This Administration is just hillarious!

Trump's comments about police treatment of people arrested was a "joke".
Scaramucci's vile comments about his colleagues was a "joke".
I'm sure Sanders will tell us today that Trump's calling the White House a "dump" was also a "joke".
A bunch of stand up comics, all of them.

Trump and his admin are as gauche and nasty as his OTT NYC penthouse is.

There are lots of other examples also that whenever tRUMP has made a comment and then the blowback comes back in such a large volume, then tRUMP and his people always come back with "it was just a joke!" They have no other way of getting out of it other than to say straight out "yes...our President is a moron!!"

He meant what he said, it only becomes a joke when the public complains.
