I look forward to the White House Correspondents Dinner every year, a national traditon which honors our First Amendment and a Free Press, a unique American value, a standard setter for the world. I loved the President's speech and I though Colin Jost's part was super funny without being cringey or inappropriate. Considering what is happening in the world today he had the perfect tone and humor. I loved the short videos in the beginning as well, they were cute. Great all around. Vote Blue and saved the country from tyranny, dictatorship and ruin.

​@patrickderp1044 You can blame Trump for that. "One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt. The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country." True..do the research.
