Trump is roasted for his fondness for Fox News, the Mueller probe and by a Hillary impersonator parodying 'You're So Vain' as Melania, Ivanka and cabinet members join him for Gridiron dinnernts

Long the subject of barbed tweets from President Donald Trump, members of the Washington press corps have sharpened their wits for musical and rhetorical takedowns of the president.

In a musical skit, a cast member playing Hillary Clinton offered her version of the song 'You're So Vain,' the titled referring to her but her words aimed at the president: 'You walked into my West Wing/My White House or so I thought.

'Your tie strategically dropped below your belt/Your hair it was apricot/I still wake up most nights screaming/With my PJs in a knot/I still have dreams - butlers serving me coffee/My White House coffee.'

[question everything]

1. I thought that this is an event when the president is skewering the press

and decided not to bother to watch.

Is the press now doing the skewering?

4. What you're speaking of is the White House Press something or other.

It was never called Gridiron. I've never heard of a Gridiron before. Is that new?

6. Gridiron is the oldest of them

But they don't televise it.

7. Is 1885 new?

The first Gridiron event was then. My dad was president of the Gridiron Club while Clinton was president.

The White House Correspondents Dinner is something else entirely.

8. Quite the opposite! The press skewers the president and he is expected to play along

Clinton was a master of that, and had the room eating out of his hand. He even had Gingrich rolling with laughter.

2. $8000 for a dress!

Almost makes Carson's dinner set seem reasonable. If these assholes can find a way to spend, they will.

Remember Brewster's Millions? It's kind of like that except I think they are trying to spend as much as possible before they get carted off to prison.

5. I think Ivanka's cost more than that.

That ad is for a dress "like" Ivanka's. Well, they're very rich, so that's the way they live, I guess.

11. Sure looks that way

Lock them Up!

[flotsam]

3. Show us a picture of Trump laughing out loud

as they tell jokes about him..........I didn't think so!

[DFW]

9. No pics at Gridiron period

That's the one thing that is not allowed. No recordings, no photos, except for the one the White House photographer takes with POTUS, the VP (if attending), and the president of Gridiron (with family). Mine still proudly hangs on our wall, but that is because my dad was president of Gridiron while Bill Clinton was in office.

10. VERY VERY VERY OBESE

[question everything]

12. And I was starting to plan dinner

this just made me nauseous.
