WATCH: Inside the Night President Obama Took On Donald Trump

[Kind of Blue]

“It was April of 2011. For weeks, Donald Trump had been fanning the flames of the 'birther' movement and attacking President Barack Obama on television — demanding that Obama produce his birth certificate, implying that he was not born in the United States, and questioning both his religious identity and the legality of his presidency.

But on April 30, the tables were turned. Trump was the recipient of President Obama’s jokes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — and Trump political adviser Roger Stone tells FRONTLINE in The Choice 2016 that the dinner was a turning point for Trump.

'Donald dreads humiliation and he dreads shame, and this is why he often attempts to humiliate and shame other people,' author Michael D’Antonio tells FRONTLINE. 'This is a burning, personal need that he has to redeem himself from being humiliated by the first black president,' D’Antonio adds in the final moment of the film’s opening sequence.

Premieres Sept. 27 at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST on PBS stations nationwide."

1. So this is all about seeking revenge against BO - he's even more thin skinned than I ever imagined

And perhaps the weakest person imaginable. Ugh. Scary, scary dude. Will do anything to gain power and humiliate and shame others.

3. Yeah, Thanks Obama!

I'd forgotten about this particular correspondents' dinner and remember that Seth Meyers finished Trump off following our president's mocking. He deserved/deserves every bit of it.

2. It makes sense.

Don the Con could not even smile. Obama was perfect in making fun of him.

All the while the administration took down Osama Bin Laden. Obama is ultimate in cool, while Trump is the ultimate bully.

4. You're right! That was announced the next day!

I think the real show is coming on Monday night with the debate. I'm hoping HRC can take him down making him a laughing stock for years to come.
