    Looks like Trump has dissed the White House reporters once again and has refused to attend their annual Correspondents dinner in April. After his announcement, groups that sponsor post dinner parties have also canceled their events. I love it. Keep hammering the lying creeps that would have only used the dinner to mock Trump and NOT with good nature as is the custom.

    Color me shocked! Self deprecation seems like one of Trump's strong suits.

    Indeed, I actually am not surprised. I don't think Trump could endure what would be heaped upon him, especially after his apparent obsession with how he is perceived in the media. Even before he was president he seemed to not enjoy taking his turn as the butt of a joke at the dinner.

    Will he attend at all in his possible 8 years as president? Meh, I doubt it.

    US President Donald Trump has announced he will not attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on 29 April.
    The glitzy event draws celebrities, journalists and politicians, normally including the US president.
    Mr Trump said he would not attend a day after the White House excluded several major broadcasters and newspapers from a press briefing.
    He has frequently described negative news coverage as "fake".

    He's under no obligation to attend. Given how ruthless the media jackals have been, and, will be at the dinner, I do not blame him for sitting this one out.

    The big, fat, thin skinned baby is going to avoid a tradition because he can't handle criticism. What a special little snowflake afraid of hurt feelings. This is what happens when you elect a petulant child. Apologists will claim he's under no obligation to attend, among other excuses to cover up for the fact that the man-child in chief can't take a joke.

    It's no claim. It's a fact that he doesn't have to attend. Oh and the leftist media isn't joking. I'm surprised they haven't publicly called for a coup. Oh wait, they have! What a world.

    Hell, I thought the correspondents were skipping it this year. With Trump as president, what's the point :roflol: One could only have "fun" with the president if there was any respect and/or admiration for Trump - clearly with Trump there is no prospect of either....

    Trump is not wanted there.

    he should stay far away.

    Yeah, he is far too much of a coward to do something like this. Someone might make fun of his hair...

    He is at war with free speech and goes after anyone who doesn't kiss his butt. If he attended the correspondents dinner, he would be throwing out 3 AM tweets so fast his fingers would catch on fire!

    Of course, a thin skinned narcissist could never attend something where he'll be mocked

    sounds like RT propaganda, bro.

    "America only acts like a democracy with a free press, but it is all a mirage".

    Putin couldnt have said it better.

    So you do think the press is free? Why am I not surprised? This with your claim that Nation of Islam's most prominent member Keith Ellison is not a jew hater shows the depth of your gullibility to propaganda.

    Yep, just like security briefings he doesn't have to attend. He need to find his safe space and hide out for the rest of his term. Poor little snowflake!

    Good. The dinner was supposed to be about scholarships. Now most people don't even know that, they think it's some kind of Hollywood event. Whose fault is that? The press.

    I have noticed that Trump has no sense of humor and that he might smirk when he thinks that he is being sarcastic, but I have never heard him really laugh. As far as being able to laugh at himself, that is something that a self-deluded narcissist would never do. The quintessential wet blanket.
