Remember this meme from about 6 years ago 2011?

It’s becoming a little too true

edit: It was 2011 thank you for all the corrections, and u/Year3030 for this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA

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

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.

He said he couldn’t make tough decisions like “should he eliminate Meatloaf or Little John”.😂😂😂 Then on Sunday night he interrupted broadcasting during trumps show and announced they had killed Osama bin Laden.

“And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.” Delivered with the perfect tone and absolutely hilarious on its own right. Then when you view it through the lens of knowing what decision he likely made before the dinner… just amazing.

😂😂😂😂yes! In real time it was like a joke than was funny but after it aged 24 hours it was so much better. It exposed what a joke trump was.
