President Trump announced Saturday that he would not be attending the White House Correspondents Association Dinner in April, punctuating his combative relationship with the news media. “I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!” tweeted Mr. Trump. The annual dinner is a light-hearted affair that traditionally featuring comedians and the president giving roast-style speeches. But Mr. Trump has been battling the press throughout the presidential campaign and has had repeated run-ins with reporters since taking office. He’s railed against what he calls “fake news” and recently denounced the news media as “enemies of the American people.”

Glad to see a president finally NOT go to that worthless event.
US media will be absolutely seething President Trump's quit the #WHCD before they could alll pull out & humiliate him.
Piers probably predicted what would have happened...they would have all pulled out as soon as he accepted. HA!
Good.
How funny would it be if that was a fake tweet and he showed up with his whole family and cabinet and leadership team!!
good idea but possibly too rarified for most folks.
what trump needs to do is to reveal the hypocrisy of the MSM.
add to this trump has a well known penchant for veterans... it was on full display in his 2016 campaign.
the MSM will have difficulty turning down covering a full blown DC fundraising dinner for the veterans, possibly even with entertainment, while covering themselves featuring non other than the MSM, honoring... the MSM.
what trump needs to do is to suck all the oxygen out of the MSM that evening.
All I am remarking is that a veterans benefit dinner in the same city at the same time featuring the POTUS, and maybe the VPOTUS and even the FLOTUS, is one way to do it.
“Light hearted affair” my a$$.
Maybe Piers had some inside info? I think he’s right that they would all pull out of attending if Trump accepted. Further, I think they would pose it thusly: “Well, he blocked CNN from that press gaggle which we all know is the hallmark of censorship. We just wouldn’t feel right attending the dinner while Trump is silencing CNN and anyone else who dares to challenge his lies..........”
Oh I know that not inviting someone to a press gaggle has nothing to do with censorship - it’s just what they would say...
Why would you call these media liars, propagandist, and the collusive corrupt deceivers, “Nimrods”?
I would think Nimrods are all but harmless compared to these evil screw worms.
Good !
Attending their “dinner” validates the legitimacy of these scumbags !
Not this year nor any year. They’ve done nothing to deserve the honor, and they won’t.
I think he should have some kind of glitzy high profile dinner at the Whitehouse
I think he should host Putin that evening!
Oh onyx that would be perfect! I can’t stop laughing

I still remember Karl Rove making me sick by doing some stupid hip hop routine at this dinner. The Bushies played right into the hateful media’s hands. Go Trump.
He should go. He’d be a hit.
He shouldn’t. Reagan was disliked, W was strongly disliked but it was cordial enough that the event could still occur. But they have such a visceral bloodlust for Trump that there is no way this event could’ve occurred.
The media is not covering Trump. They are actively trying to destroy him and his family.
Like everyone here, I’m tickled to death that President Trump is telling them to pound sand.
Even Obamagumbe knew this incestuous `rat love-fest was on its last leg:
“Good evening, everybody. It is an honor to be here at my last — and perhaps the last — White House Correspondents’ Dinner. (Laughter and applause.)”
Go to hell “journalists”! (Laughter and applause from 306 electoral votes.)
Excellent. Let them have their stupid little circle jerk without him.
