President Trump blasted the White House Correspondents Association dinner as a “very big, boring bust” whose host “bombed” while talking up his appearance at a Michigan campaign-style rally.
“While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D. C., just didn’t work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust…the so-called comedian really “bombed.” @greggutfeld should host next year! @PeteHegseth,” the president wrote on Twitter on Sunday, referring to Fox News personalities.
The president declined to attend the annual gathering of Washington, D. C., media Saturday evening for an appearance before supporters in Washington, Mich.
” Great evening last night in Washington, Michigan. The enthusiasm, knowledge and love in that room was unreal. To the many thousands of people who couldn’t get in, I cherish you….and will be back!,” he added on Twitter.
It’s the second time Trump has snubbed the affair.
President Ronald Reagan skipped the dinner in 1981 because he was recovering from a gunshot wound after an assassination attempt.
Comedian Michelle Wolf remarked on Trump’s absence and roasted him with his comments from the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that came out just before the 2016 election.
“Trump isn’t here, if you haven’t noticed. He’s not here,” she said. “And I know, I know, I would drag him here myself, but it turns out the president of the United States is the one p—y you’re not allowed to grab.”
