Donald Trump wasted no time giving a cutthroat review of this years White House Correspondents Dinner .

During the event for politicians, journalists and celebrities, Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost, who hosted the shindig on Saturday alongside President Joe Biden, took several shots at the former president amid his legal drama .

On Saturday night, Trump fired back at Jost and Bidens teasing in an angry post on his social media platform, Truth Social. 

The White House Correspondents Dinner was really bad. Colin Jost BOMBED, and Crooked Joe was an absolute disaster! Doesnt get much worse than this! Trump wrote .

While delivering a speech at the dinner, Biden poked fun at Trump, calling him a 6-year-old.
