    It’s always “just a joke” when it’s discovered to be too appalling for him to claim it’s serious.

      Dude has zero clue what the word “joke” means. Since when has making completely fucked up statements with no comic structure or punchline ever been considered a joke?

      Although, to be fair, more often than not, Trump is completely serious and not claiming that he’s joking. It’s his handlers that lean the most on the “iTs OnLY a jOKe” bullshit

        It’s common for conservatives - their humor is pretty much entirely based on mocking or laughing at a marginalized group they consider lower than themselves.

    He’s made this “joke” before.

    Trump also proposed digging a water-filled moat and stocking it with snakes and alligators. If he was kidding, his aides didn’t think so, as they sought a cost estimate for the cartoonishly ludicrous proposal. Trump also wanted the wall to be electrified, and topped with spikes that could “pierce human flesh.”

        To be fair, Trump did say that he’s the same as when he was 6.

      The joke is that it’s happening to someone other than them.
