Because he’s incapable of letting anyone else be the centre of attention, giant man-baby Donald Trump has teed off on comedian Michelle Wolf over her performance at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Wolf has come under fire from a bunch of conservatives, particularly for jokes she made at the expense of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders. “I actually really like Sarah,” quipped the comedian. “I think she’s very resourceful. But she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”

“I’m never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Is it Sarah Sanders, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know, Aunt Coulter.”

Wolf also had plenty of material on Trump, including a recurring bit about his finances.

“Trump is so broke he has to fly failed business class,” she joked.

“Trump is so broke he looked for foreign oil in Don Jr.’s hair.”

“Trump is so broke he had to borrow money from the Russians and now he’s compromised and susceptible to blackmail and possibly responsible for the collapse of the Republic. Yay, it’s a fun game!”

Trump, of course, was too chickenshit to actually attend the event. But you just know he was sitting in his bathrobe in the West Wing watching it on TV.

And based on his tweets, you get the feeling he wasn’t the biggest fan.

Donald, that Seth Meyers roast was seven years ago. Let it go.
