64 Conan O'Brien on comedians attacking Trump: "I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny and you've exchanged it for anger… If you're a comedian, you always need to be funny."

He didn't say he likes Trump now.
He said devoting your whole monologue to hating him is old-hat now, not funny anymore--not that it ever was.
Speaking as an ex-leftist, it's still more self-awareness than most so-called comedians.
Yeah at this point it's the equivalent of black comedians doing the "white people talk like this" bit. Right or wrong, good or bad, ever funny or never funny, it's 100% played out and not funny now.
