YES!! This was my first thought when I heard he wasn't going.

I can already hear the standing ovation
andaWoss
I love to see presidents at that ( not murican).. Dammit. John oliver should have been at it..
Psurprise
Someone send out the Trump Signal for Alec Baldwin
PizzaGovorun
ViolentGrace
I dont understand. Can someone please explain it to me? I know Trump isnt going to the dinner, but whats going on with Z.Braff & A.Baldwin?
prfesser
Need to invite Jeb Bartlett. If he accepts, just demand the Republicans elect him president.
MatadoR32
Watching the series over again; in 2nd season. Fucking depressing given current administration. Inspiring, but depressing.
Celyia
I've doing the same thing. Somehow, I don't imagine Reince Priebus insisting on Big Block of Cheese Day.
MatadoR32
Or Toby Ziegler screaming at the press room about crowd size and fake news. Ugh.
Lurkerbyday
On the positive side, at least he wont embarrass us if he doesnt show up.
GnomeDeGuerre
You can't hide him, the world knows your system elected him, no matter where he is.
Lurkerbyday
We can try......so far we have him convinced that he should take 3 weeks off per week of "work".
Lurkerbyday
Actually, someone should make one of those memes "cant be a national embarrassment at the white house event if you don't show up"
ImNvrGonnaGvUup
I would be more concerned that he had plans to do "something" to the White House Correspondents
TheWombatStrikesAgain
He'd probably put them in the Chamber of Easily Escapable Death Traps and then just leave without witnessing their deaths.

The Red Dinner

Use his "son's" company to provide the "wine"
WKBetafiggit
Like Valyrian fire?
evelkweevil
The Trumps send their regards.
ButterfaceTaintClown
A Trump may or may not pay his debts. Without the release of his tax returns we're unable to determine.

Ha!
dazedNconfuzed
They've made it clear the bulk of participants deeply hate him. Why, then, would he go?
eroso
That's his job. He leads the country, not just part of it he likes. Media plays huge part in the society, so it's vital to maintain dialogue
dazedNconfuzed
His job isn't going to parties to be mocked by people openly devoted to destroying him. Their job is reporting news, not making shit up.
platypusgestapo
Awww, you haven't replied to any of these. You're a special snowflake the can't handle losing aren't you?
eroso
But having dialogue with media is. You can't talk about the media as a single entity, so it's bs rethoric. Media is diverse af.
platypusgestapo
We can see his Twitter. What do we have to make up?
tinyhighlife
It's not openly mocked. It's roasted. Just like presidents before him. Poking fun at Trump at the dinner is part of the tradition.
eroso
On average, Trump administration has been making way much more fake news than the Ny Times he criticises the most.
robotzombies
Have you ever seen a correspondents' dinner? Lots of outlets are adversarial to the president. Trump hates direct criticism.
noclueofxenon
Random comment: Is anyone else as hungover as I am today? Jesus fuckin Christ.
noclueofxenon
Tf? Downvotes! Who cares?
RedWebster
I'm dying right now
TheAngryEngineer
that was me yesterday. friday piss up, guinness and bushmills all night long.
noclueofxenon
Cheers. I have a call with my boss tomorrow morning.
TheAngryEngineer
you have my sympathy. good luck
noclueofxenon
Thanks. She did not fire me. Yet.
TheAngryEngineer
Dare I ask what happened?
ayymamacita
What a fukin big pussy. Loves to talk shit on the media yet he wont attend a dinner where he most likely will get roasted.
Dunes8
Even George Bush showed up to his.
ocegur
This one know appears completely normal compared to the current one...
sangheraj
I'm sorry but what?
ocegur
know = now, typo
sangheraj
Hehe, sorry
QuincyEndicott
In fairness that's a very polite way of phrasing it, but I can't believe he's ditching it.
sexymeetzey
Trump stands to gain absolutely nothing from attending, why would he sign up for a night of roasting that can only damage him?
GnomeDeGuerre
It almost seems like an adult decision, he wouldn't be able to handle the roasting.
LosPer
I completely believe it. You don't call the MSM "enemies of the American People" and then break bread with them...
SongandTam
Can we talk about the fact that it's worth commenting on that our president is 'polite' for once? With any other prez that would be a given
ninthjake
Yeah I don't believe for a second that he wrote it. It has got to be his community manager
FlibbityFoobleBee
Exactly
lookingOknaked
Well, Obama ripped on him in one of the C.Ds and he got pissy. Can you imagine what would people do to him this time.
GadenKerensky
Well, as someone else commented, "The roasting waiting for him there would have made him the second black president."
Reilynn
That had to have been one of his staffers. It was composed entirely of complete sentences.
PresidentialRoboHobo
You can actually tell which ones are his and which ones are written for him from the phone used, android = Trump, iphone = staffers
SaraFourImgur
Tremendous. Sad.
aleister94
What is a white house correspondents dinner?
BigTex1
It's a dinner for White House correspondents.
aleister94
Hmm interesting
tinyhighlife
It's an awards dinner for the press. The president ALWAYS goes. Since they started only 2 other presidents have skipped it. Nixon didn't 1/2
tinyhighlife
go because he's an asshole, and Regan missed it because he had just been shot.
MrPresidentDino
*Reagan I share the name so I'm a little anal about the spelling :p
tinyhighlife
Oh. Fuck. I need to remember to proof read. (For real, thanks for catching that)
sexymeetzey
Eh, I can. It used to be jokes made in good faith but with the way the media has been there is too much opportunity for real venom.
TraitorousTrump3
Also, trumps behavior.
sexymeetzey
Well yeah, that too. I just cant really imagine why he would attend, there is very little upside for him attending but a whole lot of down.
StartInternetFights
He way the media has been there??? Lolololol it's the fucking White House correspondents dinner you Ass clown
sexymeetzey
Those correspondents are members of the press that is currently skewering him, why would he attend? Attending is all downside for him.
tinyhighlife
Skewering him like claiming he's false? Or the enemy of the American people?
SPICYDlCKMlLK
As they should be... he should show up instead of pussying out. I don't want a leader who hides and cries due to hurt feelings.
sexymeetzey
There is supposed to be some good faith during these things, there has been zero shown so I can see why he isn't attending.
