Trump Not Attending White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

[Bookishleigh]

Trump tweeted earlier that he wouldn't be attending the event this year and to wish everyone well and to have a great evening. If memory serves correctly, he hasn't attended since that fateful 2015 dinner in which Obama mocked him so badly he decided to run for President and look who is crying, er, laughing now.

What do you think Trump will be doing instead? Touching up his fake tan? Live tweeting how unfunny everyone is? To quote some literature up Trump's alley, "Inquiring minds want to know."

Why the fuck would he want to attend that?

the annual dinner is traditionally attended by the president, first lady, members of the administration, the White House press corps and numerous media outlets.

He's not an idiot, so why would he want to hang out with the people that are behind so much of the drama he's facing? It's a hate-hate relationship, and I can't see anyone in their right mind volunteering to put themselves in that situation.

Don't worry, he will most likely do something else to offend the snowflakes. Maybe he'll be playing golf - he has a lot of rounds to go to catch up to obama.

Hopefully he's fucking some progressive bullshit department/agency/parasite/etc. up the ass with his lil cheetoh dick.

If he goes and neuters Affirmative Action while the elitist libs are all sucking each other off at the party that would be legendary.

Yet he admits to watching SNL, knowing they mock him. Yes, why would anyone in their right mind voluntarily put themselves in such a situation. You ask a good question.

Is Trump in his right mind? Only time and his Twitter feed will tell.....

I don't have the least doubt that Trump himself is behind the drama we're all experiencing.

He does admit to watching it, but that's his problem, lol. However, there's a big difference between DVRing a show so you can watch it in the comfort of a couch with your feet up, and going to a formal dinner where you have to smile and personally play nice with the people that want nothing more than to find another reason to mock him.

Maybe he likes gettin dressed up all fancy and doing those formal dinners, but I sure as hell would prefer knocking back a drink on my couch for 10 minutes while rolling my eyes at a stupid TV show.

I have a hard time believing most politicians are in their right minds...

Well, he's not real good at laughing at himself, so he's better off taking yet another vacation.

The thought has crossed my mind a time or three as well. Talk about free advertising!
I've thought just as much that there are some other heavyweight politicians (or just fat old rich men) that are highly upset that their control of the presidency has been removed or is quickly slipping away.

There have been calls for Alec Baldwin or even Barack Obama to come in his place as the President. Apparently, even Reagan managed to call in to the dinner after he was shot.

And I tried to pick an article from a "reputable" news source (aka one not currently banned under the Spicer regime), but honestly I can't keep track of the list except that Fox News and Alex Jones are acceptable; but I'm pretty sure my laptop is set to detonate if I access those websites.

Typical behaviour from a schoolyard bully ,he can dish it out but not take it .
Perhaps they should have a chair with an orange on it to represent President Snowflake .

 

[sr71plt]

I'm sure the dinner will be much more palatable to all with him not there.

 

[mark_j]

Blah, blah, blah, blah.. Truth be known I don't think anyone really cares.

I certainly don't

Blah, blah, blah, blah I don't care - but let me stop and take the time to post about how much I don't care.

We have all been enriched now for your not caring. Thank you.

The question arises then why did you make the effort to post about it? The lying of you Trumpsters is so transparent.

Probably hard at work rooting out felonious holdover Democrats in the Deep State violating federal law leaking classified information to the media.

And I'm sure he'll enjoy his dinner that evening much more than he would at the event.

Why do you say "yet another vacation"? He works every damn day!! Sorry if him playing a round or two of golf is a problem for you.

Well, he's not real good at laughing at himself, so he's better off taking yet another vacation.

 

[DaniCalifornia]

I wish he would ignore the media more often.

‘Sort of snowflake-y to me’: CNN panel jabs Trump for being afraid to face WH Correspondents’ Dinner

Trump proves once again that he has fewer balls than GW Bush.

In breaking with the longstanding tradition of attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD), Pres. Donald Trump has shown that he is an unusually thin-skinned and “snowflake-y” president, said a panel on CNN Saturday afternoon.

“This is a data point in a larger trend,” said anchor Brianna Keilar. “There is this big divide in that the press is being demonized by Pres. Trump in ways, but he’s being dishonest himself about some things.”

“Republicans always criticize the media,” said New York Times TV critic Bill Carter, author of The War for Late Night. “This has reached a point where it’s over the top, actually. Any story that’s critical of him now becomes ‘fake.'”

“And I think the fact that he’s bowing out of this dinner,” Carter continued, “it has a little bit of the quality of ‘You can’t fire me, I quit.’ because a lot of people are dropping out of this dinner.”

Sam Bee said she wanted to throw a dinner for anyone who wanted to resist the WHCD Trumposity. That would probably be more fun.

‘Maybe Frederick Douglass can take his place’: Twitter rips Trump for backing out of WH Correspondents’ Dinner

Trump ought to use this as a way to use Silver Mikey and send the VP in his place. That way Mikey can enjoy the rubber chicken, laugh at all the jokes and still have time to 25th Amendment Trump before June!

Personally? Is he like the Presidential Jason Bourne? *Now visualizing scenes involving tiptoeing around in darkened offices with stealthy movements to avoid detection from bumbling security officers.*

No worse than the rest of you swinging dicks pontificating day and night about shit that doesn't matter..

Well, see now, you DO care about this thread. You posted again. You're such a liar.

His feelings must have been hurt when we stepped on his swinging dick by pointing out his not caringness.

One of us perhaps should apologize......

Of the three, I would think it would be him--for going out of his way to care enough to post and then to obviously lie about caring--but I doubt it will occur to him that the dumb behavior was his.
