Colbert, who was the featured entertainer at the 2006 event, summarized the dinner as “a lighthearted night when the press and politicians get together and, in my personal experience, stare in dead-eyed silence at the performer while the president mentally orders a hit by SEAL Team 6.”
But this weekend’s will be different.
No comic will be there to roast the Washington elite, and Trump reportedly plans to attack the press and then leave early, according to The Daily Beast.
That refers to a racy birthday card to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, once a Trump friend. The president denies writing the card, which features an outline of a naked woman and his signature in the pubic area.
In addition, photographer Andrew Harnik will be honored for his image of Trump standing at his desk after a man collapsed during an Oval Office event. Colbert said the president “just stood there like he was waiting for a bus” as the medical emergency unfolded behind him.
“It’s so crazy that he didn’t help,” Colbert said. “Especially now that we know that he is a doctor. He’s right there!”
