although he disliked President Obama, the real turning point was that now famous WH Correspondence Dinner where he eviscerated Trump in front of what he thought were his peers. In the vid (see YouTube) Obama IMO did a fabulous job of hitting Trump on so many hot button areas that he sought revenge. The great part though was the lack of any smile or positive reaction, as those who get roasteddo, made the tape a national joke....the joke being on Trump as one whose frail and oversized ego can't stand anything but good press. At the time, every major TV media and on-line media played the vid numerous times.

Btw, it's still one of the best WHCD roasts of all time! Hilarious!
