A planned one, of course. But it’s leaked, and now we know all about it. Trump is actually attending the White House Correspondents’ dinner – for a short time. He has a plan for it, and it has to do with that conniption fit mentioned in the title. We all know he hates those dinners because he doesn’t have a sense of humor, and he doesn’t like anyone but him getting an award. If I were a newscaster going to this thing, I would be allllll prepared for Trump. My regards to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump is preparing to throw a scripted tantrum at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this year, reported The Daily Beast on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump will launch a ‘revenge’ attack on the White House media when he confronts them in person at a Washington dinner on Saturday night — then flee before there can be revenge,” said the report.
“He is expected to target publications that he has accused of writing negatively about his administration and his war with Iran, in particular, according to sources.”
It’s not going to be much fun for him if they don’t react to it. Professional newspeople know how to keep a straight face. We probably wouldn’t be able to hold back laughter. Whatever happens with this little plan is going to be great! They should all wear Trump masks. That would really piss him off. And remember, he usually doesn’t stay on script. The results of this should be hilarious! Yes, I am far too entertained by just the idea.
This would track with his recent rants on Truth Social, where he has accused of the media of rigging reports about the Iran war to make it look like it’s going worse than it actually is.
After he is done with his speech, said the report, he is skipping on the rest of the ceremony — in large part because he doesn’t want to stick around for an award being given to a story that revealed his closeness to deceased financier and accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Well, gosh golly gee, we wonder why not? Could it be that he has something to worry about? Nahhh, Trump never worries *cough*, no, not him. He’s not getting any awards, so he doesn’t want to bother to sit through it with other people getting awards. We need to come up with a nickname for Trump-Epstein. There has to be one of you folks with one out there.
“Trump will leave the White House Correspondents’ Association event after making his speech, so he will miss the presentation of press awards — one of which would be certain to embarrass him,” said the report.
“He has told aides he has no intention of still being in the International Ballroom at the Washington Hilton when the Wall Street Journal is honored with the Katherine Graham award for its scoop about a bawdy letter Trump allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday card.”
The president sued WSJ over that reporting, alleging that the birthday letter was not authentic. This month, a federal judge tossed out that suit.
Yea, that suit was pretty worthless. He tries to sue anyone and everyone, hoping someone will cave. Sometimes it happens, most times it doesn’t. Think about the law firms and schools that caved in to him, and the ones that didn’t. Usually, all it does is make someone waste their time and money. Trump wastes his money, too. One of these days, the lawyers who didn’t get paid should sue *him*. Wouldn’t that be a joy to see? So, we know Trump is planning to have a temper tantrum, and we can hope the press will wipe the floor with him about it. We’d laugh for days!
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
The Correspondent’s dinner seem like a great opportunity to wait at the exit with a posse, ready to strap a strait jacket (not a wrap for a narrow water passage between two points of land) on Trump, and whisk him away to a rubber room somewhere./s This would be foiled by the Secret Service, unless…
And again, this is why I love my readers. This is perfect and the strait comment made me spit my drink on my monitor!
