I'm going to check off a bucket list item

Let me put it this way - ditch all of those jokes, but one. Any one will do. Then write yourself 3 minutes of heckler put-downs to follow the joke, because I think you're going to need them... 

Bill Maher can go off on rants about Trump every week - because he's a well known comedian and a political commentator, and also he's in a Hollywood studio, in front of a human laugh-track. I don't know what kind of a venue you'll be performing at, but there's a good chance there'll be a drunken Drumpf*ck (or a bunch of them) in the audience, who'll disrupt your set. And the audience will probably be on their side, because everyone and their mother has been doing Trump-shtick for at least a year now - you need to be pretty damn good and have some original insights, in order to make people interested, at this point. And even if you had the best material in the world - winning over an audience of strangers with political humor, in 3 minutes is nearly impossible, especially if a lot of them are other open-mikers and their friends.
