I’m sure you are absolutely shocked to learn that Donald Trump was not amused to be the butt of everyone’s jokes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
At the event, Obama made light of Trump’s repeated calls for him to release his birth certificate, something he did Wednesday, and Meyers made fun of everything from his hair to his presidential ambition. Although Trump appeared unamused during Saturday’s dinner, he said he was honored “in a certain way” to be a focal point.
“I really knew what I was getting into last night. I had no idea it would be to that extent where, you know just joke after joke after joke,” the mogul said. “It was almost like, is there anyone else they can talk about?”
He also found the event “inappropriate in certain respects” and spent the evening thinking about how “the American people are really suffering and we’re all having a good time.”
And what was his assessment of Meyers’ comedic timing?
“His (Meyers) delivery was not good. He’s a stutterer and he really was having a hard time,” Trump said of the “Saturday Night Live” star.
A lot of people think Trump’s flirtation with the Tea Party is some kind of publicity stunt to enhance his ratings for his lousy show. The problem is that his show is losing audience rapidly and his words are having a negative effect on his reputation. I don’t understand why someone with so many branded products would flirt with fringe political beliefs in such a public way unless they were sincere. I guess only time will tell.
