It’s confirmed: Donald Trump is funny only when you’re laughing at him, not with him.
The president, 79, bombed spectacularly while trying his hand at comedy on Saturday during the annual black-tie dinner at D.C.’s Alfalfa Club, an elite social club for some of the world’s most powerful figures, the Washington Post reported.
The club, founded in 1913 to celebrate Confederate general Robert E. Lee, now counts among its members billionaires Jeff Bezos,Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, as well as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and former president George W. Bush. Other notable figures include Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, whom Trump is having investigated, and David Rubenstein, the financier Trump ousted as head of the Kennedy Center last year.
