FLASHBACK: Obama tried to make Trump a punchline at 2011 dinner before rise stunned Washington

President Donald Trump is set to attend the 2020 White House Correspondents' Dinner for the first time as commander in chief, revisiting memories of 2011 when then-President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Meyers mocked him. The 2011 event, where Obama joked about Trump's 'birth certificate' claims, is cited as a potential catalyst for Trump's 2016 presidential run, though Trump has denied this link.
