Comics Roast Trump: ‘Escalator Enemy,’ UN Prompter Woes, Comey Gags | CNN2.0

😂 Cold open: an escalator stalls and teleprompter glitches at the UN, as Trump claims “sabotage” on Truth Social and thanks handrails for preventing disaster, sparking a cascade of riffs onstage
🧨 Fox soundbites get lampooned, with hyperbolic talk of “insurrection” and even “bomb the U.N.” used as fodder for punchlines about outrage inflation and performative rage cycles in media
⚖️ The panel pivots to Comey’s indictment: a recap of the Cruz exchange and alleged leak authorization, with jokes about perjury standards and the media’s amplification of Truth Social posts
📱 Accidental “DM” in public: a Truth Social message pressing AG Pam Bondi to prosecute perceived enemies becomes a bit on digital misfires, screenshots, and modern political farce
👩‍⚖️ New prosecutor bit: Lindsey Halligan’s interim appointment draws barbs about experience, résumé spats, and a viral Smithsonian clip on “overemphasis on slavery,” fueling sharp satire about historical framing
🎭 Through‑line: comedians frame escalators, teleprompters, and prosecutions as props in a broader retribution narrative—mined for laughs and media critique in equal measure #RoyWoodJr #Comedy #Trump #Escalator #Teleprompter #Comey #TruthSocial #LindseyHalligan #UNGA #CNN2Point0
