Late Night Political Humor

[Jokes from Aug 2, 2016]

“Eric Trump appeared on CBS ‘This Morning’ today and defended his father’s ongoing feud with the family of a veteran, saying, ‘What I think this country needs is a fighter.’ And to Donald Trump’s credit, he did bravely fight off all five of the Army’s attempts to draft him.” – Seth Meyers

“It is being reported that two senior aides were recently fired from the Donald Trump campaign. ‘Oh no, which two?!’ yelled Eric and Donald Jr.” – Seth Meyers

“Trump himself seems to be aware of the shifts in public opinion which is why it seems like he’s already building an excuse for a loss by saying the November election will probably be rigged.

“Vice President Joe Biden yesterday performed a same-sex wedding for a pair of longtime White House staffers. Said the staffers, ‘But we’re just friends!'” – Seth Meyers

“When asked about possibly running for future office despite his age, Vice President Joe Biden this weekend told interviewers that if he didn’t know how old he really was, he’d guess he’s 44. And if he didn’t know what time it was, he’d guess it’s Miller Time.” – Seth Meyers
