One of the things we know about President Crimey McPantsshitter is that he brooks no insults (unless he’s in on the joke, a la his Comedy Central roast, which, yes, is a thing the president of the goddamn United States has done). You could make a strong case that one reason he ran for president is because Barack Obama said some mean shit about him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011 and he wanted to destroy Obama’s legacy for it. We know that Obama had other things on his mind that night, like the operation to get Osama bin Laden. We know that Trump was mightily pissed off at all the jokes at his expense all evening. A rational, real billionaire might be able to brush it off, in a kind of “Laugh all you want, peasants. I’m still rich enough to buy your companies and have you fired” way.
