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

Even mumsnet staff thinks Dawn comes across as mad in the clip 😂 and I agree, or maybe she is drunk like others have said. Something is off about it if it’s real.

I am torn. On the one hand, I loathe Donald Trump. He is the ugly American incarnate. On the other hand, I hate smug, sneering, sanctimonious left-wing celebrities SO much that I enjoy seeing them upset.

I'm glad you did - I was unaware of it. Thank you. Although I wish I was still blissful ignorant, it's so upsetting.

Re this latest "video" - it looks like dementia to me, quite honestly.

ETA: I just looked this up. Apparently she is now experiencing misophonia, which has been linked to an increased risk of cognistive decline.

She's so desperate to be liked, I suppose I should feel sorry for her but her fawning over Palestine and belittling of the "bad thing" (little girl voice, comedy sad face) Hamas perpetrated on October 7th leaves me no choice but to see her as a truly vile and stupid person.
Can't be arsed to listen to her Trump diatribe - yawn a sleb denigrates Trump (while ignoring all the shit the Democrats do)- how brave.

It’s really hard to be funny -even harder for women - so I’d let her off

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I don't think it's OK to mock people for a physical or a mental disability or illness. Personally, I wouldn't do it myself. However, Trump has proved himself to be lower than a snake's belly when it comes to personal attacks, always at the expense of people who cannot fight back, so I really don't care if someone goes as low with him. Not a terribly principled stance, but there you go.

Thanks Ticklish.

Dawn French is obviously massively talented and creative and part of that is her ability to be unfiltered and spontaneous so it means that not every thing she comes out with will be a gem or liked by everyone. It's not sad I don't think.

So you've read the thread and can't see any insults directed at me.

That tells me all I need to know, thanks.

I actually hadn't, thanks. I'd skimmed through pages 3 to 6 of the thread, just picking up on comments that interested me, and not reading every single one.

I have now, working my way through, and no, I can't see anything particularly abusive. Rude? Yes, but then you've been rather rude in places too. Either way, I'm not really seeing the irony myself.

I think it's a little odd that you said that 'the baying mob are out for her blood'. That's really interesting. What do you mean by that?

I struggle to even watch her old stuff now, her video on the Hamas attacks was so repulsive and the baby voice and gurning frankly makes her look unhinged.

I have reported a couple.

The responses you have gotten are alarming, to say the least.

You clearly have read all the posts Otterly, not sure why you're pretending otherwise.

I may not have read that far, as I said. I'll do that.

But I can understand people feeling angry, given that you appear to be minimising French's comments about mass murder, and have cast those who are disgusted by those comments in the role of a 'baying mob'. As I said, if she was in an argument with Trump, I wouldn't blame her for losing her temper, so I'm not sure I see the irony you mentioned earlier.

She sounds drunk to me. Didn’t listen to it all and remembered why I don’t go onto twitter. Thanks 😁

The insults directed at me are up there for you to see. Calling them 'curt dismissals' is minimising.

I wondered that on a few of her recent videos.
She doesn't particularly come across as sober.

I have not seen anything of her in years until watching that, but she sounds really stupid doing that voice. Is it definitely her? It’s really odd.

It is a contentious thread, for sure. Mentions of baying mobs, and dramatics on your part, and curt dismissal on the part of others, where I've read up to.

I do think an anonymous internet forum discussing the rather fraught topic of French mocking Trump, in addition to her mocking a mass-murder, is very different to her as a celebrity putting those videos on social media. If she was in an argument with Trump, I'd understand her losing her temper!

Thankfully, M&S Christmas/New Years offerings have been wild and wacky for a few years, so I can just ignore her stupid fairy wings and boycott them this year.

Well done, Dawn - for taking the 💩 out of a trump.

And believe me, I can't stand him or his politics - or his stupid orange face.

eta I'm being sarcastic, btw.
Dawn was never funny.

I agree, I can't even concentrate on what she is saying due to the gurning and baby voice. I just don't watch her now.

I don't have X, but I can see that the link describes her as saying that he's a breat big orange baby with a diaper on, or some such. I want humanity to criticise his politics, not his appearance or any physocal ailments. There's plenty to focus on with his politics/ethics.

Er, no I haven't. Someone accused me of derailing, I pointed out that I was talking about Trump on a thread about Dawn French / Trump.
