Trump Thread

[Hooahguy]

Oh poor Michelle Wolf.
The media has (not exclusively but mostly) been pretty negative on her appearance at The White House Correspondents Dinner.
I saw most of it and thought it was hilarious, and pretty spot-on.

She has always been fairly crude and outspoken in her routines, if they didn't want to hear the truth they should have hired someone else.
It has never been part of Michelle Wolf's comedy to "pull her punches"

This conservative site I think has a pretty spot-on assessment on what happened:

On his way to the White House, Trump mocked women, Hispanics, the disabled, and anyone who publicly chose not to support him unconditionally. Granted he did so without the skill of a practiced comedian so his digs were juvenile and repetitive, mostly consisting of calling people stupid, calling them losers, or mocking the fact that they aren’t as rich as he is.
...

Many of those supporters are undoubtedly perturbed by Michelle Wolf’s attempt at comedy but fail to recognize the cognitive dissonance inherent in those feelings. You can’t complain about the level of discourse if you actively helped lower it yourself.
