Evil can’t stand to be laughed at.
It’s quite possibly the reason he ran in the first place lol
He had run before that roast. But yeah i think it made him hate stand up, and reinforced his drive.
Yeah, he ran as part of Perot’s reform party lol
So fragile, they need to be treated very gently

They should have canceled the entire “White House Correspondents’ Dinner” and simply held a completely new event at the exact same time at the same venue with a different name, and kept the jokes at the president’s expense.
Comedy has been banned everyone, time to wrap it up.
This vibe, for lack of a better word, is more important than some may think. Having an official role for poking fun at the government once a year reinforces Democracy and 1A. This is an act that signals to everyone just how ok it is to point out flaws and say what you like about the federal government and the people in it, including the president. To remove the comedy element states the opposite.
I don’t know if there’s a word or phrase for this but it is funny how you’re saying the dinner is important to show that in democracy leadership can take it on the chin. But in this case, this administration is wrecking democracy and can’t handle the correspondence dinner. It’s cool to see how that works in real time
Exactly as intended
If I didn’t know better I’d say the White House was filled with a bunch of thin skinned cry babies. /s

I’m pretty sure that’s how this all started… https://youtu.be/k8TwRmX6zs4
how about we just axe the white house correspondent entirely since they a) won’t stand up for their colleagues and b) won’t stand up to this administration or else they lose access.
the primary reason I stopped watching cable news since the election is the press being less than limp, weak, and feckless when it comes to anything dealing with republicans but somehow find their spines when a democrat is involved.
Once again demonstrating their collective cowardice…
Obeying in advance. Can’t risk upsetting Don Mangolini. The Mafia Bully Admin wins again.
🙄 🙄
Jon Stewart, et al, should host a competing event.
Bunch of wussies can’t laugh at themselves. The collective narcissism is astounding
Because somewhere in their deep recesses, they know just exactly who/what they really are…
So, when it’s pointed out to them, it’s not funny, it’s not making fun.
It’s truth. It’s a reminder.
amber ruffin is incredible and this is going to make a great bit for her
Wittle baby doesn’t want the meany-weany comedian to hurt is fee-fees while he destroys the country.
Trump doesn’t even know what joy is, he can only laugh at cruelty.
Coward press. Have the comedy but not the president.
I think that’s what they did during his first term, right? I remember him skipping the event altogether.
Amber Ruffin is a fucking national treasure.
The American Have I Got News For You is actually awesome IMO.
Totally agree. Needs more viewers though.
This is pathetic. Any respect I had for this group has evaporated.
Bring Obama to just roast his ass for an hour instead. Not much else could get under his skin like that, unless you also get some Trump women to fawn over him the whole time.
