Waah: Leftists, "Journalists" (But I Repeat Myself) Cry and Seethe Over Trump's Suggestion that CNN's Kaitlin Collins Sorta Looks Like a Transgender Witch

Well he didn't say "witch." I'm adding that.

Dylan Mulvaney Responds After Trump Mocks Her and CNN's Kaitlan Collins at White House Correspondents' Dinner

"To the president, thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew," she said in a video posted to social media.

Oh, snup.

A snup is a failed "snap."

Transgender advocate and actress Dylan Mulvaney has responded to President Donald Trump after the latter mocked both her and CNN's Kaitlan Collins during his speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner on Friday night.

At the event, which had been postponed from April after a gunman fired shots as the first dinner was under way, Trump gave a speech wherein he compared the two women after Collins accepted an award for her working covering the administration.

I completely forgot this was still going on and I had no idea it was going on this past weekend.

"I want to personally congratulate CNN's Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award," Trump said. "It was all about me. It's a fake -- she shouldn't get the award, it was a fake. But I didn't mind. I said, 'Kaitlan, congratulations.' But it was fake, there's no question about it."

After criticizing Collins for her facial expressions, Trump then compared her to Mulvaney, mentioning the 2023 controversy surrounding the latter's Bud Light commercial. Three years ago, Mulvaney made an ad for Bud Light that was met with criticism from conservatives who launched a boycott against the beer brand, leading to a decline in sales.

"I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn't her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney," Trump said Friday. "Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made by the way, for those few people who want to hear that. Most people don't care, but I would. I wouldn't want to hire Dylan any time soon."

Trump posted this photoshop to prove his point:

He roasted the media generally.

"The attempted mass murder at the Washington Hilton-that's what it could have been-was an assault on our democracy itself," Trump said. "A very serious situation. Many of you were there with me, and some showed extreme bravery, like Pete Hegseth, Steve Miller, Tom Holman. Really, they were standing on tables. And most of you were under the table," he said to Friday night's attendees, which got some laughs.

The media remained stone-silent and barely laughed at any of Trump's jokes.

Even the president was critical of some of the jokes when they received no laughs. At one point, he referred to the "governor of Chicago," presumably billionaire Gov. of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, while discussing a staged fight among politicians.

"I would say I could mention the governor of Chicago, but I'm going to mention instead Jerry Nadler, and they're fighting for a big piece of cheesecake, big fat piece of cheesecake," he said to zero audible laughs. "Who the hell wrote that line?"

In fairness, a lot of these aren't ha-ha jokes. They're really just insults delivered in a faux-jocular way. I understand that -- it's hard to be funny about people you actually hate. The media leftists hate Trump, and Trump, understandably, hates them back.

None of their "jokes" about Trump are funny either. Just insults.

Following mentions of late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, whom he called talentless, Trump also admitted that he truly hates some people.

"They thought about going with a professional clown for entertainment, but Adam 'Shifty' Schiff was not available," Trump joked. "You know he's known -- I hate some people. You know, I shouldn't say the surprise. I'm not supposed to hate him. I'm supposed to love everybody, but he's a terrible person. He's a liar, and I called him watermelon head because he has the largest head I've ever seen with the smallest neck, pencil neck. How does that big fat ugly head stand on a on a little pencil, pencil, pencil neck?"

That's not really a joke. That's just reality.

Menstrual manlet Jim Acosta was, get this, outraged.

This dinner is a disgrace. Trump's rambling, unhinged speech is full of hate and spite. Just spewing nastiness at his usual targets. Let's not sanitize how truly ugly it was. This would be a great moment for members of the press to get up and walk out.

The ultimate troll was Trump's announcement that he's running for president again in 2028:

This was kinda funny:

Here was the Kaitlin Collins insult:

One problem with Trump's jokes and speeches in general is that he hates just reading prepared material. His "compromise" for reading a speech, or reading a prepared joke, is to read one line of the pre-written material, then add in two or three sentences of improvised riffs between each line. This is what makes his SOTU addresses so long and, frankly, meandering. It also hurts a joke when you riff two or three lines unrelated to the joke between the set-up and punchline. It separates the two things you're trying to connect in the joke.

That said: I like showing disrespect to people who are thoroughly disreputable, despicable, and whore-ish. Funniness is beside the main point.

How was your weekend?
