President Donald Trump made a surprise call into Bernie and Sid in the Morning today and said hell most likely bail on the White House Correspondents Dinner again.
Nerd Prom is coming back to Washington at the end of the month, and that has prompted a lot of speculation about whether the president would attend this time or skip out like last year. As Trump spoke on the radio about the recent Gridiron dinner, he went into his usual criticisms about how the press is so bad, so fake, and make up sources all the time while covering his administration.
Theyre like novelists. I call them novelists, Trump said. Now in some cases theres sources, but then they wont do it correctly either.
Trump finished up the segment by saying he probably wont do the dinner again.

(16,940 posts)they'd show highlights of past dinners, including the "roasting" the President Obama did of him a few years ago!
The roast begins around 3:15 - and you can see the steam rising at around 3:45 !! (but the whole thing is just so great to watch!)

(16,423 posts)He doesn't throw the presidential pitch because he's an obese old man.
He doesn't want to go to the WH Correspondent's Dinner because he can't do comedy.
He would have to give a funny speech and the only comedy he knows is insulting other people.
