President Donald Trump spoke at a private dinner at the Gridiron Club in Washington, D.C. Saturday, and his light-hearted speech poked fun at his inner circle and the establishment media.

According to the White House press pool, Omarosa was simply called “the worst!”

Vice President Mike Pence was labeled a “straight man” by Trump, who enthusiastically added, “He is straight!”

He also joked that Pence starts every day asking, “Is he impeached yet?”

CNN reports that he also slammed North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un, saying, “I won’t rule out direct talks with Kim Jong Un. I just won’t. As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that’s his problem, not mine. It’s his problem.”

Trump also quipped that the Democrats were the real “Dreamers” for thinking that they’re going to win in 2020.

And speaking on 2020, Trump said that if Joe Biden (who he labelled “Sleepy Joe”) were to run, Trump would “kick his ass like no other.”

“Man, would he be easy.”

He also got around to Democratic House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, saying, “she’s crazy, but she’s a fine woman.”

Jared Kushner was also ribbed on, with Trump saying he was late because “Jared couldn’t get through security.”

As always, Trump saved most of his scorn for the media, hitting The New York Times by saying, “You, The New York Times, are an icon. I’m a New York icon, you’re a New York icon. And the only difference is, I still own my buildings.” (RELATED: Trump Jokes About Becoming ‘President For Life’ In Private Dinner)
