The horse is loose in the hospital again

My response to the event I was pointedly ignoring yesterday like I did in 2017 is to flash back to a sentence from 'SNL' told funny but scary stories about the election on Halloween, "I was half expecting Mulaney to mention Trump being a horse loose in a hospital, but after Trump actually being admitted and then leaving Walter Reed Medical Center, I think that joke has left the barn." Well, the horse has returned, so it's once again time for There's a Horse In The Hospital | John Mulaney | Netflix Is A Joke.

Follow John Mulaney, or the news, to see what the President, hippo, and bird do next.

Watch John Mulaney: Kid Gorgeous at Radio City, only on Netflix...

Breaking News: The President Is A Horse | John Mulaney | Netflix Is A Joke
This video cut off the routine a little over halfway through, so here is the complete audio for There’s a Horse In The Hospital.


I can hear why Netflix cut the end of the routine off, although it's still darkly funny.* Also, we now know what the horse can do and he's learned to do more and turned it into campaign "promises" (more like threats that he intends to carry out and some of which he already has). YIKES!

I conclude with a video from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, John Mulaney: Trump Is 'A Horse Loose In A Hospital'.

'Oh Hello' star John Mulaney has a metaphor for Trump's presidency that you probably haven't heard before.
My comment on this video four years ago was "Now the horse actually is in a hospital, although I don't know if that's funny." Maybe not, and he's only in a metaphorical hospital now, not a real one, but laughing hurts a lot less than crying, so laugh I will.

*By the way, John Mulaney's wife then isn't his wife now. In 2018, he was married to Anna Marie Tendler, who actually is Jewish. They got divorced in 2022. He's now married to Olivia Munn, who is Asian-American, so that part of the routine no longer applies.
