A lot of comedy comes from situational absurdity of unexpected actions, and there is nothing that kills the joke faster than to realize that they are not pretending. It was funny at first when a boomer (Ok, elder Gen X) billionaire started posting bad middle school humor on Twitter, it immediately stopped being funny when it turns out his real maturity level never got past middle school.
Which is also why Trump is such a black hole for comedy, you just can’t make fun of him, because any absurd and ridiculous thing you can think of him doing, you would expect him to actually do it.

If a sketch comedy group ever does another Trump sketch, I think the best one would be to make him seem like Sherlock Holmes behind closed doors. I mean a posh English accent, a big and sophisticated vocabulary, and an obviously sharp mind. Then have him leave the room to do a press conference and put on the idiot persona, then come back and back to his “true” self.
I think that’s the only thing that would be absurd and ridiculous: he’s actually very smart and sophisticated, not just a buffoon.
He’s just not funny.
