The President tweeted his announcement on Saturday. Donald Trump will not be attending the White House Correspondent's Dinner on April 29. The President tweeted the news on Saturday.
"I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!" Trump tweeted.

Now, Bloomberg and a few other will change their plans, and they WILL be attending the next Pity Party afterall.
This is the way a President should behave.
Tear down the deep state beginning with the media.
This is a poke in the eye. Long overdue.
ABOUT freaking time. This time-wasting idiocy isn’t what we elected Trump to do.
While they are all there, he should sign like ten executive orders cramming his reforms down their throat just showing that his agenda is not going to be slowed.
Good for Trump.
Good, that dinner won’t make America great again.
Send Steve Miller to address the gang.
Never did like the concept. It’s like protocol for the Prez to be there. Not any more!
“blocked from attending a Friday White House press briefing.” This is the brick in the wall of Fake News. They were not blocked from a “press briefing” which is held in the big room. This was a pre-briefing “gaggle” in Spicer’s office. They’ll all be at the real briefing.
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS since Nov 9th, I just LOVE this POTUS!!!
Trump doubles down. Nice play.
Trump doubles down. Nice play.
Excellent!
He’s going to crash and burn this event and kill it for all time. Good for him.
This is good news. The left wing DNC branch known as the mainstream media hates Trump to the point that I would be afraid for his safety. Excellent decision.
Is this the stupid dinner where they make jokes about the President? Trump doesn’t have time for that nonsense.
“Is this the stupid dinner where they make jokes about the President?”
last year all the jokes were about Trump anyway, so it’s like it already happened.
I hope Mike Pence isn’t going.
Until they respect him and his 60,000,000+ voters,he should not attend.
