Cowardly Trump Disses White House Correspondents’ Dinner…From 100 Miles Away (VIDEO)

Trump Talks Tough On The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, But…

Donald Trump took the opportunity to talk trash on the White House Correspondents’ dinner while safely at his own rally, over 100 miles away.

Have you ever seen a kid talk really tough when their parent is out of the room because he or she knows she can get away with it? And have you ever seen a kid decide that, since all the cool kids are going to a certain party, he’s just going to go to a different party, and pretend that was really his first choice?

That’s exactly what the presidents sounded like, on both counts.

The White House White House Correspondents’ dinner has long been a grand Washington tradition. And it’s designed to actually bring the media together with the president and relieve some of the tension that builds up naturally, no matter who is in the Oval Office. Comedians roast the president – and the press, as well – and the president pokes fun at himself, too. It’s typically a very humanizing event.

But Donald Trump just cannot take the heat. And so, as journalists and comedians gather for their annual tradition, Trump will become the first president in 36 years who doesn’t attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The last one who didn’t make it was President Ronald Reagan…who was recovering from a gunshot wound.

This Is Pure Vanity

But while surrounded by his adoring fans, over 100 miles away, Trump gladly attacked the media. He talked trash on the dinner he is too frightened to attend. But instead of sounding funny, or resolute, or presidential, Donald Trump sounded like a little boy trying to talk tough…while safely in his own room, with the door closed, so his mom can’t hear him.

Let’s be clear on this. The president is not skipping the White House Correspondents’ Dinner because he is tough on media. The man loves the media. Instead, he is skipping the dinner because his vanity and ego, both huge and fragile simultaneously, cannot handle it.
