moral character
