Himself - Host: Finally, new rule: Republicans have to tell us, now that you've made facts optional and changed the status of truth to "unknowable", what's next? Hypocrisy used to be a thing. Is it still? Take a look at Paul Ryan at the State of the Union when President Trump suggested we create jobs by investing in infrastructure.
[a clip of Trump is shown]
Himself - Host: Yes, an idea worth standing and applauding for. Here's Ryan when Obama suggested the exact same thing.
[a clip of Obama is shown; Ryan remains motionless in his seat]
Himself - Host: Yes. Either Obama forgot to say "Simon says"...
[laughter]
Himself - Host: ...or, clearly, the term "Republican principles" no longer has any meaning. Since Trump got elected, they have pulled utter 180s on infrastructure, free trade, reducing debt, family values, the Constitution. When Obama signed executive orders, it was proof we were being governed by a lawless tyrant. Now Trump does it, and he proudly displays them like he's the "Price is Right" girl.
[laughter]
Himself - Host: Trump tweeted twenty-seven times about how Obama played too much golf. Now he plays twice as much! Suddenly the problem of presidents playing golf too much disappeared faster than a Russian journalist
[laughter]
Himself - Host: And even when you say, as I often do, "Oh, come on", wouldn't you be furious of... if Obama had said, you know, "The White House is a dump", or whatever ridiculous thing Trump said that week? No, they never admit it. "We'd be cool with it. We're consistent." So I got to thinking, what if I could actually show Republicans what it would look like if Obama had some... said some of the things that Trump has said? So here to help us with this little experiment, please welcome, on his birthday today, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, ladies and gentlemen!
[applause]
Barack Obama: [entering to "Hail to the Chief"] Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Himself - Host: All right, so it's not the real Obama. Who could afford his speaking fee?
[laughter]
Himself - Host: This is, of course, our friend Reggie Brown, and he's here to help Republicans...
[applause]
Himself - Host: He's here to help Republicans test their theory that they'd be "cool with it" if some of the crap that's come out of Trump's mouth was said by Obama. And I stress, this may not be the real Obama, but these are really Trump's words, every one of them, verbatim.
