Donald Trump At White House Correspondents' Dinner: Happy Or Unhappy Camper? (POLL)

Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump found himself a prime target for President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Meyers as they delivered their respective speeches at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night.

The president said Trump has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace.

After a week when Obama released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate, he said Trump could now focus on the serious issues, from whether the moon landing actually happened to "where are Biggie and Tupac?"

"No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than 'the Donald,'" Obama said, referring to Trump taking credit for the release of the document last week.

For Trump's decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: "These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir."

And then, as a coup de grace, Obama showed a screen with his vision of how Trump could bring change to the White House. "Trump" was prominently displayed in glittery letters and girls could be seen with cocktails on a Jacuzzi-augmented front lawn.

Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.

"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising," said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. "I just assumed he was running as a joke."

Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the real estate tycoon. Did Trump look like a happy camper to you? Vote below, and scroll down for video of Meyers' remarks, which begin at the 11:55 mark.

The Pres knows how to take a ribbing, tRump not so much. He sat stone faced glaring, guess he didn't like the truth being spoken in front of a crowd. He deserved every snide remark, every funny line, every over the top description of him. He's been dissin the Pres for weeks now it's too bad he's such a bad sport who can't take a joke.

I'm pretty sure it's Trump who's responsible for getting OBL. His brilliant ploy of sending investigators to Hawaii to find the "truth" about Obama's birth, provided the necessary cover for our operatives to fly (via Trump helecopters) to that Pakastani compound (which was developed by Trump as a terrorist trap), and get OBL. Well played, Mr. Trump. Well played.

Trump was not loving it. What little u could see of body language - not happy. Spoil-sport.

It's funny how 2 weeks ago all Trump wanted to talk about was Obama's certificate & now he claims to want to talk about gas prices & the economy . . .

Did you see the look on Trumps face as he was being shanked and savaged by the President and Meyer? Priceless!
Look in a medical dictionary under " Ailments: Sphincter Tightening" and there will be that photo of the Trumpster.

I would not underestimate Trump. He just might be the one to get the last laugh.
WTG President Obama.

Trump has made himself a joke, so now he must live with it. And he will become President when cows and pigs fly.

Trump told Fox News the whole time Meyers was giving his speech all he could think about was the high price of gas and how the American people are suffering for it..................

Yea, right.........more like, "Excuse Me. Excuse Me!!"

No he wasn't thinking that, the look on his face said it all...Meyers showed Trump how ridiculous he was, and Trump didn't like being the one the fun was poked at. When Meyers joked about everyone else it was funny, but when Trump was the butt of the jokes it wasn't.

If you piled all of Trump's buildings on top of one another, his ego would be a little bit taller than that. He can dish it but he certainly can't take it. He had a similar look at the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump, where he was SUPPOSED to be made fun of and couldn't take it.

I am sure Trump thought he would be feared and intimidating in that room. What a complete Bozo!

Absolutely. This household, for one, is not purchasing one more product that sponsors Rumps show. That's how and why Beck is going off the air. Hit them in the pocketbook and they will listen.

there is a partition? do you mean a fartition? or a arsetition? or maybe you just can't spoke very well.

The difference between a guy who's personable and a loser without class sometimes comes down to the ability to laugh at yourself. Don meet failure.

You are absolutely right, you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes. The Donald knew what they did at these correspondence dinners, so if he didn't like it and thought it inappropriate, he should not have come.

Exactly, the Pres was able to laugh at himself, take a ribbing, but tRump takes himself so seriously, believes all his baloney and when called out acted like a 12 year old.
