US presidents have been poking fun at themselves – and grimacing as they're mocked by comedians – at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner for decades.
On Saturday, comedian Michelle Wolf will take the microphone – without the usual presidential target. Donald Trump will skip the jokes, but here's a flavor of what he'll be missing…

And where are Biggie and Tupac?” Barack Obama said this about Donald Trump in which year?

"I know there’s some polls out there saying that this man has a 32-percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don’t pay attention to the polls.

"I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things-things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares.

Bush-while standing next to him?
