Here's what made Trump hate Obama so much--The W.H. Correspondents Dinner:

[panader0]

With Obama delivering the digs and the entire crowd laughing at him:

[Funtatlaguy]

1. Several reporters have said that this is what

Made Trump decide to run for Prez.

[elleng]

2. Right, he can't take his own 'medicine.'

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

65. Just what I was thinking. I guess it's typical of bullies.

Thin-skinned and whiny when they get the tiniest dose it.

[NCjack]

3. My favorite roast ever. Thank you Barack. nt

[brush]

4. O absolutely destroyed trump with his sly humor. trump is still trying to get back at him.

[Turbineguy]

26. The best revenge would be to succeed at being President.

Something he seems to be incapable of doing.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. "And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night."

How prescient.

[Roy Rolling]

25. It was a tough decision

Little John was a calming presence in a sea of chaos that was Meatloaf and Gary Busey.

[Solly Mack]

6. Obama wasn't wrong. He called what a Trump presidency would look like.

[cwydro]

7. K and r.

Thanks for posting!

Sadly, it's not as funny now. Sigh.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Not funny at all, considering the fallout from that.

[CTyankee]

31. Maybe Obama thought Trump wouldn't follow through or he didn't really know how

crazy that man has become...

[Pluvious]

45. What got Donnie Two-Scoops in was Putin's fear of Hilary n/t

[cilla4progress]

8. We loved it watching it..

but if this is what it wrought...oy!

Course - story's not over yet. Watching the GOP self-cannibalize. Doesn't get much better than that!!

Must keep our eyes on the long game...even though the short run pain is insufferable...

[lame54]

9. I firmly believe this

[cornball 24]

10. I have thought that as the petty POS can spew it but can't take it! I watched his reaction to

President Obama that evening and could see the venom emanating from this repulsive being.

[smirkymonkey]

42. He is a man who can not laugh at himself or take ridicule lightly.

He was just seething with anger. I get the feeling that this whole "presidenting" thing is just an exercise in vengeance. He is that petty and vindictive. However, he is failing "bigly". He will never measure up to Obama in any way.

[monmouth4]

11. Not a doubt in my mind, this did it..n/t

[VermontKevin]

12. And remember....the entire time, Seal Team 6 was preparing to hose OBL.

The next day the NY media was filled with DJT interviews. Until news came from the White House.

[krispos42]

13. That was extremely well-done by our Last Legit President

The "birth video" was a wonderful touch and Obama speared Trump with precision!

[VermontKevin]

14. Seth Myers, following Obama

[MelissaB]

27. OMG!

Trump was pissed the whole time.

Thanks for this.

[VermontKevin]

28. I remember watching the news the next day. Trump was all over the airwaves, until the OBL news

broke and no one gave a shit about him anymore.

[CTyankee]

47. and Joe and Mika were still orgasmic over him...

now they are SO SORRY and jumping on him every day. Well, Joe and Mika, you were giving him an opportunity to run his garbage on your show, giving him an opportunity to show his shiny ideas...we knew all along he was a fraud, but oh no you guys had to pump him up. You hypocrites!

[Quanta]

30. OMG

He is fit to be tied!

[progressoid]

64. He's got to be ready to explode with all the mockery about him now.

[leftstreet]

39. omg

I'd never seen that

[gtar100]

46. That was a roast!

Seth didn't hold back... all he had to do was tell the truth. But man, that was brutal!

Could see DT was boiling on the inside. He probably felt vindicated by becoming president but that accomplishment is quickly going up in flames considering he cheated to get there and everyone knows it, and he had to appeal to racists, misogynists, and everything that keeps republicans up at night worried about non-white getting more than they.... all these things and more just to get people to vote for him. And now, after six long months, it's obvious to any sane person that he's out of his league being president. To say that he's incompetent hardly does justice to the dangers of the present situation. His mistakes cost people their lives, their families, their earnings, their future. It's tragic that others suffer for the terrible decisions he makes and he suffers so little. He should be roasted like this daily until he gets it through his head that being a good leader actually means making things better for the country, not just for his circle jerk of friends. May he and his cabal know justice.

