The Baby News Network (BNN) is a comedy channel on YouTube that features as its centerpiece Baby Trump. And as far as I can tell it is the solution to the plague of depression that has engulfed our times. It’s just absurdity piled on absurdity but the smile it produces is certainly real.
I noticed this about Trump back during his first campaign. His bluster and exaggeration are hilarious and actually endear him to the voters. I mean, it’s obvious he’s talking trash and employing P. T. Barnum tactics in almost every circumstance imaginable. But the fact that he is doing it against the people who hate us and, in our defense, makes it enjoyable. And the fact that we don’t hold his trash talk against him drives his opponents crazy. I once had a leftist get exasperated when she pointed out he was exaggerating some accomplishment and I started laughing about the story. I told her that the exaggeration was what made it fun. She just walked away shaking her head.
And this kind of humor always appealed to me. In fact, back during his first term I used to do some Trump humor. But the funny thing is the reality is usually funnier than the stuff I’d make up. So, I watch some of the BNN whenever I see something that strikes my funny bone. Of course, it doesn’t solve any of the real problems we have fighting against the Left day in and day out. But laughter is valuable. Enjoying something witty is helpful. So, I’m linking these videos to help lift the mood of the people who come here to find something interesting and hopeful.
I hope someone enjoys at least one of these.
