Comedian Patton Oswalt is no fan of President Trump, and while his day job is performing comedy, acting and writing screenplays, he’s also made quite a name for himself as a prolific Trump-troll. Almost daily, Oswalt reaches out to his 3.5 million followers to blast the president.

On Tuesday night, Donald Trump gave a speech to the members of Congress, and while a lot of analysts have declared the speech as the first appearance of “presidential Trump,” Patton wasn’t having it. In fact, he started right off-the-bat with the jokes.

He also realized rather quickly that drinking games during a joint session speech are not a wise idea, since members of the House will applaud absolutely anything.
Oh shit I shouldn't have pledged to drink every time there's tentative applause. #JointAddress

Oswalt also lampooned Trump’s tendency to romanticize the Colonial era.
"250 years ago America was a wilderness full of frightened, violent lunatics. We have 9 years to return it to that state." #JointAddress

Trump’s policy outlines were a bit vague, and, of course, Patton bit.
He's going to do stuff to fix things! This detail-heavy wonk is impossible for me to follow! #JointAddress

Patton (and many other comics and actors) take a special joy from labeling Trump a “draft-dodger,” and a lot of them were a bit taken aback when he honored the wife of a fallen Navy SEAL despite having dodged the blame for his death only hours earlier during a Fox interview.
I cannot STAND draft-dodgers sending men to their deaths and then exploiting the grieving aftermath. Fuck you, Donald. #JointAddress

I'm so angry I'm literally nauseous. That man's sacrifice deserves a deeper tribute than this self-satisfied limpdick. #JointAddress https://t.co/1krwA7eALS

And, unsurprisingly, he ended his Twitter-storm exactly the way you expected.
Our President sucks. Good night. #JointAddress
