Donald Trump’s impressionist Matt Friend believes that the president could be a really funny person if he was not so busy trying to tear everyone apart from the slightest criticism.
“My feeling about Trump is, at least according to what [comedian] Bill Maher said about him and what everyone said about him is that the guy is hilarious when you are in person, “Joanna Coles on the Podcast Daily Beast told the host.
However, Friend et Coles have agreed that a sense of humor rarely stands out in Trumpland when the figure in the bow is the butt of jokes.
Friend stressed that, unfortunately for Trump, he is the “main character in the world at the moment”, which means that he will be constantly deposited in the end of the evening monologues.
In July, Trump celebrated the disappearance of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert In a social post, rubbing salt in Colbert’s injuries.
“I love the fact that Colbert was dismissed,” said Trump about the late evening host, who was one of the president’s fastest criticism. Trump added: “His talent was even less than his notes. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is the next one. To even less talent than Colbert!”
CBS announced that it ended The late show three days after Colbert criticized a regulation between Trump’s parent company and CBS Paramount Global on the editing of a 60 minutes history. The dismissal also came while the Trump administration approved the $ 8.4 billion agreement in Paramount to merge the Skydance media, which led the actors and politicians to denounce the end of the comedy under the reign of Maga.
However, Trump insisted that Colbert’s start-up was not his fault, writing in a social post of subsequent truth that Colbert became “a victim of himself”.
The real problem, according to a friend, is that Trump cannot take a joke.
“He doesn’t like people to threaten him or make fun of him, which is such a strange balance,” said Friend. “Seth MacFarlane described how great Trump was [his] Comedy Central Roast, and now he is like a different person. So it’s a strange thing. There is a strange change, if this is the case. “”
Friend added: “It is also crazy that he still cares because he does not have to run again. He has nothing more to prove.”
However, Friend admits that Trump of Trump has been comic gold for his career as an impressionist and stand-up comic strip.
“Curkey, at the moment, nothing ever compares to the level of absurdity, and comic … positive to have Trump in the oval or just culture office because … it’s so crazy what he does or what he says literally,” said a friend, who explained that he uses his Trump impression to say things “that I cannot say like me”. “”
A friend added, “I didn’t say it. Trump said it. So that’s fine.”
