Time to bust Major Garrett down to PFC Garrett.

The fact that the article even needs to be written is already proof that Trump is right.

My favorite was the year all the DC glitterati competed to get Kato Kalin at their table.

“But no self-respecting White House reporter has ever been a president’s prom date...”

Did he ever see the 0bama ass kissers and swooners at the events during the 0bama administration? Apparently not, or he couldn’t possibly make that statement with a straight face.

‘because the press should not be Mr. Trump’s “prom date”’

And yet, for the last 8 years, the Press and Hollywood not only went to Obama’s Prom, but went to bed with him and left the next morning for that walk of shame, still dressed in their tuxedos and gowns........

The whole thing is a stupid charade. But if he cancels, “thin skinned” would be permanently tattooed onto his legacy. Best to go, have better joke writers (will be tough, but he did it at that priest dinner with Hillary), and somewhere within his monologue deliver the kickintheballs line.

Something like “you know, I don’t know why this has to stay a permanent tradition. Every member of the mainstream media in the room hates half of America. Yeah, I know they hate ME, but I’m just one guy. The sad thing is that they hate a lot of you, my fellow Americans. And they want our readership, our views, but they don’t even make a PRETENSE of delivering honest information! They don’t even try. Their agenda isn’t delivering truth to you Americans. We can ask what their agenda is on another occasion, and for now we can have our fun, but I do wonder whether there is a point to continuing this dinner in future years.”

Then he goes right back to his jokey monologue.

It would be classy and it would be going along, but it would make a yuge point!

I liked him when he was working for Fox News and was kind of sad when he was leaving. I wished Rivera, or Shep Smith would have gone instead

How juvenile. Media afraid our President Trump will choose to start a food fight with them? Citizens are well aware of what the media is, even though they picture themselves as being something other.

Cancel the dinner. Use the time to better advantage.

Trump is like feeding a ram jet more oxygen.

The more it gets the faster it goes.

He gets more attention and eats it up.

This is a vestige of the old, collegial days. I say skip it. Of course, the MSM will say they shamed Donald into skipping it. However, they canceled first. Touche!

The WH Correspondents’ Dinner should be discontinued. Don’t these MSM idiots realize how bad it makes them look? Trump should definitely skip it.

On the morning of the dinner, Trump should schedule a “major policy address” in Boise, ID, jump on AF1 and force the press vermin to either follow him out there to “cover” it or go to their circle-jerk in Washington.

Who would want to eat with fifth-column leftist media scum and then try to keep it down?
