1. DISTRACTION, watch his other hand!

[yeoman6987]

36. He's been there, done that.

Same with throwing a first pitch at an opening game. These are events that won't hurt trump as far as saying no to him as the orioles have told him. We need things he's never done before and THEN tell him no. That's the only way to make him feel bad.

[Kingofalldems]

51. Well yeoman6987, I knew you would jump in to defend Trump.

Just like clockwork.

[Lucinda]

95. No. He's running from having to sit and listen to jokes about himself.

He was happy to sit there and let Obama get beat up, until Obama took the game to Trump.

[LanternWaste]

110. That's a very creative way to rationalize it as something it's not.

That's a very creative way to rationalize it as something it's not.

[groundloop]

2. What a Chicken Shit.... afraid his feelings might get hurt again.

[pansypoo53219]

64. bwak bwak indeed. SNOWFLAKE!

plus he is not funny.

[alterfurz]

78. buk-buk-buk-bwaa-ha-ha!

[Tanuki]

79. ........

[Synecdoche Trope]

3. Trump really IS a Republican

This display of cowardice proves it!

[yeoman6987]

38. He beat CNN to the punch

They were going to announce pulling out. Now they can all go and have a good time.

[Kingofalldems]

52. Once again, yeoman6987.

1. Post your real opinion in the first sentence.

2. The second sentence is for cover in case of jury.

[J_William_Ryan]

4. In addition to being a hypocrite and liar,

Trump is also a coward.

[Desert grandma]

5. He won't???

I can't imagine why not! (sarcasm)

[True Dough]

6. He'll be too busy coloring

I mean, signing executive orders!

[Calista241]

16. Haha. Nice pic! n/t

[True Dough]

18. I'm fond of it too

I can't take credit for creating it, but I thought the juice box was a nice touch!

[MattP]

7. Alec Baldwin you're up

[mdbl]

104. great idea!

Alec Baldwin can go the the dinner in trump's place ROFL

[red dog 1]

108. "Actor Zach Braft suggests that Alec Baldwin fill in as Trump at WH Correspondents' Dinner"

(The Hill, 2/25....HuffPo, 2/26)

If you Google: "SNL - Trump" you can watch a video

"Alec Baldwin time to suit up," Braft, known for "Scrubs" and "Garden State" tweeted

[TimeChaser]

8. Is this like breaking up with someone...

before they can dump you first?

[Tikki]

9. Maybe he is not robust enough to handle an evening type event; is there a health problem?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!


Tikki

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. He's a snowflake. There might be a negative sentence or two about him spoken there. . . nt

[Tikki]

37. I know...but you never know...those photos, all sweaty, from the rally.

Tikki

[Midnight Writer]

98. I hear there are some disturbing videos of him

His skin is orange and he is ranting incoherently.

[George II]

10. The dinner will be more of a success because of that.

[KeepItReal]

11. Well that's one way to deal with a potential media boycott of the event

eom

[briv1016]

12. Now people might show up.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Great. Attendees get to rake him over the coals all night.

[Trust Buster]

14. Chump made the right decision.

[femmedem]

15. The comments on his tweet are hysterical.

[PatSeg]

17. Can't blame him

He knows he is going to be brutally roasted!

[samnsara]

65. i am so gonna watch it now

[PatSeg]

82. Same here

I wasn't going to watch it, but if Trump isn't there, it should be interesting. I'll bet he will be watching it at home with itchy tweet thumbs.

[bdamomma]

89. When is it

scheduled to be on?

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Coward.

[Brother Buzz]

20. I'm thinking his advisors convinced him he really doesn't do well at roasts....

And there's no telling what would happen when he's the roastee.

[Mendocino]

30. I watched that debacle,

Trump was painfully bad. He's rich, he can afford good writers, but you have to think he insisted on scripting that slimy mess all by himself.

[Brother Buzz]

48. You just know he stiffed the writers and only paid them for half of it

And the the writers knew they were going to be stiffed so they only delivered half a speech. He was so-so, stiff, but so-so until the script ended, then it went south. The people behind him were none to happy with it. And the awful part is the orange anus has no clue how shitty and over the edge it was.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. More war on the press

can't fill the shoes of the presidency

[Old Vet]

22. Ever get that feeling that the other shoe is gonna drop real soon.......

I get the feeling the intelligence community has that shoe on..........

