Trump Pushes Back at Prez Jokes
Politico ^ | Sunday, May 1, 2011 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 05/01/2011 10:57:13 AM PDT by kristinn

Donald Trump pushed back Sunday at President Barack Obama for making him the "focus of the evening" in his White House Correspondents' Dinner speech, and laced into Saturday Night Live comedian Seth Meyers as a "stutterer" whose delivery was lacking.

Trump's comments came in a quick phone-in to "Fox and Friends," a day after he sat almost stone-faced while the president and Meyers ripped him repeatedly, to belly laughs from the crowd. People at tables around him gaped at him watching for a reaction, and some of his tablemates wrote on Twitter that it was uncomfortable.

"Well, I really understood what I was getting into — I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus," Trump said. "I guess when you're leading in the polls that sort of thing tends to happen. But I was certainly in a certain way having a good time listening. I don't think the American people are having a good time with $5 gas. ... I was thinking to myself as they were doing this, you know, the American people are really suffering and we're all" having fun at a gala.

"I thought Seth Meyers — his delivery frankly was not good," Trump added. He's a stutterer."

The problem with Meyers’ delivery is he giggles about the joke as he tells it.

It would be cool if Trump challenged the Obozo to a duel, one week from today, high noon on the white hut lawn.

Good. Hit back. Hit back harder, hit back repeatedly. Don’t let the Lamestream Media get their slanders in for free.

obama is going to regret doing this to trump. I’m not a trump fanboy, but it’s unwise to screw with successful motivated people just for kicks

There is one good thing about two thin-skinned narcissists going at each other: neither will relent. Any skeletons that either has will eventually come out and be fair game for ridicule.

JournOlista at pull-it-i-co not reporting that Trump also stated that he had taken the msm away from their constant attacks on Sarah Palin.

More sins of omission.

Trump, the master counter-puncher

George Lopez (who I assiduously avoid watching) does the same thing. Annoying as hell.

And another

Donald Trump Fires Back After White House Correspondents Dinner

###

Excerpt:

He criticizes President Obama for making him “the sole focus” of his speech and calls Seth Meyers a “stutterer.”
Donald Trump has broken his silence on the skewering he received from President Obama and Seth Meyers at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner.

New York Magazine reports that Trump — who sat stone-faced throughout the crowd’s raucous laughter over attacks on his hair, credentials and accent — had little to say immediately following the event.

When asked if he had enjoyed the jokes, he replied shortly, “Not really. Some were fun, but not the greatest.”

Speaking to “Fox and Friends” the morning after the gala, however, the Republican presidential candidate hopeful fought back against the blitz that had left him at a loss for words the night before.

The Greek Chorus attacking the man who has spent his life successfully in the arena.

Probably should say the peanut gallery instead of greek chorus.

In a game of cards that uses trump, any card in the trump suit will beat even an Ace in any other suit. Trump may not be presidential material but to the extent he can puncture the Obama/Rat balloon, I say, more power to him.

Trump is far more presidential than Obama ever will be.

I'd say Obummble is hiding the biggest bone yard.

Excellent. He came back, right away and in a controlled manner.
