Obama has made a habit of delivering killer White House Correspondents’ Dinner speeches over the years, and given that this weekend was his last he didn’t hold back.
Of course Trump would be the main and most obvious target, although he made sure everyone took a few jabs to the midriff.
You can see the highlights reel up top, with the Wall Street Journal having this to say:
President Barack Obama used his final appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to chide the press for its flood-the-zone coverage of Donald Trump and to mock the celebrity-studded dinner itself on Saturday night.
Mr. Obama unloaded a series of jokes about Mr. Trump, the Republican front-runner, who declined invitations to attend the event…
The president closed his speech by literally dropping the microphone: “I have just two more words to say: Obama out,” he said.
If you have half an hour to kill (the wheels are spinning slowly, it may help you look busy) go ahead and watch it in full below:
That ‘drops mic’ at the end – boom, well played sir.
