Whether you are for or against Trump, I think we can all agree that a lot of comedy is being spun on the Administration of Trump. It's a sort of tragic comedic experience, where Trump says or does something terrible and a comedian makes us laugh about it. It makes one all nostalgic for the Golden Days of the Bush Administration and Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.

I don't mean for this to be some kind of "Slam Trump" thread because it will just descend into bickering but there's a lot of Trump related entertainment that isn't fit for the Discussion forum, but alternatively probably is too controversial to be posted in other threads.

So here we go. Post your jokes, your funny pictures, your crazy videos, etc. and lets try to have some fun.

I'll start out by linking some of the pictures from the new Tiny Trumps subreddit:

I just can't wait until he has to participate in events such as the White House Easter egg hunt and roll and the pardoning of the turkey for Thanksgiving. I wonder if Melania and Barron will finally make an appearance then or it will just probably be him in all of his awkward glory. That's comedy that will write itself.

I imagine he'll pull a Joffrey and order a Secret Service guard to shoot the Turkey and then thank the 2nd amendment for keeping America Great.

He'll go on a Twitter rant about how the "fake news" under-reported the number of Easter eggs that were rolled down the White House lawn and how many Easter eggs were found for the Easter egg hunt (even though the eggs were probably the best hidden eggs ever).

LOL at thinking we'll last through Thanksgiving. This thread is already working!

This feels like a ridiculous question but here goes: Is the rest of the world aware that "trump" is a common word for "fart" in the UK? It is one of the words you use for it to children.

I always assumed everyone knows but it's not used for comedy because it's too easy. Or is it not known? Or am I a child? But c'mon. He may as well be President Fart.

Oh and he's totally ruined one of the best childish words for fart now. If I ever try to use it in it's historical context I have to add the caveat "I mean I farted, nothing to do with the President of the US." Fucking disgraceful. Him. Not me.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Well. It's quite an old school word for fart. Trumpeting might get an airing over here by old people the odd time regarding g someone farting with abandon, but it's not common.

My kids have always called them trumps.

They were consequently constantly amused by most footage of the campaign, with people under Trump signs, a Trump tower, and even a giant Trump on an airplane.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Yeah, but it's not really universal is it? I mean, here in the U.S. I've heard old people or polite people refer to them as "toots", but fart is really known almost everywhere, yes? So, to hang your hat on "trump" being a huge insult because it means fart is really myopic thinking.

Now, on the other hand, "trump" rhymes with a lot of cool words that can be used to make fun of it. Like "dump", "hump", "lump"... etc.

The above picture makes me wonder. What actually is up with Trumps skin? Is he naturally orange? Is he applying some kind of make-up? Is it some kind of old person disease like liver problems or something? If you look at his eyes it looks like he's wearing a Snooky mask.

You'd think a billionaire could afford a better application of sausage skin tone.
