President Donald Trump is skipping the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2019 as he has done in past years.
“The dinner is so boring and so negative,” President Trump said on his way to the border Friday, as reported by the Washington Times. (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/apr/5/donald-trump-says-hell-skip-wh-correspondents-gala/?fbclid=IwAR0Gj8JggdwbHNJcdwAjlEgCF8t0Et_oSq0GsC2e vZ90zEBStctcCRqdi7o)
While the D.C. reporters enjoy each others’ company without the president, Trump plans to convene a competing rally so his supporters can watch Trump instead of the vitriolic Correspondents’ Dinner ceremony.

One of the gems from last year's keynote comedian.


Mike Pence is very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which, first of all, don’t knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you’ve got to get that baby out of there.

‘BORING’: President Trump To Skip The White House Correspondents Dinner





Bold move by bold leadership.

Although, question will come up, was Obama WHCD interesting? Because he did attend then.
It would be tad bit concerning if Sorro's horse without any reality TV showbiz background can have a more interesting TV cameras media productions than Adelson's who was a top rated reality TV star.

A pair of RussiaGate conspiracy theorists (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/cnn-caught-red-handed-making-up-russian-collusion-stories-refuses-to-retract/) at CNN who spent the past two years attempting to destroy President Donald J. Trump are now characterizing his refusal to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner as an “attack” on the media.
Brian Stelter characterized (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curtis-houck/2019/04/23/drama-queen-stelter-complains-trump-skipping-whcd-attack-against) Trump’s refusal to indulge the corporate press as “another example” of the Trump “administration’s attack against the media.”
He justified his claim by whining that Trump is “having a rally this Saturday instead of attending the dinner and I do think it matters mostly because what it means about these tensions continuing to escalate.”
Stelter appeared on CNN Newsroom with fellow anchor Brooke Baldwin.


“You know, say what you will about the press, this is an event that honors the First Amendment,” Baldwin said.
Stelter replied with a diatribe, playing the victim:

Yes. That’s what it’s about, It is an awards dinner and a fundraiser. In the past, presidents have shown up even if they were angry at the press at any given time and, importantly, it’s useful for White House aide to smooze with reporters. It’s helpful for us to get to our sources. There’s some value in these sorts of festive events, but it is, as you said, another example of a tradition at least being put on pause during the Trump age.
When will the self-important hacks at CNN realize that they are unimportant shills of the Democratic Party establishment, and that this sort self-aggrandizement is unbecoming? Perhaps never.

“And it is no secret the President likes to insult the free press but now we’re learning the White House is actually telling the administration officials so boycott the dinner celebrating the First Amendment,” Baldwin whined, reiterating her point that somehow skipping the event is an affront on Americans’ Constitutional rights.
CNN can pretend that it deserves your respect. But after attempting to sabotage a duly elected president, it doesn’t. And it never will.

President Trump bailed on the White House Correspondents Association Dinner Saturday night - instead heading to Wisconsin to deliver a fiery speech to a packed Green Bay arena.

"There’s no place I’d rather be than right here in America’s heartland… and there’s no one I’d rather be with than you, the hardworking patriots that make our country run so well," said Trump.
Meanwhile, a sad trombone could be heard whomp-whomping at the Trump-less WHCA dinner - where instead of the traditional comedian, association president Olivier Knox balled up his fists and gave a fear-mongering sermon about poor MSM reporters who Trump has endangered with his rhetoric.

It's hard to accurately convey the somber, post-Mueller report tone in the room shared by hundreds of journalists who have peddled Trump-Russia conspiracy theories for more than two years.

"I don’t want to dwell on the president," said Knox. "This is not his dinner. It’s ours, and it should stay ours. But I do want to say this. In nearly 23 years as a reporter I’ve been physically assaulted by Republicans and Democrats, spat on, shoved, had crap thrown at me. I’ve been told I will never work in Washington again by both major parties."


"And yet I still separate my career to before February 2017 and what came after," Know continued. "And February 2017 is when the president called us the enemy of the people. A few days later my son asked me, ‘Is Donald Trump going to put you in prison?” At the end of a family trip to Mexico he mused if the president tried to keep me out of the country, at least Uncle Josh is a good lawyer and will get you home"
"I’ve had to tell my family not to touch packages on our stoop," Knox bemoaned. "My name is on a statement criticizing the president for celebrating a congressman’s criminal assault on a reporter. I’ve had death threats, including one this week. Too many of us have. It shouldn’t need to be said in a room full of people who understand the power of words but fake news and enemies of the people are not punch lines, pet names or presidential. And we should reject politically expedient assaults on the men and women whose hard work makes it possible to hold the powerful to account."

He would rather have a crowd telling him how amazing Donald Trump is. He will probably still be holding rallies even after he is out of office. (That could be a hard transition for him- going from being the center of attention). Last time he went to that dinner people (Obama) made fun of him. Now he is trying his hardest to be the anti-Obama.

Today caught a glimpse of MSNBC clip called "Not the WHC dinner" that appeared to be a parody and the speaker made crude joke , something like 'there was so much black in redacted Mueller report' and MAGA birther controversy, joke sounded racist.
