Its been really another calm week at the White House. We finally have it running like a fine-tuned machine. Its fine-tuned. Its a beautiful piece of work. … But before I get started, I wanted to apologize for arriving a little bit late. You know, we were late tonight because Jared could not get through security. … Ivanka, you’ve got to do something, … Jared but I will tell you, hes a good guy. He has suffered. He is a great guy he really is.
I know the Gridiron is really an old tradition in Washington, been around a long time, and one that’s important to many of you in the media.

Trump great lines: DRAIN THE SWAMP, LOCK HER UP, BUILD THE WALL. Pelosi’s great line: MOW THE GRASS. That’s hysterical!

“...in preparation, I did what any good late night comic would do these days. I called Chuck Schumer and I asked him for some talking points.”
Kimmel’s gonna cry.
Love it!!!!

Trump knows how to do a roast.
You gotta love it!
