Trump blows off the White House Correspondents Dinner

Who is this woman? Is she any relevant or something?

 

You really think he doesn't? Cause he is in the Oval office while his opponents are in the crapper, he is having the last laugh while his enemies are hysterical and hyperventilating, his agenda is being implemented as we speak while the agenda of his predecessor (what was his name again?) is being systematically dismantled, the media started a war on him and is in full defense mode whining and bleating about their relevance, they planned to boycott him at the dinner and he is boycotting them instead and they've lost this perk for years, if not forever...

Do reconsider

 

Don't worry, you'll be hearing 'but Hillary...' and, 'but Obama...' for the next four years. If he lasts in the job that long.

 

I don't mind Trump being compared to his predecessors. But when a certain rabid part of the population props up a defeated candidate as some kind of scarecrow for things that will forever stay the province of supposition, I wince.

 

Pointing out that while Trump may not be perfect, his opponents and predecessors were immeasurably worse is a valid argument given that the election choice is binary. Demonstrating the hypocrisy of Trump's critics feigning never ending faux-outrages over a speck in his eye, while for 8 years they had been ignoring a log in their own is devastating to these Trump-haters, no wonder they whine every time they are confronted with their hypocrisy.

 

When the MSM LIES 24/7 calling you a racist misogynist who hates women and immigrants and black people, you wouldn't laugh either. You understand that's what bullies do? Liberals are just to naive to see that THEY are the bullies and they approve of it.

Pathetic.

As far as I can tell it's you who is doing the whining. See above.

I see, so none of the above could possibly be levelled at Trump? Would you like a few examples? I guess not...
Ok, because I'm in a generous mood. Here, just for you:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-Trump-apartments-speak-alleged-racism.html
Trump isn't laughing because he sees nothing wrong with his behaviour. I guess the same goes for his supporters.

 

You mean past elections, like a season ago - the ones that passed, that are over and done - these ones?

Please, tell me how Trump compares to Gore, then. We all know what Gore's Presidency would have been huh? I cannot find more relevant.

The hypothetical isn't fact, Borat.

 

When did they do that? Document your claim..... of course you won't because you made it up.

 

Trump was a democrat when Gore ran for president This comparison would be absurd, different age (literally), different circumstances, different country. Comparing Trump to the president he replaced, to the candidate he ran against and perhaps to the last republican president is absolutely fair, valid and important.

 

Lol! Exactly! Just the other day I was wondering what happened to journalism? Liberalism is what happened!

 

You sure? Because the posting was about a narcissistic president unable to function sans the outright worship of the press; and that's pretty much the definition of former president Barack Obama. We all recall the great jokes issued by the Narcissist-in-Chief, jokes that were adored by the MSM and leftists in general (though one is being redundant there); and especially two really stand out. The first was at a White House Correspondents Dinner in fact:

Obama declared to the adoring and worshipful media wonks:
"Most of you covered me (pause)... All of you voted for me."That was awesome . . . and utterly, utterly true, as the next eight years amply demonstrated over and over again. Worship, see? But then there was the second really great joke that Obama told -- this time to the nation -- which actually did come back to haunt him. It was in reference to Donald Trump declaring Barack Obama the worst president ever and Obama grinned at the cameras and said, "At least I'll go down as a president."

Now PRESIDENT Trump is methodically dismantling ALL of Barack Obama's reeking presidential legacy step by step by step while leftists -- including the Mainstream Media -- are collectively having hysterics. Sweet!

As for Trump and the NEED for media worship. How so considering that he became president with ALL of the media -- including Fox News for most of the time -- utterly opposed to him? So Obama was the one who NEEDED worship from the media, not Trump.

 

The democrat party has become too extreme and most people are turning away because they are SO ridiculous.

 

Only one President in the last 93 years has missed a White House Correspondent's Dinner.

That was Ronald Reagan, who had an excuse. He had just been shot.

But he still managed to phone in some remarks for the guests.

Trump is a little bully. A vein and weak little man with a very thin skin.

If there was any doubt in anyone's mind that this man is far from being Presidential material, consider that he doesn't even have the stones to take ribbing from some reporters.

Never heard of the Democrat party.

But the Democratic party just crushed the GOP in a special election in Delaware yesterday.

 

Aww. Boo hoo. Grow some balls or something.

The media deserves to be shunned. They have earned it, seriously.

 

... during the elections.

Afterwards, the defeated candidate is totally irrelevant.

HRC is as relevant as Gore or Dukakis in the present debate, meaning not at all.

 

We all know about the media outlets that like to put their spin on the truth. The media just seems to get worse and worse with misinformation and jumping to conclusions.

They had really better start making some changes. It's to the point now where a lot of people don't TRUST the media.

 

One would hope your commentary on testicular fortitude was directed at the man running away from the meanies calling him names while he snivels in a basement closet alone....unfortunately such hope is but a dream.

 

Not when the haters keep pointing at specks in the winner's eye while a log in their candidate's eye did not bother them one iota.

Sorry dude but we'll keep bringing Hillary and Obama up, if for no other reason, it drives Trump haters absolutely insane to face the reality of their hypocrisy

 

Perhaps The Daily KOS is not the best place to get such information. The following presidents have 'blown off' the Media Correspondents Dinner according to NPR:

Aside from Reagan who'd been shot, "The last president to outright skip the event was Jimmy Carter, who did so twice — in 1980 and 1978. Richard Nixon also skipped it twice — in 1974 and 1972. Nixon warned the press he'd do so and followed through." http://www.npr.org/2017/02/25/51725...-years-to-skip-white-house-correspondents-din

 

Worse - people are now believe the medias as long as it suits them, whitout any desire to be objective. You like the news, therefore you like the media it came from. That's how we ended up with "heads" or "tails" media instead of having the whole damn coin.

 

Then your domain will be about the hypothetical.

Please, by all means, be my guest. Tell them I sent you. You think I am any saddened by all this?

I am amused. I can afford to be - I am not a Yank.

 

His "testicular fortitude" is complimented by his brain, smart people don't do stupid idiotic and self-destructive things to prove their bravery. Morons do. Trump's already having the last laugh while the enemies of the people are in complete meltdown, whining, hyperventilating and complaining like little (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)es that they are. He'd be an idiot to attend the dinner when he's already beaten them at their own game.

 

I am not surprised that the Novelty Act should hide from the press.

His narcissism would only be exacerbated by the traditional jovial "roast" and the spirit of the traditional affair that pokes fun at puffed up pomposities is antithetical to his whining ways.

He might well become flustered and throw another tantrump of pissytweets at the dais and have to declare the documented reporting of his antics "fake!"

Making the customary, self-deprecatory quips would cause him to choke, and Serge Kovaleski applying the Heimlich Maneuver to the lardass would not be a pretty sight.

He would do better to pass the evening by crawling under a heap of his promised tax returns and left-over Trump® U diplomas and snivel far away from the public spotlight.

Besides, Alec Baldwin mooning the journalists would be a reasonable, if not as substantial, an approximation.

 

We both are, pointing out that Clinton/Obama were worse and they could not care less and watching them hyperventilate and resort to "but but we don't want you to talk about Clinton and Obama" bleating and pleas is enormous fun.
