Obama's 2011 Roast of Trump Resurfaces

A video of former US President Barack Obama mocking Donald Trump during a White House correspondents' dinner in 2011 has resurfaced, highlighting the long-running feud between the two political figures.

At the dinner, Mr Obama joked about Mr Trump's presidential ambitions, suggesting the property tycoon would turn the White House into a casino. A picture was shown featuring the White House with women in bikinis sipping cocktails in a hot tub.

Mr Obama also addressed Mr Trump's promotion of the 'birther' conspiracy theory, which falsely questioned whether the president was born in the United States. After releasing his long-form birth certificate earlier that week, Mr Obama quipped that Mr Trump could now focus on other matters, such as whether the moon landing was faked.

Comedian Seth Meyers, who hosted the event, also took aim at Mr Trump, saying: 'Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising. I just assumed he was running as a joke.' Throughout the jokes, Mr Trump remained stony-faced.

The resurfaced clip comes as Mr Trump campaigns for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.
