5. Yeah. Captive audience, make them squirm in their seats, and bolt for the exits before any "rebuttals."

It's really hard for me to "fully" accept this, but that dinner where Obama roasted Trump happened on April 30, 2011, and not only did it appear to be a large part of motivation for Trump running in 2016 (as "revenge" ), he STILL hates Obama with a PASSION for what, to me, were a few harmless jokes. They cut a little deep, sure, but I never bought the "charm" of Trump pointing and bellowing his scripted "You're FIRED" on the Apprentice, and Obama getting the last word in on Trump's racist "birther" conspiracy, to me, was a necessary moment.

Having said all of that, Trump is still seething with rage over 15 year old jokes.
