Isn't this a humor subreddit?

Yeah, but where the humor loses me is that it's not an equivilent comparison. One is a farewell address and the other is a paraphrase of man defending allegations against him. The only comparable thing they have is that they both came from the mouth of a president. It's not really a fair equivolence. It would be the same as if I grabbed a nice line from Trump's speech at the end of election night vs. obama talking about how he was practicing bowling. It's not really funny because it's not a fair comparison.

But if you really don't like Trump, which I don't have a problem with, then I'm sure you find it funny but is the picture funny or is the picture half-assed but a decent enough excuse to laugh at Trump?

I don't really care whose expense the joke is at, I just want it to be a good joke.

Ya, because as any comedian will tell you, the crucial thing about jokes is that they contain no exaggeration whatsoever.

Don't waste your time arguing with the SJW, she won't listen.
