Can't you just imagine his face turning beet red from anger? Lol.

So is pointing out that Trump is in collusion with the Russians considered ribbing or a personal attack by the Trumpettes?

You seem to have missed the fun when Bush was POTUS.

Trump has no sense of humor, takes himself way too seriously and is a major snowflake. He is the only reason it would not be fun. Trump is a huge buzzkill and wet blanket.

"...Following the annual awards dinner of the White House Correspondents Association held on April 29, numerous news outlets trumpeted President Bush's performance at the event...."

It is really too bad no one has a sense of humor in Washington these days, the Press or Donald. There is only bad blood among all concerned, so not much reason to attend a mean spirited, humorless event unless one is a masochist.

You or I would not put up with this either. Why give legitimacy to people who don't deserve it.

What about all the personal attacks he hurls at people? That's ok by you, huh?

He cannot tolerate the slightest comment that isn't adulation. The guy's NUTS.

I have laughed at myself plenty of times. My ego isn't that feeble.

[MOD CUT/inappropriate] you've never seen a Dean Martin roast? Look them up in YouTube. They're hilarious!

That's already happened. He came back BEET RED when the President of Mexico told him they weren't paying for the wall and Trump could shove it up his nether regions.

Even three layers of Day-Glo Orange #7 couldn't cover up the red.

He's just upset because he was told that he won't be able to do his impression of a physically handicapped journalist again. It's no fun for him if he can't be himself.

I'm glad Trump doesn't feel the need to hang out with those idiots.

Bannon doesnt want him to have any non-confrontational interaction with the media.
