It would be safe to assume that around half of US voters don’t find Trump funny. In fact, many would even say that Trump doesn’t have a sense of humour, but whether you personally find him funny or not, humour and play are key to his success.
Trump’s contentious Madison Square Garden rally last Sunday was a perfect example. Alongside Trump threatening to launch “the largest deportation program in American history” and calling Kamala Harris “the antichrist”, a packed out crowd also got to see former WWE star Hulk Hogan tear his shirt off on stage, and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe call Puerto Rico an “island of garbage”.
