Trump says won´t attend White House Correspondents´ Dinner
The White House Correspondents’ Association protested the way in which the briefing was conducted.
I think it’s – kind of naive of us to think that we can all walk into a room for a couple of hours and pretend that some of that tension isn’t there. That’s the way it is’. That speech is used to reflect on the progress of the previous year and help set the president’s agenda for the coming year.
Mr Trump built his presidential campaign on criticising the mainstream USA press, whose editorial boards overwhelmingly opposed his election. “You never know what’s exactly happening behind the scenes, you never know”.
Fox & Friends: Can we talk about president Obama? And some of the leaks … possibly come from that group. But.in terms of him being behind things, that’s politics. He is facing an unusual post-election situation no other new American president ever had to deal with.
Trump has been wrong about Obama before. The president shocked D.C. media elites and politicos when he announced on Twitter Saturday that he would be skipping the event where the commander-in-chief is the most-anticipated speaker. He did not attend because the Governors’ Ball was on Sunday.
On Friday, Trump attacked the media in most of his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. I’ve watched it for years.
‘And they always like pulling out the race card. The last time one didn’t attend was back in 1981, when Ronald Reagan gave it a miss, but he had a good excuse, having just survived an assassination attempt, and he still managed to phone in to joke around with journalists. Nobody loves it better than me.
In addition, several news organizations had also already made a decision to skip, or scale back their involvement in, this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner in protest of Trump’s ever-escalating war on the media. They have no sources.
“We’re going to have it fixed, and we’re going to repeal and replace, and I think you’re going to see something very special”. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who owns the company, called Donald Trump a “dangerous demagogue” during an address at the Democratic National Convention in July. He hinted to the television program what legislators can expect to hear.
