What does Trump’s disastrous White House Correspondents’ Dinner set reveal about his current political standing?

Alexandra Janelli 0:05
Trump took a break from bombing Iran to bomb at the White House Correspondence Center. Take a listen.
Donald Trump 0:10
The day a senator I knew got a text, a great guy, from his wife. And she said, when you get home, I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me. And he said, I can't do both. You know what? In other words, you can't go up the stairs and make love. Does anybody get that? Well, I thought that was actually pretty.
Jennifer Welch 0:37
You know what they say about jokes? If you're explaining, they're not funny. And here's the thing. Can you imagine a White House Correspondents' Dinner where Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George Bush sat there and talked about senators making loves to their wives. I mean, like the word making love should never come out of an 80 year old's mouth, especially one with dementia that is in charge of our nuclear codes. That's just my opinion. I think it is disgusting.
Ryan Beals 1:08
Well, and he goes on to blame the writers of his speech for his failed punchlines. And that is never a good sign of good comedy if you're blaming the writers. And we'll show even more of that as we get more into this video.
Alexandra Janelli 1:23
Well, and this is just what you get when you have a war on comedy, a war on
Jennifer Welch 1:27
comedians. Exactly. The smart people don't want to work for
Alexandra Janelli 1:30
you. Yeah. The smart comedians. I was listening to Midas Touch this morning, and they said, a friend of theirs, he's a Hollywood writer, he said, for years, no one wants to work with Trump. These writers don't want to work with him. So this is what he gets. You can tell.
Jennifer Welch 1:43
And I also just want to point out, of course, it can't be the fact that he's a slurring, sweaty, dementia-ridden slob up there delivering the jokes.

How did Trump’s jokes about Nicki Minaj and “twerking” become a focal point of criticism?

Jennifer Welch 1:53
It has to be somebody else's fault because in this man's mind, he has never been at fault for anything. That's just an aside.
Alexandra Janelli 2:02
Okay, here's the fat slob talking about Nicki Minaj.
Donald Trump 2:06
But after hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, get down, get down. which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking. Do you believe? Get
Ryan Beals 2:18
that. I'm not a psychologist, but I mean, this isn't how I would talk about my own alleged assassination attempt because that's what he's referencing. He's talking about the first White House Correspondence Center, you know, where a shooter came in and he's joking about Nicki Minaj twerking on a table. I'd like someone to look into that, some psychology expert.
Alexandra Janelli 2:42
He also joked about the bulletproof vest when they upped security for this round. He said he didn't want to wear it because it would make him look 20 pounds heavier. So it's all a joke to him.
Jennifer Welch 2:50
Well, because he knows, in my mind, the Butler assassination attempt was not an assassination attempt. It was a campaign stunt. here's the thing about Trump. First of all, I don't want to hear an eight-year-old talk about twerking either. I find it gross. And for those of you wondering, why would Nicki Minaj, who is a career-driven Black woman, be twerking for Trump? The reason is, She paid and bought pardons for Trump from two of her family members, one of whom is like her boyfriend or her husband or whatever. So he's emphasizing just in this joke alone, he's emphasizing he's not funny. He shouldn't be saying twerking because he's too fucking old. And that Nicki Minaj bought and paid for a pardon for her family members.
Jennifer Welch 3:43
So it highlights, again, the corruption of this man.
Alexandra Janelli 3:49
Speaking of, you started to lay these out. The Washington Post kind of laid out his horrible night. It says he told a sex joke and several fat jokes. He called Senator Adam Schiff watermelon head. He went on long tangents.

Why are writers and comedians refusing to work with Trump after the WHCD speech?

Alexandra Janelli 4:02
President Trump's speech at the White House Correspondents Center swerved between jokes that fell flat and flat out insults.
Jennifer Welch 4:10
And, you know, I watched some of it. First of all, he went on and on. He's never found a 15-minute window that he could just get in, get out. He's never heard of the concept, leave them wanting more. It's always drone on until they fall out of their chairs with Borden. But it was the same, you know, Biden insults. It's just the same grievances that he constantly shares. Yet now, instead of alleged violence,
