It's one thing to not want to attend a function. It's another thing entirely to be ORDERED NOT TO ATTEND. Do you not see that?

    I don't know why he cares anyway.  They watered it down so much now, he could be front row center and nothing bad is coming down the podium his way any more.  He censored everything and everyone.  

    Isn't that why Samantha Bee is hosting the other dinner in protest? 
     

    Samantha Bee has barbs for Trump and gratitude for journalists at ‘Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner'

    A robot version of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. A sensual, slow-jam ode to the Gray Lady. Robert De Niro calling out the president as “a relentless and unrepentant, lying scumbag” to black-tie-wearing guests at banquet tables and the jean-clad attendees in stadium seats above.

    This is the new normal in Washington, where the annual White House correspondents’ dinner has been so pared down that a late-night comedian has taken it upon herself to counterprogram her own affair.

    At the Friday night taping of Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” which will air at 10 p.m. Saturday, the TBS host mercilessly roasted President Trump and thanked journalists “for holding the president and all of us accountable."

    “Journalists put up with a lot with this administration,” she said. “But if Donald Trump really wanted to ruin journalism, he would have put his name on it."

     For years, the correspondents’ dinner featured a comedian ribbing the president and journalists in the room, followed by the commander in chief joking back. But Trump has never attended. Last year’s set from comedian Michelle Wolf sparked outcry from White House officials and some journalists and was labeled by the White House Correspondents’ Association as not “unifying” and “not in the spirit” of the host organization’s mission.
