Michelle Wolf Answers tRump Tweet Splendidly





Michelle Wolf won't be making any jokes from the podium at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but last year's host was ready with a one-liner after the president attacked her on Twitter.

Donald Trump, who bashed Wolf relentlessly for her performance at last year's dinner, returned to the theme on Tuesday night after it was reported the annual event would ditch the tradition of having a comedian next year.

"So-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian," Trump tweeted. "Good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition! Maybe I will go?"

The comedian fired back on Twitter, "I bet you'd be on my side if I had killed a journalist. #BeBest," she wrote, in a nod to Trump's support of the Saudi explanation for the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

He would have been on OBL's side and made the same statement defending him after 911, and falsely claiming maybe he did it, maybe not. He likes these types of people. They would have paid him off like the Saudi's are doing now. Putting money for himself first , then claiming he's putting America first is just another con job. He's telling every despot around the world our country is for sale for his own personal profit.

and it wasn't even an insult to anyone with the slightest sense of humor about themselves (or their minions).

"from the ashes of burned facts".

However, I think people may have thought she said "burned FAT" and therefore felt she was calling SHS "fat".

Wicked funny, to be sure, but no holds barred. Pretty sure Sarah whined to her boss about finally, someone telling the truth that she couldn't "bounce". Not sure which one I'd rather see gone her, or The Cretin. That's right, I don't have to choose ... they are BOTH going out to pasture.

…. this actually. Chump making this a "victory" for himself. At least Ms Wolf got one in. I really think the bigger, MUCH bigger story here is how the WH correspondents just rolled over and licked his hand, wagging their tail all the way. Every single one of them should just stay away from the "briefings" or lies of the day that SHS hosts and cancel this dinner too imo. I really hate bashing our (mostly) honest and hardworking reporters but after a certain point...….. I mean goddamn take a freaking STAND for what you believe and what is RIGHT. There's more than enough topics relating to our draft dodger in chief and his minions to fill the papers and newscasts. WHY enable this cretin any further?

and getting a slide show instead.

This administration just CAN NOT TAKE A JOKE. Trump has no sense of humor and proves it every day. If you don't fall all over yourself trying to lick his nuts, you are to be insulted and belittled.

Michael Forbes, the Scotsman who lives on the edge of his golf course and refused to sell to Trumpy, took the piss right out of him and had it right;

While this whole vid is hilarious, the money line starts at the 5:55 mark!
