Donald Trump has perhaps not surprisingly skipped all of the White House uh Correspondent Association dinners because if he were to go there, they would make fun of him. And he is a tiny shriveled up little baby boy that can't take when people mock him. But he's actually gonna show up this year for the first time and you might think, my God, is he experiencing growth? Is he developing [00:00:20] self confidence? Is he gonna do like the bare minimum that other presidents did? No, no, he's not gonna sit there and listen to them mock him which. probably isn't going to happen anyway, since they're not allowing comedians anymore. He has one goal in mind when he goes and it is so goddamn pathetic. He apparently plans to launch a revenge attack on the White [00:00:39] House media when he confronts them in person at a Washington dinner on Saturday night, then flee before there can be any revenge. He is expected to target publications that he is accused of writing negatively about his administration and his war with Iran in particular, according to sources. So he's going to show up. He's going to pee his pants over how unfair [00:00:58] everyone is to him. And then he's going to flee out of there as fast as his cankles can take him. So that he doesn't have to hear anyone say anything negative. And again, I don't even think there would be any negative commentary, but he just can't take it. It reminds me of when I feuded with Dan Bongino over the fact that his book was just sold in bundles to think [00:01:17] tanks or whatever. And I pointed that out and he got mad. So he would tweet at me and then immediately block me because he couldn't take what I might say back at him. That is some weak crap, man. You're as bad as Dan Bongino. That's pathetic. But anyway, yeah, it's really sad. I worry that it could go beyond just rhetoric when I hear that he's gonna launch a revenge [00:01:39] attack when he has all the media in one room. I've seen the handmaid's tale. I'm worried about how that might actually go. So, knock on wood, I hope it's just him insulting them or whatever and crying. Anyway, Trump had previously told Fox News, that he didn't attend because [00:01:55] he was unhappy with his press coverage. I haven't done it because right from the beginning I was treated rather rudely and crudely, which he would obviously never do to someone else. The press was so nasty, I just didn't do it. And there's this theory that I was there while Barack Hussein Obama was speaking and he was hitting me a little bit. Actually, it was [00:02:14] very nice and I was actually, loved it. I really loved it. So there's like a theory as if we haven't all seen the video and yeah, no, you had a great time during it just in case you've forgotten this, take a look. No one is happy, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate [00:02:34] matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? [00:02:51] in Roswell. And where are Biggie and Tupac? Say what you will about Mr. Trump. He certainly would bring some change to the White House. See what we've got up there. [00:03:12] oh I'd forgotten about that part. Some of that actually he'd come to pass. He did a lot of cheap tacky gold and he has brought a lot of change to the White House. Obama, who by the way, I was a critic about Obama on a lot of stuff. He is infinitely funnier and more handsome [00:03:28] than Donald Trump could ever dream to be. That was the end of his second term. He looks three years younger than I do right now. And we've got this mess of a hut in the office right now. So anyway. Yes, what do you make of that? What do you make of his revenge tour? What [00:03:45] a loser, what a dork. My God, it's so funny even watching that old clip from Obama's correspondence speech. He just sitting there, his side profile was very strange. His hair was combed over and back and it was very stiff like a helmet. It's not good. It was not good. It was ugly [00:04:04] and he was just fuming. He was there stewing and everything and even Seth Meyers was also there that year and also roasted him pretty hard. And he has taken responsibility for his role in the Trump years that we had to endure since then. So uh it's crazy to think that [00:04:23] something like this actually is what prompted him to run for president. That's what we're dealing with here, okay? Like 100%, I'm sure he had other reasons. I'm sure he like weighed out the pros and cons or whatever. This is why. we had to deal with him. And for Obama, there [00:04:40] was a lot of things that he did during his presidency that a lot of us don't agree with that we weren't fans of, but this is unforgivable. It was fun, but look at what we're dealing with now. This man is out of control. I'm not blaming Obama, but my God, the life we could have had had [00:05:00] this not happen. But it is funny, he also is having Nicki Minaj. with him at the correspondence dinner. That's, guess, gonna be a special guest. uh Cardi all the way is all I can say. Come on. Come that side profile of his hair, that was wild. It's like, know, like pop stars [00:05:20] used to have like the like faux hawk or whatever, except he just did a massive one that's like a battle helmet. And remember in the 90s, they had all these like hair products that were basically like glue and you can just glue your hair into various positions and they would [00:05:36] come in fun colors. Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeah, think. Just went like that. Can we bring up that shot just one more time? Cuz you know how like now he's talking about how the ballroom is gonna have like a drone proof ceiling. I think that is drone proof. I don't think anything's getting through that thing. Anyway, by the way, one of the reasons and [00:05:55] we'll end on this that he's fleeing the room as fast as he can. is that there's going to be an honor given to, it's the Katherine Graham Award being given to the Wall Street Journal for its reporting about the uh hot erotic poem that Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein [00:06:11] for his 50th birthday. And Trump doesn't wanna be around for that.
