Comedian Roy Wood Jr. pulls no punches as he aims Donald Trump, in a hilarious and scathing performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is always a night full of laughs and jabs, and this year was no exception, with comedian Roy Wood Jr. taking the stage. However, instead of just poking fun at the politicians in attendance, Wood took the opportunity to roast former President Donald Trump.

Wood didn’t hold back when he referred to Trump as “the king of scandals,” admitting that there were too many Trump scandals to keep up with. He compared trying to keep up with Trump’s scandals to watching Star Wars movies, joking that you have to watch the third one to understand the first one.

Wood then took a moment to address Trump’s criminal charges, admitting that the Trump arrest didn’t hit as hard as everyone thought it would. He likened the rush to justice to a marijuana high hours later, stating that it didn’t feel like justice. Wood joked about how Republicans and Democrats handled Trump’s criminal charges, saying it made everyone question what they believe.

Wood also took a jab at the media, calling them out for their double standards regarding Trump and President Biden. When news broke that Trump had taken confidential documents from the White House, the media went hard on him, but when it was reported that Biden had done the same thing, they backed down. Wood found this amusing and jokingly called out the media for their lack of consistency.

Overall, Wood’s jokes about Trump’s scandals were on-point and provided much-needed laughs for those in attendance. It’s always refreshing to see a comedian tackle difficult topics like politics and turn them into something funny while proving a point. Maybe Trump himself even chuckled at some of Wood’s jokes (but we doubt it).
