Donald Trump Really, Really Doesn't Like People Joking About His Wealth
Why would a man worth 10 BILLION DOLLARS care about a few jokes about his bank account? Comedy writer Aaron Lee left us with that puzzle after he took to Li.st to share a story/joke about writing for Trump’s 2011 Comedy Central roast.
“Each year, the ‘roastee’ has certain topics they declare off-limits,” wrote Lee, who has written for the network’s roasts since 2005 ― including those for Pamela Anderson, Bob Saget and Roseanne Barr. On the app, he revealed the subject matter that was “not allowed,” per Trump’s request, at the roast: nothing suggesting he is not actually super-rich. Since Trump evidently made no other demands, Lee deduced that the other (some far more cringeworthy) subjects actually covered during the roast were “allowed” in Trump’s book.
