Say that's a problem, what's their solution to that going to be? Report your lecturer if they utter a left-wing viewpoint? Hire based on political leanings?

In some states the uttering of verifiable truths would be considered left wing: "the civil war was about slavery" (reported!), "the climate is warming due to human influence" (reported!), "the US government has become an institution to serve the interests of the wealthy" (reported!).

Any other recent president this is clearly a joke but Trump has exhibited so many authoritarian impulses, and praised so many dictators as "strong", that hard to dismiss it quite as easily.

If Obama has said this in the same week as "take guns first and due process second" Fox hosts would be calling for impeachment and riots.

I always just ask this simple question to people: "what if Obama said this?" MOST of the time they can't respond. The absolute lack of critical thinking in this country will be it's absolute downfall.
 
Trump was on great form last night:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Trump closed out the evening with a range of one-liners:


– On his son-in-law, Jared Kushner: “We were late tonight because Jared could not get through security.”


– On attorney general Jeff Sessions: “I offered him a ride over and he recused himself. What are you going to do?”


– On vice-president Mike Pence: “I really am proud to call him the apprentice. But lately he’s showing a particularly keen interest in the news these days. He is asking ‘has he been impeached yet?’ I don’t like that.”


– On former chief strategist Steve Bannon: “That guy leaked more than the Titanic.”


– On The New York Times: “I’m a New York icon. You’re a New York icon. And the only difference is I still own my buildings.”


Appearing to be a good sport at the dinner – he laughed and applauded at times. Trump also drew in wife Melania in a remark about recent White House departures. “So many people have been leaving the White House. It’s invigorating since you want turnover. I like chaos. It really is good,” he said. “Who’s going to be the next to leave? [Trump adviser] Steve Miller or Melania?”


Trump also raised the not-necessarily-comedy-gold subject of the nuclear standoff with North Korea, saying: “I won’t rule out direct talks with Kim Jong-un. I just won’t.” He added: “As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that’s his problem, not mine.”
----------------------------------------------------------------


The report tries hard to hide its snark but doesn't quite succeed. Anyone else remember the 'not-necessarily-comedy-gold' topic of drones when Obama made his quip to bomb boys who were interested in his daughters? hahahaha

Just like Obama, he wrote none of those. I imagine he had to be really pushed into agreeing to the more deprecating ones.

There are interesting insights into Trump's personality when you read the accounts of his CC roast. Whereas most people who agree to a 'roast' tend to veto jokes about their children, Trump was different. He was insistent that his wealth wasn't questioned.

He allowed this:
"The Donald and I have a lot in common: We both live in New York, we both play golf, we both fantasize about his daughter."

Yet he vetoed anything that suggested he might not be as wealthy as claimed or mentioned his tax returns. He vetoed a joke about his failed casino. He changed a joke so it said billions instead of millions.

How do you know that, Ron?

Aaron Lee, a writer on it, talked about it.

"Even in a script designed to be self-effacing, Trump couldn’t resist boosting himself. At the conclusion of the rebuttal, in an exaggerated (even by Trumpian standards) riff about how he lives in a “25,000 square-foot penthouse atop my solid-gold space station,” Trump ordered that the square footage be goosed to 50,000. He changed a line that read, “I’m sorry, I must go now and make a million dollars somewhere else,” to a “billion” dollars."

That's from a 2011 Comedy Central Roast and your article is from 2016. We're talking about the Gridiron dinner that happened last night, seen as he's now President so it's a bit more newsworthy.
