Last night Trump decided to skip the White House Correspondents Dinner in an effort to demonstrate his hard stance on various news outlets attacking him throughout the election and after Trump was…<\/b>
\n\u201cOkay. So let\u2019s dedicate this to General Kelly, the Border Patrol, and the ICE agents for doing such an incredible job. All right? This was written by Al Wilson, a long time ago. And I thought of it having to do with our borders and people coming in and we know what we\u2019 re going to have. We\u2019 re going to have problems. We have to very, very carefully vet. We have to be smart. We have to be vigilant. So here it is, \u2018The Snake.\u2019 It\u2019s called, \u2018The Snake.’\u201d
Trump spoke from behind a lectern as he relayed pity for the journalists who were back at the party.
\u201cI could not possibly be more thrilled than to be one hundred miles away from Washington\u2019s swamp\u2026 They\u2019 re trapped at the dinner\u2026 Which will be very, very boring.\u201d
Trump began reading the lyrics to an expectant crowd, \u201cOn her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake, a tender-hearted woman saw a poor, half-frozen snake. His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew. \u2018Poor thing,\u2019 she cried, \u2018I\u2019 ll take you in, and I\u2019 ll take care of you.\u201d
Trump took a moment to explain the message in more relative terms and added, \u201cThe border.\u201d
\u201cTake me in oh, tender woman. Take me in, for heaven\u2019s sake. Take me in, oh, tender woman, sighed the vicious snake. She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk and laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk. She hurried home from work that night and as soon as she arrived, she found that pretty snake she\u2019 d taken in had been revived. Take me in, oh, tender woman. Take me in for heaven\u2019s sake. Take me in oh, tender woman, sighed that vicious snake.\u201d
Don’t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.

On Tuesday, President Trump insisted his stance on building a wall has not changed and that he is committed to his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border. Trump tweeted, \u201cDon\u2019 t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help top drugs, human trafficking, etc., \u201d
Throughout the evening, several speakers at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner had much to say about Trump and his stance on the media.
Trump has become the first President in decades to skip out on the annual gathering between the White House and the reporters who cover the presidency. The White House Correspondent Association President, Jeff Mason, assured a ballroom of journalists who attended the Saturday night gathering that they were, in fact, legitimate journalists\u2019 .
\u201cWe cannot ignore the rhetoric that has been employed by the president about who we are and what we do\u2026 We are not fake news. We are not failing news organizations. And we are not the enemy of the American people.\u201d
Former President Barack Obama and actor Seth Meyers cracked several jokes about Trump as he sat unamused at the 2011 White Correspondents\u2019 Dinner.
