Trump says jokes about him by Obama, Meyers were 'inappropriate'
The Hill ^ | 05/01/11 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 05/01/2011 5:43:59 PM PDT by ColdOne

Real estate mogul Donald Trump called jokes made about him at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner "inappropriate in certain respects."

Speaking on Fox & Friends on the Sunday morning after the dinner, Trump responded to jokes directed at him from President Obama and comedian Seth Meyers.

"Well, I really understood what I was getting into — I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus," Trump said. "I guess when you're leading in the polls that tends to happen. But I was certainly in a certain way having a good time listening."

While a fair amount of Obama's repertoire was directed at Trump, as was Meyers', there were plenty of other Republicans and Democrats who got teased. Obama also had some zingers for the rest of the likely Republican presidential field, but a lot of his jokes were directed at Trump, who is considering running for president in 2012.

If Trump has any dirt on Hussein, Monday would be a great time to release it.

You can always gauge the level of fear in a liberal by the level of their viciousness. I must say though that Trump hasn’t reached the level of being called Hitler yet, although I’m sure that will come soon enough being that he’s already been tagged the “R” word. I truly hope to God he runs just to tear Mr. Soetoro a new yayhole in a debate, and knowing Trump he definately will after this. Mr. Soetoro: You sir have just made a huge tatical error.

What’s the rush.

Take the communist scumbag down a step at at time.

No need to leave democrats with enough time to prepare an alternate.

DEMOLISH him at the last moment.

Trump has an ego bigger than Odumbo’s and won't forget this.

I agree...

Of course there were no jokes about Obama. Who would DARE make fun of him?
Any other "Dinner" I've seen the President got a great deal of ribbing.....but not this time.

I turned the d@mn thing off as soon as I realized that.

Here's a message for The Donald:.........It will get worse.....much more worse and extremely personal.

You are about to pass through the Gauntlet so be prepared.

I would like to see Donald in the Debates—It would be fun. Palin and Trump double teaming the others with a great deal of focus on Obama. Good TV. Trump at this point in time, is doing a service to the USA.

He has really funny ears — maybe next year they can start with that.

This is Zero's style, he attacks the Supreme Court members during a Sate of the Union, or Ryan or anyone else then when someone says anything against him he cries like a sissy and his minions call the attacker racists. I find his actions cowardly.

for humor to work it has to be based on truth

“joking” that trump is ready to get back what is important: moon-landing conspiracy, area 51, etc was just mean spirited and has no truth and therefore no humor in it

Bullcr*p.

Trump is not thin-skinned.

He’s effective. And brave.

Wanna complain about someone, complain about the silent nobodies who have yet to take the fight to Obama.

You can tell that Trump really got under his skin. Bambi is a sissy and a b*tchy one, at that; Hitler was probably the same. Most megalomaniacs are.
