Topic: White House Correspondents Dinner

The hosts revisit the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, where Barack Obama and Seth Meyers publicly mocked Donald Trump. They argue this event provided the "ultimate revenge" motivation for Trump to run for president and created a shared animosity between Trump and Black men who felt similarly lectured by Obama.

In 2011, Barack Obama released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii and used the White House Correspondents' Dinner to publicly ridicule Donald Trump. Trump, who was in the audience, was mocked regarding moon landing conspiracies and his reality television career. The hosts suggest this public humiliation was the primary catalyst for Trump's serious resolve to run for president in 2016.
