AIBU to find Dawn French's latest Trump comments more sad than funny?

I can't link Dawn French's latest rant, about Trump, but, if anyone else has seen it, do you find it funny. Or just feel very sorry for her?

Can you at least give us a clue what she said?

LorenaWood · 15/09/2026 09:00

What am I a mind reader

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 15/09/2026 09:00

Hard to comment when we have no idea what was said.

PineConesAndBerries · 15/09/2026 09:02

What did she say?

Thinkofnewthings · 15/09/2026 09:02

Why do people write silly posts like this? Why can’t you just say what she said so we know what you’re talking about.

The baby voiced TikTok about Trump? It’s just bizarre.

A bit strange but he deserves it and prison

i don’t think it’s funny. It’s a bit lazy if it’s supposed to be comedy. Politically she’s probably not far off the mark. I think its inconsequential really rather than sad.

Additup · 15/09/2026 09:14

If she's doing it in that irritating child voice she likes to do then I'm not interested in listening.

What??? At least provide a link please.

She makes an absolute tit of herself eveytime. All that gurning and the baby voice just why Confused

I thought it was funny. The USA has a sitting president who shits his pants on the regular.

Making fun of him is not sad, it's justified.

Thinkofnewthings · 15/09/2026 09:20

What does it say? I don’t have X.

runnerducky · 15/09/2026 09:23

I don’t have X either but it just opens in browser for me.

It’s just her putting on a baby voice and saying Trump is wearing a nappy and stuff.

Making fun of him is fine. She just makes herself look stupid in the process.

Not suprised to hear these kind of remarks as you hate him.

Is this it?

It’s weirdly difficult to find.

Thanks for the link.

I would never have even recognised Dawn French actually.

It's not funny, very strange, and she comes over as someone who has mental health issues

I'm all for calling Trump out but I don't think this is the way to do it.

You think it's ok to make fun of anyone who is incontinent?

Show quote history

His erratic and bullying behaviour, combined with his enormous power, means a lot of people hate him to be honest.

I think you're unreasonable to take celebrities seriously. They say things to get press and try to be relevant. They are going to say some out of pocket bull 💩

You putting energy into her comments is basically doing the work for her PR team.

It's not great, is it? I can't imagine recording it, watching it back and deciding to post it. I wondered if she was drunk.

Mistachio · 15/09/2026 09:40

Trump is orange and not very bright. Yawn. Does she also make fun of his hair? I couldn’t bring myself to watch it all. She’s embarrassing.

cauliflowercheesey · 15/09/2026 09:41

Is it actually her? Doesn’t seem like it’s posted on her account?

Maybe she posted it then took it down?

Either way I don’t really have an opinion. I share her psychological assessment of Trump, her impression is not that funny to me, but I’m not offended on his behalf or anything. Why do you care?
