Criticism of Donald Trump over jokes at NYC rally is 'silly and baseless'

Former US commerce secretary under Donald Trump Wilbur Ross discusses criticism of the former president over comments made at his NYC rally.

Asked whether Trump should condemn the remarks, Mr Ross says "I don't think that he has to comment on everything every comedian says, how about all the left-wing comedians who mock him at every rally?"

Trump blocked help for Puerto Rico in 2017. It's a demonstrable fact, so why did Sky not shut down the interview after 5 seconds?

[laurasands]

Really? People should not believe the words they heard?

[beatofmysteps]

the guy who blocked aid to puerto rico calling it a floating island of garbage in his rally as a "joke".
can u blame puerto ricans for losing faith in the guy?

Ignorant people takes no responsibility for anything what they do is making excuses just like this old man.

[michaelkay]

No, it is not silly and baseless. The comments were vile (and counter-productive). If they had been funny, he might have an excuse, but there was no humour here at all.

That was the crypt keeper from tales from the crypt

[URBeingLiedTo]

It's ok for people to find jokes funny or not funny. Treating jokes as serious comments is a sign of a weak mind though.

What a disregard for others naturality. So disrespectful and insensitive

[davidmasters]

It's a matter of judgement and suitability to run the country. If they can't vet which people represent them now what's going to happen if he wins?

Tariffs will be inflationary ..Full stop

[PickleThePig]

Wow some of the re ta rd ed comments from the left are amazing 😂

[FrankTovey-jm]

Silly and baseless? Well I can't laugh with stuff like that AT ALL. Trump is a fascist and people like that should be locked up!

At a recent Harris rally a comedian said he hoped Trump didn’t leave all the materials for the border wall with Mexico lying around “or they’ll be stolen by morning” - that was fine, obviously.

[kevperspective]

TRUMP DID NOT SAY THE JOKE! A comedian who is half puerto rican said the joke! Yall are so weak and easily offended. 😂

[CliveGulch]

Thought that the display of a rotting corpse on TV was against Ofcom regulations

[Jacqueline-zv]

Old man get your info straight lies lies lies !!!

[thespicypimp]

Words from one of "them, " so what would one expect? And I'm not even a Harris supporter.

[GM-oivg]

[owensnelten]

Those same comments were against Italian and Irish immigrants in the 1900s and 1800s, Wilbur Ross forgot to tell us why Trump 4 hrs later during the same rally rebuff or correct those sentiments shared. It wasn’t only the comedian, there were vile comments made by other speakers during the night.
