Evil can’t stand to be laughed at.
He had run before that roast. But yeah i think it made him hate stand up, and reinforced his drive.

Obeying in advance. Can’t risk upsetting Don Mangolini. The Mafia Bully Admin wins again.

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.
It’s not White House’s Correspondents’ Dinner. It’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The Correspondents organize it. It’s hosted in a Hilton hotel, not at the White house. The White House doesn’t control it in any way. This is simply the press rolling over to appease the fascists because they are scared of losing access.
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
When they hold the neutered dinner, there should be a rota of comics outside doing democracy proud.
he never got over obama roasting him. in anycase, conservatives never could understand how comedy works, because all they do is know how to punch down, and it often comes from bigotry and hateful sources.