[TexasBushwhacker]

58. Obama especially liked the joke about " The Blacks" n/t

[VermontKevin]

60. Who says "The Blacks?" other than a complete racist?

[TexasBushwhacker]

63. That's a rhetorical question, am I right? N/t

[janx]

66. "Fox often appears on Donald Trump's head"

Especially that evening! Look at his hair!!

Mean, I know, but yet...

[saidsimplesimon]

15. Well, clarification

requires a slight edit. That man, who is not qualified to address President Obama, started with "race hate" by questioning the President's birthplace, race and religion. I love the way President Obama outshines the best comics and political speakers of his time.

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Excellent point!

[The Wielding Truth]

61. That's what I was going to say. Trump was and is a rabid racist. Barack was hated for being black as

well as being an advocate for the working middle class and poor. Trump hated him because he could not be conned and he did not buy into Trump's lies. Barack knew who Trump was and he called him on it at that dinner,which was his job - to ride the press and his political foes.

Maybe Trump knew then that the Russian oligarchs were going to slide him into office so they could get even with Barack and the US for the sanctions.

He does have that look on his face like. "You just wait. I'll get you."

[MissKat]

16. Trump had already expressed interest

I think he was already planning, but I think this is what made Trumple-thin-skin hate President Obama even more.

I believe we'll find that the Russians had started grooming Donald, that a Worm-Tongue was whispering in the Orange one's ear--"We will make you President."

[jodymarie aimee]

17. very very very

OLD news...

[DallasNE]

18. If It Were Only That Simple

Trump was still in birther mode at this time so the hate for Obama goes back years earlier than this roast. Race hatred is the only logical explanation Trump can have for calling Obama a Muslim from Kenya. And the race card still plays.

[BigmanPigman]

19. I remember seeing this when it was on TV and I definitely noticed

the Donald's reaction. Everyone else was laughing and he just sat motionless and glared. I could've sworn I saw smoke coming out of his ears. This was the final straw and he wanted revenge.

[xxqqqzme]

21. One of my favorite youtube

videos. Watch it when ever the current chaos starts getting to me.

[watoos]

22. I also sincerely believe this;

President Obama humiliated Trump and Trump hasn't gotten over this to this day.

Deservedly humiliated him I might add. The whole room was laughing at Trump.

[malaise]

23. And it's still driving him deeper and deeper into lunacy

That and the facts that Obama was a much better leader and is way more classy.

[HAB911]

24. Laughing at this asshole is THE BEST MEDICINE!

[Quanta]

29. Yep.

You could almost see his lil pea brain explode at one point, right when he starts rocking back and forth. "Being laughed at" seems to be a recurring fear/trigger of his. Note he uses that term quite often. I wish the MSM would give it one more rotation through the news cycle as a question like, "Is this really why Trump ran for President?", just to see what happens in the Kingdom of the Anus Faced Tangerine.

[Cary]

32. Read Joshua Green's book.

[JI7]

33. I agree but he was already a birther before that wasnt he ?

[Steven Maurer]

35. Yes. He was a racist asshole long before Obama made fun of him at the dinner

Unfortunately, the country appears to be full of ignorant racist assholes. Which is why he won.

[Butterflylady]

41. Your half right

being dissed by a black man was just more than he could take.
It was absolutely the dinner that broke the camels back.

[Me.]

57. That's What I Was Thinking

He was a birther long before that dinner.

[bora13]

34. and maybe...

obama and the IC was onto him back then and have been toying with him since they knew the
high-level traitor he was. Maybe they set a trap and Mueller and Co. are making the shit hit the fan.

[dembotoz]

36. The thing about the moon landing is appropriate

A friend of mine spent a couple weeks in Russia a yr or two ago. Included was a train ride to Siberia.. russkies are taught the moon landing is a fraud and she got questions about it. Did Obama know something back then?

[DonaldsRump]

37. The Idiot got what he deserved...he started it all with the birther nonsense

I've seen videos saying that this was the moment that the Idiot decided to run, and great intellects like Omarosa saying that President Obama had no idea what kind of war he was starting with The Donald.

