President Trump Announces What He'll Be Doing Instead of the White House Correspondents' DinnerTownhall, Apr 5, 2019
Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House Friday morning, President Trump announced he will not attend this year's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. He plans to hold a rally instead.
"I’m going to hold a rally,†Trump said. “The dinner is so boring and so negative that we’re going to hold a very positive rally.â€
Last fall, Trump said he "may" attend the dinner. This is the third year in a row he will be skipping the event.
Last year's dinner came under harsh criticism after hired comedian Michelle Wolf viciously attacked White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, who was sitting just feet away at the head table. The Association hired author Ron Chernow to speak about the First Amendment for this year's dinner.
