He'll sell the venue out. Don't worry.

The dinner has been about giving pats on the back to people who don't deserve it for a long time now, so a president on shaky ground could use it to make themselves look humble and butter some talking heads up a bit.
The problem is that Trump is an egomaniac who would endear himself to nobody.

Lincoln's train tour to the inauguration I guess?
Pretty sure there's little or nothing close to semi-regular rallies during a term.
For entertainment everyone should watch Colbert rip Bush a new one at that dinner.
Trump's a total pussy, basically.

So Matthew Good, a canadian musician, just dropped this new track. The video speaks for itself.
Thought it was fitting.

There should be protests outside the White House 24/7. Americans just don't give a fuck.

You can rest assured that that dinner is going to turn into a Roast.

I hope so. Hope someone carries it live so I can watch, but I have no hope for our media.

That orange turd just can't take a joke, can he?
You've become such a cynic after the Trump win, that you pretty much sound like a Trump supporter anymore. Do you even realize that?
It's truly pitiful, especially when there have been former presidents who actually had good reasons for declining to attend (i.e., JFK as a result of women having been banned from attending all the way until that crap was dropped in 1962, and Reagan for recovering from getting shot a month prior).
Doesn't even surprise me that the manbaby wants yet another rally to massage his ego instead.

Momentarily putting aside that it's Trump we're talking about here and the reasons he is doing this are pathetic, I am not bothered by the act itself. In fact, I think it's a great way to keep the base engaged, informed and excited. I might not have minded if campaign Obama had stuck around a bit more to fire up the base throughout his terms.

They had a live feed for one of them, I remember watching it before.

It's on a night where the president traditionally gets roasted by the press.

He is such an insecure man, it goes without saying. Can't handle the pressures of possibly being jokingly insulted at the correspondent dinner, so instead he holds his own rally to make himself feel better. Great!
It's literally a pep rally. Go team!

I'm sure. But I'm sure they will just air the Trump rally, just because of how unhinged it is. Thinking more people will watch. People love drama.

I 100% expect him to talk about how mean Washington is.
I think I agree. I'm not opposed to the principle of them.
But can you imagine of Obama DID do them? My God would the Republicans thrown a hissy fit. Wasting money, stroking his ego, riling up the masses.

I eagerly look forward to having a Democratic President around to unapologetically rile up Republicans. If that lot is upset we're probably doing something right.

This is only going to make the jokes better.
How could you not? Trump's election has been the repudiation of decency. America has proven that it is a fundamentally indecent society that has no problems with sexism, racism, fascism, and authoritarianism, as long as there are enough '"libtard" tears to quench the thirst of bigots.

It's been what, about a hundred days now and I am already lost for words regarding Trump.
This is what I look forward too. Wonder if Ivanka will be there?

I can't be the only one that finds these rallies, more than disheartening, but really really chilling as a template for more charismatic people to use and manipulate public opinion with once in office, right?
Woodward as in author Bob Woodward?

The President's the most powerful man in the world. This is a ritual to show he's gracious, has an even temper and can take criticism. The fact that Trump is not going means none of those things are true about him, which is troubling.

I'm sure the conservative channels will host him, and the other channels will have the Dinner. I'm not super worried about it. Besides, the shit talking will be way hotter when he isn't there.
Yes, and Carl Bernstein, the people who broke Watergate. I may actually watch the corespondents dinner this year, it beats the heck out of the comedy shtick they usually put on.

Because the name pretty much explains it.
It is the White House throwing a dinner for the press.

You know, he's hoping to draw attention from the dinner and he's surely going to comment on ratings if he's moderately successful in doing so. It would be hilarious if Obama was at the dinner in his place, overshadowing his little rally. That would piss him off so much.

Only about a quarter of it. And then about half is lazy or entitled assholes. But there are a few good eggs.

I mean you're not wrong but I'll never take the stance of "if you can't beat them, join them"
I got to believe that somehow we'll come out of this for the better. So far the special elections have been very uplifting and signs of change brewing.
