But, according to Aaron Lee, a writer for the roast, there was only one topic that Trump made off-limits.
Lee posted on List a series of joke subjects that Trump "allowed" - ones that actually made it onto the program - with Trump's only objection being the one topic he explicitly held "sacred."
"The only thing we got from Trump was the request not to say he exaggerates his wealth," Lee wrote, adding that it's standard for Comedy Central Roast subjects to deem certain things off-limits.
Here's the full list of what made it on the roast and the one thing Trump forbade:
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump's hair
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump's wife Melania (and his two previous marriages)
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump having sex with models
- ALLOWED: Jokes about the failure of Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Cologne, and other Trump products
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump's failed casinos
- ALLOWED: Jokes about how Trump only became successful thanks to his wealthy father
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump's weight
- ALLOWED: Jokes about Trump being attracted to his daughter Ivanka
- NOT ALLOWED: Any joke that suggests Trump is not actually as wealthy as he claims to be
As Vulture points out, Trump allowed comedian Jeff Ross to say, "The Donald and I have a lot in common: We both live in New York, we both play golf, we both fantasize about his daughter."
But if Ross or Lisa Lampanelli or Seth MacFarlane had joked about, say, Trump's tax returns? That's where our potential next president would have drawn the line.
