Jimmy Kimmel's 2012 WH Correspondents Dinner performance

Watch Jimmy Kimmel's full performance from the 2012 White House Correspondent's Association Dinner.

[@EdKazO-Vision]

Was America actually like this? A leader who enjoyed a joke at his expense?

[@silversteel6312]

Ed Kaz! You can’t have a black president without a Trump next up. America will settle down. It’s just working through natural human process.

[@nicholasgray100]

It can't possibly be true

[@side0fbacon]

tis true. we once did. not a disingenuous knuckle dragging, racist, misogynist, xenophobe, mouth breathing, POS

[@jacobj297]

Yeah but none of these jokes are mean spirited. Trump went on Fallon and snl. He laughed at himself plenty. The relationship between him and the media was just terrible for quickly so nothing like this would ever happen

[@Leigh1968]

This one is the best out of all the ones I've seen so far!

[@Kbb1957]

I miss having a president that could laugh at himself and have fun. I also miss a president that conducts himself with grace and dignity. And one who doesn't lie constantly, who cares about ALL the people in the country - not just the ones who agrees with him. I miss a president who doesn't need to hold weekly rallies of paid, cheering supporters in order to feel good about himself, while proclaiming everyone who doesn't agree with him, a 'traitor'. I miss civility, as sparse as it was, in politics. Trump is leading us down a long, dark road and we are fools to allow him to do so.

[@reagan513]

@gcjerryusc Obama is showing his ego now, and his religious views in which he was a Christian in 2008, a Muslim in 2012 and now an atheist. Now one of the oldest religion in the World Pagans are white supremacy, two US Army National Guard Soldiers, both war vets, got discharged for being Nordic Pagans aka now known as White Supremacy. The racist people who got them discharged never did much studying on the 1st Adm.

[@reagan513]
