President Donald Trump recently addressed this theory that then-President Barack Obama s barrage of jokes during the 2011 White House Correspondents Association dinner was reportedly what drove him to run for office in 2016 and stop hosting Celebrity Apprentice.
Trump on Thursday phoned into Fox News to sugarcoat his polling numbers and tout the supposed successes of his ongoing war on Iran, when The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld noted that the MAGA leader will be attending the annual dinner for the first time since 2011.
You know, I havent done it because right from the beginning I was treated rather rudely and crudely, said Trump . You know, I won the election in 2016. It was one of the greatest elections ever. And you were all witness to it, and I had great but they were so nasty.
He continued, The press was so nasty, I just so I didnt do it. And you know, there is this theory that I was there while Barack Hussein Obama was speaking, and he was hitting me a little bit. Actually, it was very nice, and I was actually, I loved it. I really loved it.
Obama landed some uproarious jokes about Trump during the coveted gala, mocking the real estate tycoon for his obsession with the conspiracy theory that Obama wasnt born in the U.S. and roasting Trump for being busied by trivial reality television escapades.
After stating Trump is happy to put this birth certificate matter to rest, Obama joked , And thats because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like: Did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?
He then sarcastically acknowledged Trumps credentials and breadth of experience by citing a then-recent Apprentice episode, praising Trump for savvily recognizing a lack of leadership among the shows contestants and firing actor Gary Busey to resolve this.
And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night, Obama jokingly added.
Trump claimed ahead of the 2016 election that he had a great time and was honored that Obama cracked jokes about him and delivered them well, but some key Trump allies and commentators have suggested that evening seemingly sparked motivation for Trumps presidential run. Trump, however, told The Five that in a conversation with his wife, Melania Trump , he shared his thoughts at the time about Obamas comments at the dinner.
I was saying to her, You know, I love this, Im having a good time, because every joke was about me, and I sort of liked it. I can handle that stuff, said Trump. And they said, I was so upset with that evening that I decided that evening to run for president. Whatever, it wasnt.
He added, Had nothing to do with my running for president.
Trump has since tried roasting Obama back, though not to his face ( and to rather awkward results ). Hes also shared an artificial intelligence-generated video of Obama getting jailed, blamed the Iran war on him , and shared a racist video depicting Obama as an ape .
时任总统巴拉克·奥巴马在2011年记者晚宴上毫不留情地嘲讽了《名人学徒》节目主持人。唐纳德·特朗普总统近日回应了“这一说法”——据称正是由于时任总统巴拉克·奥巴马在2011年白宫记者协会晚宴上连番的玩笑，促使他在2016年决定竞选公职并停止主持《名人学徒》节目。
特朗普周四致电福克斯新闻，粉饰其民调数据并吹嘘其对伊朗持续施压的所谓成果。期间《五人谈》联合主持人格雷格·古特菲尔德指出，这位"让美国再次伟大"运动领袖将出席年度晚宴——这将是其自2011年以来"首次"参加该活动。
特朗普表示："要知道，我之所以没这么做，是因为从一开始就遭到了相当粗鲁无礼的对待。" "你们都知道，我在2016年赢得了大选。那是有史以来最伟大的选举之一。你们都是见证者，我本应获得——但他们实在太卑鄙了。"
他继续说道："媒体当时非常刻薄，所以我干脆就没那么做。你知道，有种说法认为我在贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马演讲时在场，他还对我略有抨击。但实际上气氛很好，我其实很享受，真的非常喜欢。"
奥巴马在这场备受瞩目的晚宴上对特朗普大加调侃，他嘲笑了这位房地产大亨沉迷于奥巴马并非出生在美国的阴谋论，还讽刺特朗普忙于琐碎的现实电视节目消遣。
在表示特朗普很高兴"了结这份出生证明争议"后，奥巴马开玩笑说："那是因为他终于能重新关注那些重要问题了，比如：我们是否伪造了登月？罗斯威尔事件真相如何？以及说唱巨星Biggie和Tupac究竟身在何处？"
随后他讽刺性地认可了特朗普的“资质和经验广度”，援引当时最新一集《飞黄腾达》为例，称赞特朗普精明地察觉到节目参赛者“缺乏领导力”，并为此解雇了演员加里·布塞以解决问题。
奥巴马打趣道：“这类决策总会让我彻夜难眠。”
特朗普曾在2016年大选前声称，奥巴马对他开玩笑并"妙语连珠"让他感到"非常愉快"且"荣幸"，但一些特朗普的重要盟友和评论员认为，那个夜晚似乎激发了他竞选总统的动机。不过，特朗普向《五人组》节目透露，他当时在与妻子梅拉尼娅的谈话中分享了自己对奥巴马晚宴言论的看法。
特朗普说：'我当时对她说，‘你知道的，我很享受这个，我玩得很开心’，因为每个笑话都是关于我的，我还有点喜欢这样。我能应付得来。'他还提到：'有人说‘我对那天晚上非常不满，所以当晚就决定竞选总统’。随便吧，根本不是那么回事。'
他补充道：『这与我要竞选总统毫无关系。』
此后，特朗普也曾试图回击奥巴马，尽管并未当面进行（且效果相当尴尬）。他还分享了一段人工智能生成的奥巴马入狱视频，将伊朗战争归咎于他，并转发了一段将奥巴马描绘成猿猴的种族主义视频。
