U.S. President Barack Obama dusted off his comedy chops Saturday night at the glitzy White House Correspondents鈥� Dinner in Washington, D.C. -- and he wasn鈥檛 afraid to throw a few punches.
From celebrities to journalists to Canada鈥檚 new prime minister, it appeared from the commander-in-chief鈥檚 biting barbs.
Here are Obama鈥檚 best digs from his final night of presidential stand-up.
On Justin Trudeau鈥檚 charm
鈥淪omebody recently said to me, Mr. President, you are so yesterday; Justin Trudeau has completely replaced you 鈥� he鈥檚 so handsome, he鈥檚 so charming, he鈥檚 the future. And I said, Justin, just give it a rest. I resented that.鈥�
On Donald Trump鈥檚 absence
鈥淚s this dinner too tacky for The Donald? What could he possibly be doing instead? Is he at home, eating a Trump Steak, tweeting out insults to Angela Merkel? What鈥檚 he doing?
The Republican establishment is incredulous that he is their most likely nominee 鈥� incredulous, shocking. They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president. But, in fairness, he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world: Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan.鈥�
On Kendall Jenner鈥檚 livelihood
鈥淜endall Jenner is also here. And we had a chance to meet her backstage 鈥� she seems like a very nice young woman. I鈥檓 not exactly sure what she does, but I am told that my Twitter mentions are about to go through the roof.鈥�
On Ted Cruz鈥檚 basketball gaffe
鈥淎nd then there鈥檚 Ted Cruz. Ted had a tough week. He went to Indiana 鈥� Hoosier country 鈥� stood on a basketball court, and called the hoop a 鈥榖asketball ring.鈥� What else is in his lexicon? Baseball sticks? Football hats? But sure, I鈥檓 the foreign one.鈥�
On Prince George鈥檚 loungewear
鈥淟ast week, Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. That was a slap in the face. A clear breach in protocol.鈥�
On former-VP Dick Cheney鈥檚 gunmanship
鈥淚 love Joe Biden, I really do. And I want to thank him for his friendship, for his counsel, for always giving it to me straight, for not shooting anybody in the face. Thank you, Joe.鈥�
