        How is it not at his expense, to make a joke that some women would rather have the money than their husband back?

      I don’t think it’s at his expense? The idea is that the deceased and his widow were in love and would value each other more than money:

      ‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’

      whereas he claims that some people in the audience would be thrilled to trade their spouses for money.

        Trump is using the widows response to her husbands death to deliver a joke. Trying to make the whole thing funny.
        How is that joke not at their expense, when it’s built on their situation?
