Trump on WHCD jokes against him: ‘Is there anyone else they could talk about?’

On Fox News on Sunday, Donald Trump responded to the barrage of jokes hurled against him at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which Trump attended.

While he expected some ribbing, Trump said he had no idea that he would be nearly the “sole focus” of the evening’s attacks.

“I really understood what I was getting into, I didn’t know that I’d be virtually the sole focus, I guess when you’re leading in most of the polls that tends to happen,” Trump said. “I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke. It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about? So in a certain way I was honored, but you know again the economy is having such a, it’s going through such a traumatic period, I was thinking to myself, it just seems inappropriate.”

President Barack Obama poked fun at Trump, who was the most prominent critic of the president’s refusal to release his long-form birth certificate in the weeks before the Obama ultimately opted to do so last Tuesday.

“No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald,” Obama quipped at last night’s dinner. “That’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like: did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”

Comedian Seth Meyers also targeted Trump during his act, saying, “Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising. I just assumed he was running as a joke.”

But Trump fired back at Meyers as well on Sunday.

“I thought Seth Meyers, frankly his delivery was not good, he’s a stutterer and he really was having a hard time,” Trump said on Fox News.
