His former long-time friends such as Michael Cohen say he doesn’t have a sense of humor. At all.
Which makes it all the more galling when every insane thing he says is laughed off as “just a joke” - he means every word.

The White House Correspondent’s Dinner used to serve this purpose, with a headline speaker gently roasting the President and staff (or not-so-gently, as was the case when they had Stephen Colbert host for George W. Bush and he spent half an hour viciously mocking Bush directly to his face).
The Correspondent’s Dinner was neutered when Trump came into office. Not only can Trump not stand being the butt of even the most mild joke, but Seth Meyers’ jokes about Trump at one of Obama’s dinners are the root cause of why he hates him so much, and his go-to response is to destroy anything even vaguely associated with whatever humiliates him.
This reminds me of a post where someone hooked a dead spider up to a syringe and used it as a grabber. A spider’s musculature is hydraulic so the legs would curl and uncurl as the syringe was pressed.
Definitely one of the creepier things I’ve casually stumbled upon.
