White House staff plan on skipping this year's White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner in "solidarity" with President Trump, who has announced he won't attend the annual event this year, the organization announced Tuesday evening.
WHCA President Jeff Mason said the organization's board "regrets this decision very much."
“We have worked hard to build a constructive relationship with the Trump White House and believe strongly that this goal is possible even with the natural tension between the press and the administration that is a hallmark of a healthy republic," Mason said in a statement.
Trump announced last month he would not appear at this year’s WHCA dinner, a break with past presidents.
"Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!” Trump tweeted at the time.
Organizers for the annual dinner said the April 29 event would proceed as planned, despite Trump's absence.

He should go and just shove his win in everybody’s face.
Just like slam everyone that disagrees with him.
Just totally destroy Obama and the democrats.
Make it super awkward, and super uncomfortable too.
Will Jeff Mason be doing stand-up? He’s pretty funny.
why wouldn’t you want to go get made fun of by demonic trannies?
And we've just seen how "unhealthy" it is for our Republic when the press kisses the administrations @ss for 8 long years
Not biting Jeffy
Wow!!
In your face, enemedia!
Why don't you get it?
NOT BEING THERE IS THE WORST SLAP IN THEIR COLLECTIVE FACES HE COULD EVER DELIVER!
April 29. That’s a Saturday.
A work day for my President.
Who in the hell would want to have dinner with a bunch MSM news creeps?
Kinda like the farmer who "works hard to built a constructive relationship" with the turkeys in the yard a few months before the big day.
I heard today the President will also skip throwing out the first pitch at the Nationals opener this year as well.
> Make it super awkward, and super uncomfortable too.
Kind of like what he did to Hillary at the Al Smith dinner...brutal.

Wow, that guy can really shovel it.
Which is exactly what they are hoping will happen. They want Trump to ACT just like THEM, so they can prove HE is just as BAD as they are.
They will broadcast an edited version that is biased, then claim it is proof Trump is not being respectful of the position of President, and that he should be impeached.
Why jump into a pit filled with vipers?
Good, that dinner won’t make America great again.
Do you remember any “natural tension” between the press and Obama? All I recall is their slobbering adoration.
Pres. Trump and his staff should NEVER show up to this ridiculous event.
They should have accepted, taking as man seats as possible, then walk out in unison at the first totally unacceptable ‘joke’.
