26 of the Funniest Tweets from October 26, 2023

It didn’t seem as though Donald Trump’s latest court case could get any more comical, but then yesterday happened. After the judge denied Trump’s request to dismiss his civil fraud case, Trump reportedly threw his hands up, said “I’m leaving,” and as a man true to his word, he abruptly left the courtroom. Those in the courtroom were said to have gasped as Secret Service agents chased after Trump for pulling a stunt that took even his own lawyers by surprise. Since there’s no footage of the incident from inside the courtroom, we’re forced to use our imagination to let it play out in the funniest way possible — that is, until this weekend where it’s likely to make an appearance on Saturday Night Live.

While Trump is exhibiting bizarre alien-like behaviors, one Oscar-winning actress is opening up about a bizarre alien encounter she experienced. Goldie Hawn appeared on the Apple Fitness+ show Time to Walk and shared that in her 20s she looked up at the night sky and begged to meet aliens: “I know you're out there, I know we’re not alone and I would like to meet you one day.” That day came just months later, as the Death Becomes Her actress recalled hearing a “high-pitched sound in her ear” before three beings described as “silver in color” with a “slash for a mouth, tiny little noses (and) no ears” appeared before her. When one touched her face, she said it felt like “the finger of God.” The experience stuck with Hawn all these years later and serves as a stark reminder to the actress that “we can never lose our wonder.” 

Over on the timeline, comedy is anything but alien to the posters. Today’s funny tweets include those about office gambling, a dimwitted sundae and a therapist who probably doesn’t date much.
