Donald Trump has worked hard to make himself a hated man.

No one will mourn his death.

SNL audience cheered joke about Trump theatre assassination

Terrible!

Got anything to say about:

GOP Senators Chastise Trump Over Execution Threat Against Colleagues
Several Republican senators are chastising Donald Trump over his call to execute political enemies. Trump suggested that a group of Democrats should be punished by death after they urged U.S. service members and the intelligence community to refuse illegal orders in a video. "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" the president wrote in an extraordinary Truth Social post, moments after designating them "traitors."
Or is your faux outrage a one way street?

"SNL audience cheered joke about Trump theatre assassination"

Talking about the joke doesn't do it justice. Looking on Youtube I can only find references to the joke, without the audience's response. You need to heard the audience to get the full effect.

The response is what I found more disturbing than the joke itself. The audience clapped and yelled with enthusiasm and for an extended length of time.

Yikes....

Snoofy,

"Do you know why people hate Trump?"

Because he's the current GOP president.

The next one will be hated just as much.

Fact.

That's not why.

People didn't hate any other Republican President this much.

Do you know that?

Shocking! Shocking I tells ya that Americans would laugh at jokes about the con artist criminal traitor that ordered his DOJ to rig the 2020 Election.

What's shocking are the fools in this country who knew that and still elected the POS... not to mention the ones that obfuscate for him on these hallowed yellow pages.

Trump Pres popularity ratings compared to other presidents?

"As of April 2026, Donald Trump's second-term approval ratings have largely stayed below 45%, consistently trailing the historical averages of post-WWII presidents (approx. 60%) and frequently dipping to lows similar to his first-term, often in the mid-30s to low-40s range, reflecting high polarization and declining support among key groups.

Historical Comparison:

Trump's average approval during his first term (approx. 41%) was the lowest recorded by Gallup for any president since they began tracking, while John F. Kennedy had the highest (70.1%).

Second-Term Trends: His second term began with a 45% approval rating, below the 60% average for post-WWII presidents, and dipped further to 33% by March 2026 amid economic challenges."

Wrong yet again, BJ.

How does Bill feel about Trump cheering the death of Robert Mueller, who investigated Trump for his crimes against the United States?

Two seconds of searching later, here you go: youtube

You said you would continue supporting Trump if he Epsteined a child on the front lawn of the White House and then decapitated him/her (which might not be that surprising given his Allah Hakbar this weekend). And you also claim to be a Christian. So, to put it mildly, I question your judgement on what is and is not disturbing.

Snoofy,

Tell me why people hate Trump.

Go beyond basic Republican vs Democrat differences.

What is it about him specifically that drives that sort of reaction?

No strawmen.

For example before he was elected, I've criticized how he conducted business and apparently considered bankruptcies a business plan.

But I never saw that as a reason to hate him.

I won't get into back and forth debating...just write it and I'll read it.

Saying I said something I never did, will get you on my "time out" list.

I resent liars and will not communicate with them.

I won't respond to you if you do it again.

Ordering his DOJ to help him overturn the US Election in 2020 using Fake State Ballots?

Being a traitor to the Constitution should be enough, but he's also a convicted fraud, sexual abuser, convicted defamer of his sex abuse victims, and accused pedophile.

You know, if you need any other reasons... like he lies to American's faces daily.

Raping girls for decades.

Destroying beautiful things that people love, just for the sake of inflicting harm. For example, 25% cuts to cancer research.

No other President in our lifetimes has been as awful, either personally or politically, as Trump.

You probably wouldn't believe me.

Read Mary Trump's book.

Read anyone who was in Trump's first administration's book.

In recent developments:

People are also hating Trump for the high gas prices he's causing for the foreseeable future.

About five months ago, you made a reference to Trump getting "his fingers stinky," when he raped that woman in the dressing room and that it was no big deal. I asked you if there was anything Trump could do to lose your support and you said it would be when he was no longer effective.

I then said that I suspected as much, so why pretend that a rape would matter to you. And that you would support him if he Epsteined a child on the front lawn of the White House and then decapitated him/her and you said I was being "dramatic" (or something like that). Which is not a "no, I will not support him." And then someone asked me if I liked The Aristocrats.

You know you said it. I know you said it. And you still aren't denying that he would lose your support if he did that.

You can plonk me to your heart's content. It won't change who you are and what you stand for (if anything).
