There wasn't a comedian there last year.Wanna know what I find funny as hell? Last year, Trump refused to attend the WH Correspondents dinner. Apparently, because he didn't want to hear jokes at his expense. But, they did jokes about him and Sarah Sanders anyway.
So this year? No comedians are going to be allowed. They are going to have a PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN give a talk instead.
And, because there are going to be no comedians, Trump says he might go this year. And you thought Trump wasn't thin skinned....................

President Trump said he might attend the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner because the organization has decided to host a historian — not a comedian.
“So-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian,” Trump tweeted from his Mar-a-Lago resort Tuesday night.
“Good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition! Maybe I will go?”
Wolf was criticized last year for making jokes about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ appearance and makeup choice. She also compared Ivanka Trump to an “empty box of tampons”
On Monday, the White House Correspondents’ Association announced that the headliner for April 2019 event will be historian Ron Chernow. It would be the first time in more than three decades that a comedian will not perform at the annual gala.
Wolf has been unapologetic about her appearance and blasted the decision not to have a performer in 2019.
“The @whca are cowards. The media is complicit. And I couldn’t be prouder,” Wolf tweeted on Monday.
