If I write a good joke in July that puts words in Donald Trump's mouth and then draw it up in a cartoon, everybody loves it. It's fantastic. They think it's absolutely great. Donald Trump tells the exact same joke in October and people get on his case, and I don't get it! I don't know why. It wasn't his fault those words came out of his mouth.

plagiarizes the joke talking about Melania plagiarizing Michelle Obama's DNC speech!
Should have known he couldn't come up with that.
You cannot make this shite up. I didn't think it was funny at the time.. he was deprecating his wife. Like he's freaking perfect or something.
