Come out here and fight like a man!!
Don’t hide behind Sarah’s skirts!!!
From the White House Correspondents Association:
“The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year’s dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend and join us as we celebrate the First Amendment.”
“I’m just excited Sarah [Huckabee] finally gets to go to prom,” comedian Michelle Wolf joked to The Daily Beast ― in reference to the news that White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders would represent the Trump administration at the head table at the April 28 event.
Trump himself will not attend, for the second year in a row.
The White House Correspondents’ Association hosts the annual shindig traditionally frequented by journalists, celebrities and the president. Margaret Talev, the association’s president, confirmed via a tweeted statement on Friday that Trump is planning to skip this year’s event:
Trump has repeatedly attacked the media, and often dubs news outlets that report critically on his administration as “fake news.” In 2011, former President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Meyers both used their speeches to poke fun at then-reality TV personality Trump.
Last year, Trump became the first president not to take part in the dinner since 1981, when then-President Ronald Reagan was recovering at Camp David from an assassination attempt and gave his address by telephone.
Curmudgeon at Work 
The Orange Meanace didn’t go last year either. Imagine having to hide behind Sarah Huckabee Sanders all day long! Must be a strange and twisted world back there.
Amen
Maybe if they held it one of the Orange Blobs resorts he’d show up, knowing he was making money off all the “Fake News” personnel!
