Oy… Donald Trump’s appearance at last night’s “take two” on this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner went just about how you would guess.
After having to sit through journalists being honored for their work (many covering the Donald’s less than shining moments), he tripped and fumbled through most of his lengthy, unfunny hour+ speech of insults and self-tributes.
One early joke about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did seem to land (that acknowledged the interrupted first run of the meal), but it was downhill from there.
“I hope that everyone finally got to enjoy their entire, very delicious beef tenderloin, very special beef. And I want you all to know that Bobby Kennedy, who’s right here, personally ran over the cow with his car,” he said.

Some of the Donald’s bits falling flat:
🚨WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT
Trump targets Kaitlan Collins saying she shouldn’t have won her “fake award” and says she should “smile more.”
He then jokes that she resembles transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney before going on a transphobic rant. Trump is a sexist disgusting monster. pic.twitter.com/n2hijBVM6h

Trump: “The other day a senator I knew got a text from his wife. 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? Haha.
