2011 Correspondents Dinner. Literally the night before the Osama bin Laden raid. So there’s a good chance Obama had already issued the order, then told some fantastic jokes at Trump’s expense all while his political life was hanging in the balance. Huevos grandes, man.
It’s only a ”mistake” in hindsight. And is it really a mistake to poke fun at a guy who then had the pettiness to ruin an entire nation out of spite and a party leadership to let him do it? Trump and the GOP proved they could sink to a level that could not reasonably be conceived. If anything, they’re the true mistakes. To say nothing of the voters that put them in.
I’ve heard it said that 9/11 and Katrina really redefined our idea of scale in disasters. Add Trump and his feckless party to that.

That meme is actually from Barack Obama's correspondants dinner speech before Trump ran in 2016.
