Trump still butthurt about being roasted at 2011 Whitehouse dinner

President Donald Trump recently addressed “this theory” that then-President Barack Obama’s barrage of jokes during the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner was reportedly what drove him to run for office in 2016 and stop hosting “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Trump on Thursday phoned into Fox News to sugarcoat his polling numbers and tout the supposed successes of his ongoing war on Iran, when “The Five” co-host Greg Gutfeld noted that the MAGA leader will be attending the annual dinner “for the first time” since 2011.

“You know, I haven’t done it because right from the beginning I was treated rather rudely and crudely,” said Trump. “You know, I won the election in 2016. It was one of the greatest elections ever. And you were all witness to it, and I had great — but they were so nasty.”

He continued, “The press was so nasty, I just — so I didn’t do it. And you know, there is this theory that I was there while Barack Hussein Obama was speaking, and he was hitting me a little bit. Actually, it was very nice, and I was actually, I loved it. I really loved it.”

Slob can dish it out but turns into a whiney little boy when it's thrown back his way.

He's still smarting over the mashed potatoes someone dumped on his head. You better believe he's smarting over the Correspondents' dinner.

Is that he only does the correct thing on very rare occasion and almost always after reversing course due to a PR disaster, the latest trying to sign an order to pay TSA agents when all of this could’ve been avoided by his nonsense or even last year if Republicans could’ve funded TSA agents the way they’ve funded the secret police thugs.

I’ll admit, I had no idea how many million people could be conned in this country, let alone twice, but the felon will forever be rendered poorly in history.
