In a delightful twist of irony, Richard Marx recently turned a political faux pas into comedy gold on Twitter. Following President Donald Trump’s press conference with Vladimir Putin, where he awkwardly claimed he “misspoke” about Russian interference in the 2016 election, the internet erupted with jokes. Trump’s “I would” was quickly transformed into “I wouldn’t,” leading to collective groans and laughter as people tried to wrap their minds around the absurdity of it all.
Marx, the iconic 80’s singer-songwriter, couldn’t resist chiming in. He tweeted, “I misspoke. I meant to say I ‘wouldn’t’ be right here waiting for you.” The humor in his post resonated widely, pushing the internet into a frenzy of hilarious responses. If you haven’t yet heard “Right Here Waiting,” a classic from his album Repeat Offender, you might want to give it a listen.
In the midst of the chaos, Trump had remarked, “My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Shortly after, he tried to clarify his statement, emphasizing that he actually meant to say he didn’t see why it wouldn’t be Russia involved in the election. Oh, thanks for clearing that up, Trump!
The wave of humor didn’t stop with Marx. Others jumped in, poking fun at Trump’s blunders, which include everything from reading notes with empathetic phrases when addressing Parkland survivors to staring directly into an eclipse. If only these moments weren’t so dangerous, they’d be outright hilarious.
