> [@Superdude](#): > > He had an entire Comedy Central roast before he was elected president. And Seth Meyers famously said, “Donald Trump has been saying he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.” > > People were saying mean things about him for years before he ran for president. For real? He actually let people mock him in public, and just sat there and took it good-naturedly? Because that doesn’t sound like Trump _at all_. Wait… was this the event where he wouldn’t allow anyone to say anything negative about him? (Which kinda defeats the purpose of a “roast”.) Because that I can believe. ---

ISTR that the one topic that they couldn’t touch was how much money he actually had. A short Google search later and: > **[Donald Trump Roast Revisited: What Comedians Weren’t Allowed to Say and What...](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/comedy-central-donald-trump-roast-901129/)** > > One roaster, comedian Anthony Jeselnik, thinks Trump agreed to the Comedy Central event as a way to get all the nasty jokes about himself out of the way in the lead-up to a real presidential run. ---

I wonder what would have happened if one or more of the comics had gone off-script and joked about his bankruptcies and not really having a multi-billion dollar net worth. I mean besides never getting a Comedy Central Roast gig again… ---

Remember the end scene in Raiders of the lost Arc? That huge warehouse full of boxes. That was actually where Trump keeps all his lawsuits. That anyone would work for this two bit cheat is beyond me. If they think it’s gonna help their resume, it’s not. Well, unless you want to follow a life of crime. ---

All the lawyers are caricatures of mob lawyers. The latest one representing him in the Stormy Daniels case, Joe Tacopina, would be right at home in a Godfather film. ---
