The show was set during the fictitious Democratic administration of Josiah Bartlet (played by Martin Sheen), and ran alongside the real presidency of George W. Bush, which at the time was seen as a disastrous presidency, largely due to the Iraq War.
He then went through a long list of jokes, essentially declaring that, thanks to Trump, Bush is no longer the most hated president of recent years, smugly declaring, "history has proven to be kinder to me than you thought".
"It's time for all of us to remember that we are one people with one great American destiny, and that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, and we all share the same glorious freedoms of our magnificent country", Trump said, evoking the populist rhetoric of his inauguration speech after spending a large part of his Saturday remarks decrying the alleged shortcomings of the mainstream media.
Last night was both the 2017 White House Correspondents' Dinner - which Trump, in characteristically childish fashion, chose to skip. It is not. No one one wanted to do this, so, of course, it falls in the hands of an immigrant. "That's how it always goes down".
Meanwhile, over in Washington, the evening's host - The Daily Show's Hasan Minhaj - ripped Trump apart despite organisers asking him not to. Donald Trump. Because it's 10 am in Russian Federation: "those are business hours".

"I don't have a solution on how to win back trust". You guys have to be more flawless now. Only in America can a first-generation, Indian-American Muslim kid get on this stage and make fun of the president - the orange man behind the Muslim ban. Not from advisers, not from experts, not from intelligence agencies - you guys. You can't make any mistakes. When one of you messes up, he blames the whole group. The man who tweets everything that enters his head refuses to acknowledge the amendment that allows him to do it. Think about it, it's nearly - what is it, 11? Because Donald Trump doesn't care about free speech.
"He tweets at 3 AM... sober".
