But on this occasion, he seemed self-aware. Finally, Trump seemed to realize that he was naked. (Tom Boggioni)

How about "Laughing Stock" and the #1 result be the Wikipedia page for Donald J Trump?

(3,417 posts)At the Correspondent's Dinner, when Obama told jokes at Donald's expense, one could see his head nearly explode. THAT may have been the event that cemented the plan to seek the Presidency, launch the racist Birther screeds, and undo each and every Obama initiative (including an infrastructure designed to combat pandemics).
Nothing makes him more dangerous than laughing at him.

(10,193 posts)I often wonder how history might have taken a different turn had Obama praised Trump, perhaps even asking him to stand up, take a bow and bask in the applause at the Correspondents' Dinner that night. It will likely be viewed by historians as the seminal moment in America's downfall.

(6,688 posts)This is a loser that only ran for President to try and destroy Obama's presidential legacy, as revenge for the humiliation at that press dinner. This boy ain't right in the head and I doubt ever was.
He's getting his jollies off stirring the shit at the moment. It is unlikely there will be anyone short of mother nature, karma, or god almighty who'll be able to give him his comeuppance on this one.

I find him quite inspiring.
