I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!

@realDonaldTrump You can have your own dinner with The Gateway Pundit and six blogmasters on Skype.

Trump not participating in the White House Correspondents Dinner because he can neither deliver nor take a joke.

… and if it were to disappear, who would notice?
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER
*Reince Priebus looks out at empty room, save for Axios’ table*
Mike Allen: Mmm, good fish.

@docrocktex26 @pannlewis44 Trump can't attend the White House Correspondents Dinner as he will be busy building his impeachment defense.

Wouldn't be shocked if this is a feint and Trump ends up showing up at the White House dinner in the end.

Odds that the hitch is Trump wanted the WHCD at his hotel?

Im going to suspect there's a part of Trump that is furious he cant return to the center of his 2011 Dinner humiliation as conquering victor

Whatever your politics, this is a great development. Good riddance. https://t.co/58f6CfTjaT

Um, good riddance to the WHCD, or the thing it had become, I mean. If that's not clear. https://t.co/b06lN2T9AI

his next move will of course be to hold some lame-ass rally to directly compete with the WHCD and cable nets will totally go along with it.

7/7 Bonus:
Ideal political speaker lineup for WHCA would be past 2 pres, BHO/GWB
Ideal entertainers: A Baldwin, Melissa McC, Lin-Manuel M— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) February 25, 2017
Even if this lineup is too perfect to happen, could we at least spread the rumor that it will? Maybe “leak” this tweet to the Fox News twitter feed?…
