The countdown to a crude Democratic joke is officially over, as former President Barack Obama showcased his sense of humor—or lack thereof—during a recent Democratic National Convention speech. It turns out that the soaring orator, often marketed as a fountain of wisdom, couldn’t resist making an indecent joke about Donald Trump’s anatomy just when everyone thought they could finally take a breather from the ridiculousness.
The former president’s charmingly juvenile humor arrived as he was simultaneously ripping into Trump for immaturity. Quite the paradox, right? With a wink and a nudge, Obama delivered a hand gesture that left little room for misinterpretation while discussing Trump’s so-called obsession with crowd sizes. It was a calculated move wrapped in a thin veil of plausible deniability. Really, who among us can resist an explicit hand motion while on stage at a political convention?

Ironically, while Obama painted Trump as the whiny millionaire who can’t stop complaining since his presidential candidacy began, it was the ex-president who was pulling the grade-school antics. The audience, clearly entertained, lapped up the obscenities. This comedic moment might have gone under the radar if it weren’t for his apparent inability to let it slide simply—one can only hope he read the room and realized how petty it looked to engage in such buffoonery.
It’s amusing that crowd sizes have become the focal point of this campaign, especially considering the media’s obsession with dissecting every number like it’s a sacred text. The same media that gleefully quibbles over who draws more fans is now suddenly focused on the “vibes” of Kamala Harris’ events. With concert-goers filling the seats for a show rather than a political rally, one might wonder how much actual enthusiasm exists for her candidacy. Yet, the media struggles to draw attention to the reality that most attendees showed up for free music and not out of affection for the Vice President.
In a delightful twist of fate, the very Democrats who lambast Trump for their petty behavior are the ones throwing around low blows and childish jibes. Governor Tim Walz, during a recent campaign event, found it fitting to toss a half-baked joke involving J.D. Vance that revolved around unfounded internet rumors. It’s this rich layer of irony that highlights the Democrats’ penchant for psychological projection—they accuse Republicans of being unoriginal and bizarre while simultaneously serving up their brand of absurdity.
Now, the Democrat party appears poised for what promises to be a season brimming with juvenile punchlines. All couched in an attempt to project seriousness on their opponents. Perhaps if they really wanted to appear above the fray, they’d find ways to elevate the rhetoric rather than lower it. With each vulgar jest from the left, expect the barbs to fly freely until Kamala takes the stage and undoubtedly stirs up more controversy. The ticket for that particular show will be all too familiar: crude jokes and drama, with a front-row seat sold to the American public.
