At first blush, the following question might seem like a sideways throwaway snark at the professionally political. However, at the heart of it, there’s a truth in the question I am genuinely curious about.
Have you ever noticed that Donald Trump supporters have a better sense of humor than the supporters of all other political candidates?
I mean, it’s just a truthful observation. Trump supporters are just plain funnier, have a fun disposition and are humorous people.
Like many of you, I’ve followed politics for a long time, and this is just one of those random observations that I have noticed.
The people who support President Donald Trump just have a much greater sense of humor. Why is that?

Just my own opinion but I think it’s because there are many more people of faith in the conservative camp. Having a larger sphere of reference beyond the physical world tends to help a person put things into perspective and to take themselves and worldy affairs less seriously when viewed in juxtapostition to eternity and its ramifications.
The joy of the Lord!! 🙏🏼
Agree!!
Yes for sure!!
Liberals talk of diversity as strength yet they seek to propagate the bland, blur distinctions, and acclimatize us all to life without definition. Liberals are the joke.
Lots of good humor here. One of the reasons I like reading CTH is. No matter how grim things appear to be. There are posts that bring a smile to my face and even a good belly laugh.
Keep up the good cheer Treepers!
Yes – it’s because they are real people, and aren’t twisting their psyches to support clearly idiotic and evil ideas like “gender-affirming care” or “affirmative action”, “climate change” or “green new deal” BS.
Because we are not full of ourselves.
We have room inside our souls to share with others, which includes crying with those who cry and rejoicing with those who rejoice.
Because we have a Lord who fills us with His love and peace — with Himself — which gives us a greater sense of all things good.
The reason is obvious…
…We have the capability of laughing at ourselves.
We have to have an incredible sense of humor…or we’ll cry and blow our brains out at the realization of how bleak things really are…right? haha…hehe…amiright? Hello? Anyone?
Why is that? We are not liars. We are not pretenders. Most of us know there is a God, and we also know we are not Him.
I appreciate you SD and your second pic.
Because we have the confidence of the truth
Not being perfect and “knowing it” helps.
Optimal outcomes not perfect outcomes is the goal.
Its easier for a God believer and a free soul to find humor and irony even in the more challenging and serious situations, we use humor for strength, as a defuse valve, as a motivator.
Life is just too short.
Comment about first photo:
Compare the interviews with Trump and Melania with the latest one of RDS and Karen, sorry and Casey, HUGE difference, HUGE!
Why are Trump supporters more humorous. The opposition gives us so much material to work with
Humor indicates a lightness of heart- usually due to optimism. People who are burdened or fearful or negative or angry cannot reflexively smile and laugh- they are too overwhelmed with negatives.
I love that pic with the Queen who absolutely accepted and respected The Donald. She had great judgement and is missed greatly. Wait… BIGLY! HAHAHAHAHA…
I lived in New York for 15 years (I’m Australian) and New Yorkers have a great sense of humor as a rule- it’s a great asset in navigating and commenting on a hectic and crowded society, it keeps you “up” and it’s a teeny bit competitive too.
No one mentions the fact that President Trump and many conservatives can hold a rally and many many people attend and do have fun… The left can’t get enough people together to hold a rally. If they have a “meeting” they spend all their time finding fault with America
I totally agree.
As a northern foreigner I noticed early on that Trump supporters were people I definitely would like to mix with while most Democrat crowds especially pro Biden Democrats are not impressive. Just my personal observation.
It’s very simple – progressives are fascists ruled by hate. No deeper than that. All they do all day is bobblehead each other justifying their hatred.
And they consider it virtue signaling.
Beyond detestable.
It is difficult to laugh when you are eaten up with hatred.
Trump supporters are people with good hearts. Laughter comes from the heart.
Hope.
It is easier to be joyful when you have hope in your heart.
Even ugly ones are more beautiful! Genuine, honest, caring, loving, and playful is more important to me than physical beauty.
It also works for the inverse, the further left someone is, the less sense of humor they have.
It is well known that conservatives have a good sense of humor, and leftists are humorless.
I love the photo of Melania and Donald.
I remember watching that interview live and remember fondly when Melania gently touched her husband’s arm while they both laughed.
Looking again at the joy in those two people I realized we would never see Hillary do such a thing to Bucking Billy; she always looks like she despises her husband.
C.S. Lewis said that the people who laugh the most can do so because they have already addressed the really serious and important things first.

We are Abby Normal.
What hump?
Because he loves life and America and we do as well, regardless of life’s little twists and turns
And most important, I know he wishes that for ALL Americans!
Through constant trials and smears, he remains standing and continues to smile!
To laugh even, so what’s not to love?
Yes, I noticed. And I also notice that so-called liberals are a very closed-minded, nasty, judgemental bunch. The Trump haters I know cannot listen to facts, or discuss facts. They simply want to silence me and blame me for making them upset. I really prefer AND ENJOY the company and conversation of my Trump accepting friends and family (of which I know precious few).
Rfk jr 1 and Trump 1A. Would be a nice win win if they run against one another. Would take Kennedy over Trump but won’t be too sad if Trump somehow won that one.
Only fully-formed humans have a sense of humor. Psychopaths, automatons, cult members, brain-damaged people and those possessed by demons have no sense of humor.
Abraham Lincoln had to take a moment here and there to chuckle, he explained, to be able to survive. These too are serious times. Laugh whenever you can.
Everyone except DC Draino. He’s a Trump supporter who behaves like a DeeSantis supporter. 😂
We’re more attached to reality, more imagination, more forgiving, more faith and fairness.
I noticed it sometime ago, not necessarily related to Donald Trump supporters, but to conservatives in general. I think it goes to the fact that many of us have a relationship with our higher power, a power that the Communist Democrats refused to recognize.
We believe in reality. And there is humor in the reality of people’s pretending.
But there is also sadness that so many of our fellow humans cannot accept reality.
That is the a main cause, IMHO, of “depression” that is rampant.
We love, honor and appreciate life…
The common denominator in all great comedy is observation. Generally the funniest person in any room is the most observant. Some can spin these observations into long running, perfectly timed and delivered jokes and become standups.
But at the core of it all is an irrefutable truth delivered in an unvarnished and slightly or wildly unexpected way.
’16 Candidate Trump was willing to let his observations fly in a way that was undeniable. The Overton keepers at the time like Hannity, Beck, et al wanted to bludgeon & overwhelm you with Obama and Hilary’s corruption as a demoralization tactic. Notice how they constantly speak in a definitive, authoritative way that the corruption is ongoing but we’re powerless to stop it.
Trump went a step further and labeled it which is why “Crooked Hilary” stuck like mud on a pig. His willingness to let those types of observations rip won him the election.
Trump supporters are willing to acknowledge something is intuitively off, even if its outside of their knowledge base, and do their best to avoid cognitive dissonance.
Funny=observations.
Sense of humor=openness to those observations.
It’s because they’re Christians being a believer changes your personality and character for all those who believe
