I really don't like "humor" that consists of mocking the target's appearance. When Seth Myers says, "He looks like..." I wince. When Colbert says, "HUD Secretary and man who..." I flinch, and let's not get into the characterization of Jeff Sessions as a malevolent Keebler elf cookie. I'm not handsome myself, though I hope I look benevolent, and I think mocking someone for their looks and Trump mocking that reporter for his handicap is a difference of degree, not kind.
That being said, I was reduced to helpless giggles when Colbert referred to Alex Jones as, "...man whose porn name is Lance Boil."
(Yes, yes, I could stop watching comedy clips on YouTube...)
