Isn't that just a rip off of Joan Rivers joke after 9/11? Crass and inappropriate, yes but its more a joke about the divorce rate than directed at the tragedy itself.

I mean, this joke is at least coherent. This is a nothing burger. If anyone is allowed to make jokes about an assassination attempt, would it not be the person they were trying to kill? I donfeel bad for the wife that its been released, as she likely wants no more attention.

Joan Rivers is a comedian, Donald Trump is running for reelection for arguably the most powerful job in the world, we're allowed to hold them to different standards

I completely agree. However, if its acceptable for a comedian it's much less serioisnthan his many other faults.

This is one to add to the pile, but not a big issue.

It's just him telling us all, yet again, that he cares for nobody besides himself.
