It appears as though Donald Trump can dish it out but he most certainly cannot take it. At the White House Correspondent’s dinner this Saturday, Obama whimsically took some jabs back at the Donald. Trump said his peace all over the media regarding his concerns over the birth place of the President. At the dinner it was finally time for Donald to shut his big mouth and listen. Being as Trump has no sense of humor and can never let himself be the butt of a joke, he gave almost no reaction to Obama's joking. The President went so far as to show a clip of “his birth video” and then proceeded to present a clip from the Lion King. It was pretty funny stuff. This proves once again, well at least to me, that President Obama is a very charismatic man. Trump wasn’t the only one he aimed is jokes at, however. Facing the news that actor, Matt Damon, was “disappointed in the President’s performance,” the President retorted “Well Matt, I saw Adjustment Bureau…and the feeling is mutual." Obama has integrated pop culture and celebrity in a very intelligent way throughout his campaign. When he integrates jokes into speeches or makes popular culture reference he becomes more acceptable to the American public and I think most people truly appreciate and respect that.
Here is a clip from the beginning of the Correspondent’s Dinner:
