Bah humbug! Trump CANCELS the traditional White House Christmas Party for the press after a year of 'fake news' accusations and bitter legal battle with CNN after banning of Jim Acosta

Annual event gave the press corps a chance to dine in the White House

Last year, Mr Trump held the party but refused to pose for photos

Now the event has been cancelled altogether, according to reports Donald Trump has reportedly cancelled the White House Christmas party for journalists.

The annual event gave members of the press corps a chance to dine in the White House, wander around the mansion and take photos with the president and first lady.

Last year, Mr Trump held the party but refused to pose for photos and CNN boycotted the event 'in light of the president's continued attacks on freedom of the press'.

Correction: President Trump cancels “Holiday Party” for presstitutes. He did not cancel a “Christmas Party” as he is for celebrating Christmas.

Gee, actions have consequences, who knew? 90% anti-Trump reporting over past 2 years and the MSM is sad over cancelled Christmas Joy. Join Soros for your Christmas!

Other than hoping to convert them so they could repent, why would anyone invite a group of Satanists to a Christmas party? Seems sacrilegious at best, possibly heretical. :-)

Excellent idea!

The MSM hates Christmas anyway, they likely look at it as the Winter party.

Why should the press be rewarded for delivering fake news?
There are many people who blame the press for their negative bias
coverage, not President Trump who was elected.

At least it will give the media something new to whine about. Maybe some will stop to consider how this came about.

He’ll probably have a party for military personnel and their families.

It’s for the best as having a party could be seen as using government funds for positive campaign reporting which is a violation of FEC rules.

If he does that, he should add a live Nativity scene. And, have a reading of the Christmas story from the Bible. Read by someone from the NRA? Oh, and make sure that there is a “red kettle” by the door with a very cheerful “bell ringer” wishing everyone a LOUD “Merry Christmas” as they enter.

This could get good!
