10. Remember it followed months of birther lies -- he was already in it

Obama mocked the birth certificate thing first -- showing the "movie" of his birth (an excerpt from Lion King).

More specific to Trump -- the last line is too close to home

And then there’s a vicious rumor floating
around that I think could really hurt Mitt Rom-
ney. I heard he passed universal health care
when he was Governor of Massachusetts.
[Laughter] Someone should get to the bottom
of that.
And I know just the guy to do it; Donald
Trump is here tonight! [Laughter] Now, I
know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no
one is happier, no one is prouder to put this
birth certificate matter to rest than the Don-
ald. [Laughter] And that’s because he can fi-
nally get back to focusing on the issues that
matter, like, did we fake the Moon landing?
What really happened in Roswell? [Laughter]
And where are Biggie and Tupac? [Laughter]
But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know
about your credentials and breadth of experi-
ence. [Laughter] For example—no, seriously,
just recently, in an episode of “Celebrity Ap-
prentice”—[laughter]—at the steakhouse, the
men’s cooking team did not impress the judges
from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of
blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, rec-
ognized that the real problem was a lack of
leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame
Lil Jon or Meat Loaf—[laughter]—you fired
Gary Busey. [Laughter] And these are the kind
of decisions that would keep me up at night.
Well handled, sir. [Laughter] Well handled.
Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he cer-
tainly would bring some change to the White
House. Let’s see what we’ve got up there.
[Laughter]

Trump really is an asshole
