Comedy Clubs Mock America While Trump Restores Order

New York City’s liberal comedy scene reached a new low Friday night as foreign-born performers used the so-called “Immigrant Jam” show to sneer at President Donald Trump’s renewed crackdown on illegal immigration — a crackdown most Americans support as the nation faces historic security threats.

German-born comedian Lucie Pohl kicked off the evening with a smug jab: “Did we get rid of all the immigrants?” A line that drew cheers from Manhattan elites who think mocking American law enforcement is a punchline. Pohl, who proudly admits she wasn’t a U.S. citizen during Trump’s first term, now claims she feels “scared” because the government is finally enforcing immigration laws that millions of Americans demanded at the ballot box.

New York’s new Democrat mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — a far-left Muslim ideologue — was naturally celebrated by the crowd. He has already labeled ICE “reckless,” despite the agency removing violent offenders and human traffickers from American communities every single day. The same ICE agents he attacks are the ones protecting New Yorkers while the city’s radical leadership dreams of borderless utopias.

The comedians, many of whom brag about their foreign origins, used the stage to take cheap shots at the country that welcomed them — mocking Americans’ healthcare, work ethic, and values — all while benefiting from America’s freedom and economic opportunity. One Australian comic even joked about spending two years “proving” she was a real comedian to U.S. officials before being allowed in. That’s not oppression — that’s immigration law.

In a city where Trump’s law-and-order message once resonated loudly, the “Immigrant Jam” crowd applauded jokes about citizenship tests and mocked Americans struggling under Biden-era economic decay. It’s easy to laugh when you’re onstage in a wealthy Manhattan club — much harder for the families in Middle America dealing with the consequences of the left’s open-border fantasies.

The truth? Their humor only works in ultra-liberal pockets like New York — places that elect radical mayors and view patriotism as something to mock. In the real America, beyond the comedy club bubble, citizens are grateful for Trump’s firm stance: protecting borders, restoring law and order, and putting Americans first again.

Comedy may try to rewrite the narrative, but the country has already spoken. And this time, the punchline belongs to President Trump.
