I really hate Trump and it feels weird to defend him, but i think everyone is freaking out over what is the closest thing to a witticism that Trump has ever uttered. He’s stupid and has low self-awareness; however, this sounds like a facetious comment - possibly tinged with self-deprecation. Am i giving him too much credit?

Yeah, Trump and self-deprecation don't exist together.

I understand where you're coming from, but you are giving Trump way too much credit. Aside from all of his "I was only joking" non-apologies after making some horrendous and unforgivable statement, the only kind of humor he has ever attempted is to make fun of the misfortunes of others. Seriously, look at his history.

Most people are, about anything but being a shitbird, which he excels at
