Nastiness of Trump's 'bottomless well of zingers' is biggest threat to democracy: analysis

Donald Trump views himself as a comedian first and a leader second, argued Alexander Karin for Salon — and the problem is that Trump's sense of humor is getting darker and more twisted as time wears on.

This comes after a campaign that ended in controversy over a right-wing comedian's attack on Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage" at Trump's rally in Madison Square Garden.

"The contrast between Trump’s policy ineptitude and his razor-sharp comedy is remarkable," wrote Karin.
