Why would you possibly expect the victim of bullies to purposely show up so they can bully him some more? What has been done to Trump by the media is not something that should be taken "good naturedly". When your friends tease you a bit, it's all in good fun. When those who profess their hatred of you daily do it, it's no longer a genial good time.The fact that THEY decided Wolf had gone beyond the bounds and decided to not have a comedian this year shows where they are coming from. Trump still wouldn't take his fragile ego there, even without a standup comedian to tease him.You think this is all about Wolf? Then why has Trump ignored it EVERY year?Trump has kicked in the teeth a long standing tradition where NORMAL people who were President could take a joke and even poke a little fun at themselves; just a lighthearted evening where the President and his historical adversaries, journalists, could put down the spear for an evening and just be friends.There are actually a lot of great things happening in America if you'll open your eyes.
BTW, I think that its not to late to make the White House Correspondents Dinner Great Again.
If I were running the outfit, I'd sign a 99 year contract with the Trump International in Washington DC to assure it will be at a first class , 5 star joint that people would want to go to.
Second, I'd give the conservative a chance to criticize the Left, put the so-called journalists in the hot seat and see if they can receive criticism as well as they can give it.
Trump's ego is way too big for that.
The Journalists didn't just "poke a little fun" at President Trump at all at the WHCD.
They may have done that with their friend , Obama, but not at Donald J Trump. Look at the transcripts of Michelle Wolf's 2018 commentary. Is fat-shaming Governor Huckabee's daughter really just "poking a little fun"? Mrs. Sanders is a good friend of President Trump.
Its partly about Ms. Wolf, she was definitely beyond the pale as far as her actual Hatred of President Trump.
Trump can deal with good natured ribbing, but that's not what she did. The hiring and performance of Ms. Wolf shows where the WHC's are coming from.
