Why Trump Can't Take a Joke | Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones & Maya May

Bobby Jones

knows about power and strategy. Two decades in the Navy will do that. But on this week’s Anchor Watch, he talked with Punching Up’s

Maya May

about a different kind of power — comedy. A couple weeks ago, that might have sounded like a cheesy ad for a comedy showcase on PBS, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that comedy is one of the purest forms of Trump kryptonite.

He can’t handle jokes. And fascists, in general, aren’t funny people (or so one would assume). The purity that Trump demands from his followers and the world leaves no space for even the slightest ribbing.

He just can’t handle it, which makes the American comedian a sort of superhero.

Watch this episode of Anchor Watch — Maya literally stops Bobby in his tracks. And then tell us who you think is doing comedy right in this era in the comments. We love hearing from you!
