US President Barack Obama has sent up Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions, joking that the real-estate mogul would turn the White House into a casino.<\/p>\n

During the White House correspondents’ annual dinner Mr Obama showed a picture of a White House with girls in bikinis sipping cocktails in a hot tub.<\/p>\n

The president also made fun of rumours that he was not born in the US.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump, a potential Republican presidential candidate, had recently revived the conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n

Mr Obama said that after he released his long-form birth certificate this week in order to settle the issue, Mr Trump could now turn his attention to more serious matters such as, “Did we fake the Moon landing?”<\/p>\n

During the dinner comedian Seth Meyers also teased Mr Trump, who sat stony-faced through the barrage.<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising,” said Mr Meyers. “I just assumed he was running as a joke.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