[bora13]

23. busy doing the peoples work

like starting a blitzkrieg. anywhere. could be anywhere folks.

[mnhtnbb]

24. Well, of course not. He's a cowardly pile of $hit.

[Paladin]

25. Remember when we had presidents who were grownups?

You know, back just a few weeks ago.

[OnDoutside]

26. Someone had a great idea !

Link to tweet

[Plucketeer]

40. ;Good gawd yes!

This could actually reduce Trump to a weeping pile!

[LakeArenal]

72. It would be so awesome. Baldwin for the Correspondents!! Too good!

[Liberty Belle]

73. Brilliant- Please go to the WH Correspondents page and propose this!

[Vinca]

27. Aw, come on. What if they promise to let you grab someone's pussy?

[C_U_L8R]

29. Now everyone can have a fun evening

Thank goodness. No one wanted to look at grumpy on the dais anyway.

[FarPoint]

31. Idea....

All living Past Presidents attend...In place of tRump

[ButSeeYa]

35. Love that idea! Obama is back from vacation.

[33taw]

68. I agree, bring back Obama. He can just roast Trump.

[Turbineguy]

32. Gee....

and we were so looking forward to his signature self-depreciating humor.

Maybe they can replay some George W Bush comments.

[mnhtnbb]

33. OMG some hilarious tweets in response, including this 'toon

[BumRushDaShow]

46. OMFG

[bdamomma]

90. LOL

now isn't that the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should of had Priebus come in instead of the Lady Liberty.

Funny

[RandySF]

34. They should invite Hillary

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

39. This sounds like a good time for Obama to channel Johnny Carson

[NCjack]

41. #45 has a signed pass from his

dermatologist, who says that his "skin is too thin to attend."

[samnsara]

42. hiding from those he has bullied..?

[Siwsan]

43. Maybe he's still not over the 2011 dinner

&feature=youtu.be

[Ccarmona]

44. He Can Neither Take a Joke

Nor can he tell a joke. Would have been a long and painful night, so no loss.

[spiderpig]

45. Have other presidents (real ones) skipped the dinner?

I thought it was expected that the occupier of the Oval Office attend, but I really don't know much about it.

[RKP5637]

50. I don't think so, as least as I recall. Usually it's sort of fun and the president takes it in good

humor, something totally lacking in this Idiotic Buffoon now in the WH.

[briv1016]

57. Here's an interesting write up on the history of the dinner.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/how-a-journalists-dinner-became-a-celebrity-blowout/2014/05/01/1fae2bb4-cf20-11e3-a6b1-45c4dffb85a6_story.html?utm_term=.f8bc9e5f6ec8

Last president to not attend was Reagan in '81 after the assassination attempt. He did address the group over speakerphone. Before that was Carter in '78 due to "exhaustion."

Before that was Nixon in '72.

[Corgigal]

47. Like anyone wanted to go to that

or watch that. No win/no foul.

[RKP5637]

49. President Asshole won't be attending, Super Flake, BAD! n/t

[moonscape]

53. Him not being there will make it bearable to watch. When I

see his mug on the news I FF through it.

They can have a great time without him!

[MFM008]

54. I would

FRY his ass.

[jmowreader]

55. That's fine. They can invite Obama instead.

[elmac]

56. or my President Hillary Clinton nt

[TomCADem]

58. Please. He just want to avoid the embarrassment of being in a room with Fox, Infowars and Breitbart

nt

[Honeycombe8]

59. He's a-scared. People w/o a sense of humor shouldn't attend, anyway. nt

[ffr]

60. SNOWFLAKE. eom

[jack69]

61. Pork riblet sandwich coming back to MacDon's?

[rurallib]

85. insightful observation - you may have cracked this case

[red dog 1]

62. No surprise to me

Has anyone ever seen a photo of him actually laughing?
(He smiles occasionally)

Cowardly is as cowardly does?

(All bullies are cowards)

I hope Obama is invited instead...or Hillary...or both.

