the most devastating line in Obama's Trump roast

and it sounded like it wasn't even meant to be...

But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. (Laughter.)


but actually the intended part of that was pretty ruthless, the way he elaborates on Trump's clown background in such detail. To have the President of the United States mock you for how trivial you are, especially after your attacks on Obama's own intelligence? That's gotta hurt:

But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. (Laughter.) For example -- no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice -- (laughter) -- at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team cooking did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn't blame Lil' Jon or Meatloaf. (Laughter.) You fired Gary Busey. (Laughter.) And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. (Laughter and applause.) Well handled, sir. (Laughter.) Well handled.

Seth made it explicit in his speech: "When I heard you were running for president I was surprised that you were running as a republican ... I just figured you were running as a joke."

Trump--not amused.

I expect him to fire Meyers on his show tonight.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

There's a clip in the political videos forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x579691

I didn't watch the whole thing, but when they ask him his reaction to being roasted by Obama, he said something along the lines of "I thought the delivery was good -- Seth Meyers's delivery was not good. He stutters. He has a real problem."

:rofl:

Yeah, I'm sure it was his delivery you didn't like. Actually, his delivery killed ... (your presidential ambitions :eyes:)

I felt badly for anyone sitting close to him, as I'm sure they thought their lives were in danger.

further into his Clown Throne. He looked like a constipated ape...:D

what they would tell their friends and associates after the dinner. Meanwhile, it looked like Trump was consciously trying to take up as much space at the table as he could - he may be ridiculous, but he is rather LARGE.

that was the theme: Trump is comic relief.

Trump was a Dem. until just recently. The "running as a joke" was what everyone must've been thinking. It was GREAT that he had to sit there and take it.

I just know he could feel Trump's rage as he said it. I almost expected Meyers to duck.

A thing of beauty!

Said it all.

Brutal. :evilgrin:

"In case you needed clarification on what I meant by carnival barker..."

Dressed The Donald down but good.

Trump earned it especially after revealing how poorly he would handle foreign policy. His spoils of war stance is remarkably boneheaded.

there was a very special role for Gary Busey.

I see him fuming and stewing about this, getting himself all worked up. For an egomaniac, those were some pretty hard hits - I think he will try to get even somehow. Have no idea how he would do that, but I don't see him as the type to let this go. :scared:

Obama told Trump to get his shinebox, as discussed here:

Don't think he is capable of it. Unfortunately for him, he will just make a bigger fool of himself when he attempts to retaliate. Eventually he'll be saying, "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me....." but there will be no one there.

If they ever make a movie about Trump, I wonder who would play him. :popcorn: Oliver Stone definitely should direct it.

Donald Trump. I'd vote for Donald Duck any day. Scrooge for Secretary of the Treasury!

They represent 2 distinct groups of a formerly unified Republican party. Notice Rove and T-Party fringies are always throwing barbs at each other? Rove is out of the loop for 2012, much to his annoyance. He thinks the T-Party is dumb as hell but the irony is that he helped to create them.

Be suspicious, things arent what they appear. Of course Karl is on the outs with the wack-a-doodles currently running the republican party. He is setting them up for a huge fall.

Most decent Republicans are voting for Obama in 2012 because he went right to pick up their votes and the Republicans got nothin. But one day, doesnt look like it will be 2012 (but there is still time) Karl, with the unlimited financial backing of Citzens United will come back with guns blazing. No holds barred he will discredit/destroy the Democratic candidate and the TeaParty, and then bring out Jeb Bush on a white horse. Jeb will be the savior of the good-ole-boy, compassionate conservative Republican Party. Those on right of center will be flocking to go back to the good old days of conservative rule like Reagan.

If that will take audacity, that's one thing Karl has plenty of.

I'd be hard pressed to think that Americans would ever put a Bush in the W.H again.

You can trust him as much as Obama trusted the Pakistanis.

was even more devastating than the line itself.

It's difficult to recover any dignity when everyone is in on the joke that you've become.

but he brought all this upon himself with his ridiculous and racist comments.

Trump owned and destroyed.

One of the best of the night.

:rofl:

Good skewering by President Obama and well deserved.

While scrolling, sorry!

That part was just brutal. Trump deserved it and much more for his cynical use of a lunatic claim about the birth certificate and his follow up, the race card, regarding the the grades. The lines are very funny and the delivery was perfect.

at the White House?

Trump roast. :beer:

Yummmmmmmm!!!

Was it served cold?

:headbang:

his dry delivery is so very excellent. REALLY enjoyed his schtick at the WHCD! Also loved the Donald's (blech) reaction. Very telling - those who can't laugh at themselves... sheesh!
