So, starting with this is as good a place as any.

I sat next to Donald Trump at the infamous 2011 White House correspondents’ dinner

What no one in the crowd knew until the next day was that even as he joked, Obama had authorized the secret raid that took out Osama bin Laden.

“Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald,” Obama said. “And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter — like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”

Then he turned serious: “But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. For example — no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ — at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir. Well handled.”

Then it was Meyers’s turn. The SNL veteran launched into what was essentially a 20-minute “Weekend Update” segment, with withering jabs at all. By the time he got to Trump, he was lobbing jokes like grenades:

2022 White House Correspondents' Dinner

It's long and somewhat boring, so start at about 43:00. Listen to this part with what's happened with Fox News in mind. Joe Biden is next.

Why didn’t Donald Trump ever attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as president?
The annual event allows politicians, journalists and celebrities to share an evening, but the former President was not impressed with jokes at his expense.

Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.