This makes it seem like President Obama was the villain and The Donald is some heroic in taking this night on the chin and then five years later winning the Presidency.

Utter and complete rubbish: the fact of the matter is that the Idiot was the one that started all of this with President Obama with the birther nonsense. President Obama started nothing. However, the beautiful irony is that President Obama's roast was far more truthful than the Idiot's birther tin hat stuff.

I miss Barack Obama!

[Sunlei]

38. The Lion King!

[smirkymonkey]

44. And Trump is The Lyin' King

[LudwigPastorius]

40. Trump certainly is a humorless fuck, isn't he?

The way the crowd laughs at Trump's "credentials and breadth of experience" at 4:10 is beautiful.

And, he just has to sit there and take it like the jabroni he is.

[japple]

43. Here's a great interview Terry Gross (Fresh Air) did with Seth Meyers

http://www.npr.org/2017/06/14/532861051/for-our-30th-anniversary-fresh-air-tapes-live-with-seth-meyers-of-late-night

On making fun of Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner

I saw him three days after, and we were at an event in New York. ... The reason that I found him to be such a fair target that night [of the dinner] was the birther issue — that was what he was loudly championing at the time, which I still, to this day, find to be one of his more disgraceful things he's ever done. So I wasn't just bullying for the sake of bullying. I thought he was, and continue to think he's a bully.

Lorne Michaels, [creator and executor producer of SNL], one of the things he'd always say to you is: Don't tell a joke about somebody where, if you saw them, you would feel you had to leave the room. Be decent enough, if it's fair enough and you believe in it, you shouldn't have to leave the room.

And so I saw him and I walked over and I said, "Hey, I just wanted to thank you for being a good sport the other night." Even though he hadn't been and he had already criticized me. I wanted to give him the chance to have some revisionist history with me. And he did not, and he said: "You were very rude. It was too far, the president was funny. You were too rude." And I said, "Well, it's good seeing you."

But then we ran into each other at the SNL 40th, which I would say [was] maybe only about four months before he announced [his candidacy]. ... It was very crowded, and that studio is very small and I realized — I was with my wife — and I realized we are going to cross in an aisle getting to our seats. ... He and I actually had a very lovely bygones be bygones interaction then, and I think we would be in a perfectly fine place had he not decided to run and win president.

[left-of-center2012]

48. The people sitting with Trump looked afraid to laugh

[Vinca]

49. O has the best sense of humor. I love this. I suspect this is when Don decided to run.

[MyOwnPeace]

50. I agree -----

he was steamed - and perhaps that is when he decided to run.
But seriously, WHO thought it would be successful? Nobody I know.

But he was.

How?

Can SO many be SO wrong?

[underpants]

51. It was before that. Trump was the face of the Birthers. He was tapping into racism

[Warren DeMontague]

53. Yeah, and Obama was fully justified in taking shots at the guy on that basis alone.

But Trump lost it with all these people mocking him openly, IMHO.

[Warren DeMontague]

52. Exactly. I think this was what set him off.

A normal human being would be able to brush it off and take it. Someone especially unable to laugh at themselves might get pissed for a couple days or so.

But Trump is not a normal human being, as we've seen, he's an emotional/mental toddler with a massive case of narcissistic personality disorder.

Unfortunately I suspect this one event spurred him to run as "revenge"/proving something and also drives his unrelenting obsession with undoing everything Obama achieved as a "fuck you".

It would also completely explain the hookers peeing on the bed thing.

[spanone]

55. trump was not amused. i remember watching it live and it was a bit unsettling.

trump doesn't have a sense of humor.

Obama trashed his sorry ass.

[canetoad]

56. I've seen that clip a dozen times

And it hit me, why the vicious hatred of the press.

They laughed at him. Uproariously and at length. Obama made the press laugh at Trump and now everyone in the USA must pay.

[malaise]

59. I watched that live and have watched it several times since

I still crack up.

He was going to show that black man by any means necessary.

[lpbk2713]

62. I remember it well.

Pres Obama did it with class, no hatefulness. Trump would have done just the opposite.

[GreenEyedLefty]

67. I love this cartoon.

Most likely 100% true.
