As of Sunday night, C-SPAN’s video of the White House correspondents dinner has already racked up over 1.3 million views. With a stoic Donald Trump in attendance, it was made for social media (here are all the tweets). Here’s the video raw clip with Obama’s remarks:
“You, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership,” Obama said. “And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meat Loaf. You fired Gary Busey. These are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir.” Following Obama, SNL’s Seth Meyers took the stage:
“The New York Times [after-party] used to be free, but apparently there’s a cover now,” Meyers joked. “So like everyone else, I will probably go to the Huffington Post party. And the Huffington Post is asking people to go to other parties first and steal food and drinks.”
