DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"

this article explains it well: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5082/the-dangerous-stereotype-of-the-self-hating-homophobe

So in your opinion, the only interpretation as to why this is funny is because gay man bad?

Not the OVERWHELMING, BLINDING, BURNING hypocrisy of the situation? That doesn't factor into it?

If that's the only explanation you can come up with, maybe you have some homophobia yourself.

    We understand it's AI. It was created to appear hypocritical. It would be funny if Trump were gay. Not because gay funny but because Trump being gay would be ironic. How do you not see this..?
