Next I expect to hear them cry that they have a first amendment right to the President’s attendance at their nerdfest so they can ridicule him to his face over dinner.
One of the most powerful videos in recent history is from this event when Obama was lambasting Donald Trump. You could see Trump sitting there looking ever so galant in white tie, calmly watching, listening with a polite if only barely detectable grin, and just below the surface seething... making his decision to not only run but win and dismantle Obama’s so-called presidency.
As Obama stood on the stage, ever so confident and feeling quite splendid and proud of himself as he let his nasty comments fly, little did he know that his legacy would be dismantled by the man he targeted with his nasty barbs. It was his if, in those few seconds the next president was born!
Very telling, very intense and for me personally very wonderful!! #MAGA #GODISGOOD
I’m waiting for him to not pardon the presidential Thanksgiving turkeys. A silly tradition since some turkeys end up getting slaughtered anyway, so why not the first two.
I think that’s different. It’s just a fun thing, recognizing a national holiday, and hurts nobody - except maybe some nutsy PETA folks.
I want him to have a big social event dinner at the White House with his cabinet and WH staff. Celebrate his first hundred days. Send the evening out on face book and with Twitter pictures.
Each year Obama pardoned a turkey, they still had turkey for Thanksgiving. So some turkey died just not THAT turkey. The sleight of hand a magician or con man would do (in plain sight).
San Diego Comic-Con International, a major international fan convention
The White House Correspondents' Dinner, an annual dinner involving major political and media figures
So skip the Washington thing, but Comic-Con is a must.
Point is, if MSM makes fun of Trump behind his back, it shows the pettiness of the media.
Not an Obama thing.
JFK and Nixon spared gift Thanksgiving turkeys. Reagan was the first to call it a “pardon” and the practice has stuck.
Correspondents? I don’t see no stinkin’ Correspondents around the White Trump Tower.
Maybe they can have Diamond and Silk instead.
Yes, it was. I watched on TV. Maybe you meant to say not just an Obama thing.
Thanks. I thought I had seen all the crow eating vids after the election. Somehow missed this one. Revenge a dish best served cold.
There is officially a new cool kids table at the fraternity rush.
He'll have the turkeys shipped to Mar Largo for Thanksgiving dinner.
Besides....let’s look at all of the famous people who never got a dinner.
Uncle Remus, who said to Uncle Ben, “You’re a credit to your rice.” Never got a dinner!
Crispus Attucks, who said, “Don’t shoot till you see the whites!” Never got a dinner!
Ben Hur, who said to his sister Ben Him, “We’d better swap names before they start calling me Ben Gay!” Never got a dinner!
Queen Elizabeth, who said, “Not now, I’m on the throne.” Never got a dinner!
Sophia Loren, whose new baby asked her, “Is all that for me?” Never got a dinner!
Dolly Parton, who said to Mrs. Olson, “Yes, they’re mountain-grown.” Never got a dinner!
Orson Welles, who said to Anita Bryant, “Stop picketing me. What I said was I was a thespian.” Never got a dinner!

They already are petty. The most we can hope for is the conservative media (as few as they are) breaks away and stops carrying water for the liberals
How about a Governor’s Ball?
Maybe he can have a fundraiser for vets or something.
The purpose of this dinner is for journalism scholarships, so who in his right mind wants MORE journalists in this country?
There is no reason for Trump ever to attend this dinner of haters.
“Nerd prom”—LOL!
