To quickly clarify: I wish I had written those jokes because they were amazing. But I’d only been at the wh for a few weeks - Lovett was still in charge of the dinner then. (I did watch from the cheap seats though, and the shade of red Trump turned was something.)

Trump, when asked why he didn't inform allies ahead of initial Iran strike: "We didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK? Right?"
