Punchlines: Will Trump ever apologize?
At this point, it would almost be easier to count the number of times Donald Trump has said something that actually makes sense. Or perhaps, we could cut the counting down even more and just review the moments during his campaign that weren't followed by what is now a Trump classic — the awkward, finger-pointing non-apology.
His latest episode comes at the expense of a journalist at the New York Times who has a disability. When the journalist refused to back Trump's claim that Muslims were on the streets cheering after the 9/11 attacks, Trump took pot shots at him (and also appeared to be mocking his disability) during a speech. Instead of Trump taking back the juvenile behavior, he demanded an apology from the Times.
Late-night comic Trevor Noah, in an attempt to catch up on the news that he missed during Thanksgiving break, explores Trump's penchant for social and political gaffes as he reviews back episodes of Trumpire — you know, that parody about a rich, greedy tycoon with more chutzpa than common sense who tries to take over the world.
What other Trump classics have the late-night comics had to catch up on? Take a look at today's Punchlines, above, to find out.
