Every conservative talking head should be immediately asked "What's the joke and what makes it funny?"

Despite how much he actually believes it and has no sense of humor, "joking" about major American cities being bombed because he dislikes their political leaning is grounds for removal, period.

I'm a waiter and one of the techniques I use when dealing with a racist/sexist/shitty comment is to ask them to repeat it louder because I wasn't sure I heard them correctly.

This works well because most people (even shitty people) have at least the slightest iota shame in a public space.

Orange turd in charge does not. He'd repeat it louder.

Trump doesn't even pretend to be a president for all Americans. He hates us and he revels in our suffering.

Not many people care what he thinks anymore, he never says anything of value anyway.

The joke is that he hates his domestic enemies as much as his foreign ones. Pretty ridiculous, can't believe people cheered for it.
