Mr. Trump’s sense of humor is about as sharp as a soup spoon.

At roasts, the “guest of honor” gets to give a rebuttal — written by professional comedians — to the people who have spent the past hour raking him over the coals. While most guests of honor will be good-natured about poking fun at themselves, Mr. Trump was not, according to Mr. Joyce. He said the writing team would send potential jokes to Mr. Trump, and the script would come back with the punch lines blacked out with marker.

“He would literally send it back redacted, like a real estate contract. I’ve never seen anybody do this before,” Mr. Joyce said.
