TV producer Chuck Lorre used a Hollywood charity gala last Saturday to deliver a profanity-laced speech targeting President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, prompting a fiery response from the White House.
Speaking at the Project Angel Food Angel Awards in Los Angeles, the “Big Bang Theory” creator used his acceptance speech to insult the first family, call the president a “Russian asset” and joke about checking whether Trump had suffered a fatal heart attack. Regarding Melania Trump, he called the first lady “a surgically enhanced, cold-hearted Yugoslavian escort who clearly hates her husband.”Â
The White House responded to Lorre’s remarks in a statement to
“Chuck Lorre should immediately seek psychiatric help to treat his severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has completely rotted his peanut-sized brain,” said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle.
Lorre was honored at the event after his foundation made what Project Angel Food has described as a “transformational” contribution to the charity. The charity provides medically tailored meals to people facing critical and life-threatening illnesses. During his acceptance speech, Lorre repeatedly turned to politics and told the crowd that his “need to cause laughter” compelled him to do so.

“Id love to express my gratitude to all the people whove devoted their lives to making Project Angel Food an oasis for those in need. That would be my preference,” Lorre said during his speech, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
“But because Im a comedy writer, I have no choice but to explain how I wake up every morning, turn on CNN to see if the President of the United States had a heart attack while straining to take a dump,” he added.

Lorre, also known for creating shows including “Two and a Half Men” and “Mom,” then called on those in attendance to open their wallets to contribute to the nonprofit before comparing first lady Melania Trump to former first lady Michelle Obama.
“Id love to encourage you to pull out your wallets and contribute to this amazing organization, but my need to cause laughter forces me to question how a country can embrace a smart, educated, warm, funny first lady like Michelle Obama and somehow be OK with a surgically enhanced, cold-hearted Yugoslavian escort who clearly hates her husband,” Lorre told the crowd.
