Inside the Night President Obama Took On Donald Trump
It was April of 2011. For weeks, Donald Trump had been fanning the flames of the 'birther' movement and attacking President Barack Obama on television demanding that Obama produce his birth certificate, implying that he was not born in the United States, and questioning both his religious identity and the legality of his presidency.
But on April 30, the tables were turned. Trump was the recipient of President Obamas jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner and Trump political adviser Roger Stone tells FRONTLINE in The Choice 2016 that the dinner was a turning point for Trump.
'Donald dreads humiliation and he dreads shame, and this is why he often attempts to humiliate and shame other people,' author Michael DAntonio tells FRONTLINE. 'This is a burning, personal need that he has to redeem himself from being humiliated by the first black president,' DAntonio adds in the final moment of the films opening sequence.
Premieres Sept. 27 at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST on PBS stations nationwide." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/watch-inside-the-night-president-obama-took-on-donald-trump/

As ego mania and narcissism exist Kim Jong-un could take lessons from Donald Trump.

I shudder to think what might happen if an Obama or Clinton surrogate said something like that.