K&R

[womanofthehills]

92. It's so creepy that he never laughs

and the smile is bizarro too.

[red dog 1]

105. + 1

and he very rarely even smiles

I feel sorry for Melania & Barron, despite all the money & "trappings" they have.

[eggplant]

63. WHCA should cancel and donate all of the $ to free speech causes. n/t

[Nitram]

66. Good call. It's a lose-lose situation for him. I doubt he made the decision, though.

He's no that smart.

[yallerdawg]

67. What a pathetic, gutless, amateurish coward!

"True colors come shining through."

I hope to God this steaming, foul, heap of manure doesn't get a second chance.

[alfredo]

69. Good, it was a hassle to send someone out to get him a Happy Meal from Mickey D's

He's such a picky eater

[llmart]

70. I never had any doubt....

that the yellow-bellied chickenshit wouldn't attend. Can't stand the heat.

What a coward, but then we already knew that.

[ClusterFreak]

71. Biggest. Sucky baby. Ever. n/t

[Yavin4]

74. They should invite Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy

And have a good time.

[Achilleaze]

75. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief dodges the possibility truth

what a snowflake

sad

[yuiyoshida]

76. Is that his Poker night at the White House?

probably.

[TeamPooka]

77. Gutless coward.

[Hulk]

80. Coward in chief

Not one bit surprised. He's nothing if not a paranoid coward.

[yardwork]

81. What a baby.

[left-of-center2012]

83. Ticket sales soar!

He'll be watching to see what nasty things are said about him, and who to add to his enemies' list.

[PSPS]

84. Fits the narrative, what with "the press" being an enemy "of the people" (i.e., him.)

[heaven05]

86. ploy to distract media, again

from his coming demise because of all of his crooked and treasonous activities. He'll show up if Baldwin goes, if not, he is the coward he has shown himself to be to be, consistently. Big ploy...distract, divert, lie and hope for his 30% base of racist ignoramuses to remain stupid and dangerously loyal. To hell with boy-potus puppet and his string pullers prezidents bannon and miller.

[KentuckyWoman]

87. Guess he couldn't get a copy of his long form birth certificate in time.

Snark.

[FailureToCommunicate]

88. I heard somewhere that Trump was so cheesed off by Obama at that dinner that

that is when Trump decided to run again 'and show them all'

[Jarqui]

91. He's made so many things I used to watch unwatchable that

I appreciate getting a break to watch something like I used to

[Marthe48]

93. I'd change the venue

j-i-c
what a perfect way to 'manage' your 'enemies': pick a pretend fight, exclude them, have a hissie and refuse to attend their annual meet, and well...... I probably have an over-active imagination.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

94. Check the room for bombs.

And "terrorists".

[nikibatts]

96. Coward-in-Chief.

[King_Klonopin]

97. Is this "unpresidented" ??

Did any other president in the past ever bag out of this event ?

The frail ego of a narcissist on full display.

Who is hosting it ? As noted above, Alec Baldwin would be awesome.

[red dog 1]

106. See reply # 57 for that

and, as of Feb. 22, the White House Correspondents Association has yet to announce who the emcee will be

[gopiscrap]

99. Fuck Trump I hope they rip him to shreds

[onetexan]

100. GOOD RIDDANCE

The Schmuck knows he will be the butt of jokes throughout the evening. I'm sure the comedians will have a field day ravaging him.

[get the red out]

101. Like they want him there

He's playing those Jr high mean girl games again.

[SledDriver]

102. Coward...

thin skinned fucking orange shitgibbon....

coward...

[lark]

103. Big baby can sure dish it,

but can't take even pushback in fun. He has no sense of humor and is way too self important to go to something like this. Why, there will be sure to be many "alternative facts" shared there, lol.

[red dog 1]

107. Upon further reflection, I think it's more than just cowardice on Trump's part,

it's also hatred!...He truly hates many of the White House reporters, imo.

What a schmuck!

[LiberalLovinLug]

109. The best show is going to be Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner

Two miles south of the actual one anyways.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

111. HUGE disappointment!

I hope we will at least get to see Conway, Miller, and Bannon.

Three of my favorite media personalities.
