Trump blows off the White House Correspondents Dinner

you cannot ban corporations from creating and owning media companies.

not without Communism and abandoning the 1st Amendment.

 

Our national press has a lot to answer for. The treatment they are getting from Trump and the American citizens that care to receive the truth is earned. They need to be exposed, embarrassed, and shunned until they change their ways and stop their left wing Globalist partisan bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

Like I said, because he also has a brain and is already having the last laugh (without attending the dinner) at the expense of hysterical hyperventilating liberal snowflakes and corrupt media.

 

Wow, the left defending the 1st Amendment for corporations. So much for Citizen's United hate.

 

money is not speech.

come on Trump, be a man and go to the dinner.

take a few punches and throw some of your own.

show us you actually have some self esteem

 

You can (and should) expose them for what they are - lying, self-serving, fake-news spewing, intellectually-lazy, corrupt enemies of the people.... until they go out of business or become honest, smart and hard working.

 

Fox News is owned by a corporate whore, Rupert Murdoch.

 

They would take every second of video cut an scissor it up to have him saying things he never said. Glad to see Trump blowing them the raspberries.

 

They are part of the problem..... Of course let's not forget that for one FoxNews there are 10 uber-liberal fake-news outlets like Clown News Network, the Hedgefund Times, the Swamp Post...

 

And you do that by showing exactly how they lied. Stunts like this are for babies... He isn't convincing anyone but the already faithful to drop the news. The media has been trash for years, but you rid trash by destroying credibility through fact. Not begging the FBI to come to your defense against them.

 

Citizen's United was about restricting a film derogatory to Hillary Clinton.

 

We'll just have to wait and see how this plays out.... The media is in full defense mode, bleating 24/7 about their importance and relevance. Trump has turned media's integrity, honesty and fairness (or lack of thereof) into the topic of a major national debate for the first time in the nation's history. The media has been exposed, its infallibility has been shattered, it is being scrutinized by the public as it has never been before. It might just work

 

there is no national debate as to the fairness and professionalism of the media.

this debate only exists in Trump's tiny little insecure brain

no, it was about the FUNDING for the commercial.

 

Right, funding for free speech. It was all about the 1st Amendment and how it applied to corporations. Glad to see you defending the decision.

 

thats why we need a Constitutional Amendment legalizing limits on campaign contributions by the public, corporations, unions, etc.

 

Other than on every TV network, in every newspaper, every forum and message board, facebook, tweeter, blogs...

PS personal anecdote - I was stuck in a Quebec hotel last weekend with CNN being the only English speaking political network.... They were whining about Trump's attacks on the media non-stop, 24/7

 

Trump should show us that he actually is an adult with self-esteem, and go to the show.

he will be laughed at, lampooned, roasted.

he could smile, and just take it. show us that he has some balls.

and then make some jokes about the media.


it would change a lot of minds about him.

we wont agree with his policies, but we might at least see him as an actual man that is not thin skinned

 

He knows that people in that know realize what a fraud he is so he will hide and probably hold a rally instead, where he can count on the adoration of his birther kindred spirits, white supremacists and the run of the mill gullible folks that buy his brand of snake oil.

 

If Trump has real self-esteem, he would show up knowing he will be roasted and trolled and made fun of.

he would let it slide ride off his suit.

he would smile, and make some good cracks at the media.

the nation would he shocked, as suddenly Trump has some true grit.

 

That would be the very point, good bad or indifferent disrespect would have been the main coarse so let the gang eat crow or if they prefer warn feces!

 

LOL, I think Trump figured out this years event would not go well for him. The last time he was present, in 2011, Obama ripped him a new one....the moronic buffoonish pathological liar really can't take the "abuse". Quite frankly these are extraordinary times.....the press corps want no part of Trump and vice versa....the impeachment trial will sort things out, LOL.

 

Did you read the articles? Many news sites were already considering boycotting the event before Trump made his announcement.

Now tell us again about tradition.

 

Trump starts to fade in the evenings.. It would be too obvious.

It was funny, wasn't it? Poor Trump looked like such an ass.

 

I love this. Everything Trump does sends the liberals into a frenzy. It's going to be a great 4-8 years!

Oh liberals, if you hadn't lost control of the House and Senate you might have been able to impeach Trump, or at least slow him down. But because your party is so hated by America- you're completely out of power and can't do a darn thing but cry over a correspondence dinner.

 

We have a senile old man in the WH/ Trump doesn't do well in the evenings.
