Scott Douglas Jacobsen: The tragedy and comedy of Trump.
Rick Rosner: Okay, this is day 98 of his presidency. The weirdness and awfulness of how he got elected and the awfulness with how he’s being president and racism and sexism that has been brought out of the closet by people who have been empowered by this president.
They are all so awful that they thoroughly dominate people’s comedy thoughts, at least as I’ve experienced or as I have experienced them in Twitter. Before, he was the comedy of gripes or of small complaints.
For me, it would be about people not getting off the equipment at the gym because they are using the phone while they don’t fully use the machine they are on. Also, people joking about the annoyances of going through airport security lines.
Joking about their personal weakness with regard to food. Just little comedy topics, that in a different era would be expressed in front of a brick wall at the comedy club. Often, with the preface, “What is it with?”
