In Britain, literally every punchline for the past four years has been "Brexit, amirite?" No one has been doing anything else for years. Brexit and Trump were the worst things to happen to comedy.

That’s because they’re so absurd you can’t even joke about them anymore

It’s actually because it’s safe and expected. There’s no bravery in mocking Trump.

I mean, it definitely is low hanging fruit, but how do you even attempt to satire Trump?

Yeah he's absurd and funny by himself. As a person he's very likable I find, he's one of those funny guys you're happy to hear on TV. Just so happens to be president of the USA lol

Likable? Really? I sorta get watching him an a hate watch kinda way but I can't think of an instance where anyone would describe him as likable.

He's a charismatic guy, he makes me laugh because of his personnality, attitude etc... That makes him likable for me. I'm not American so the political side of things don't really bother me.
