Trump says he will host a ‘positive’ rally instead of attending the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner
WASHINGTON — No, thanks. President Donald Trump says he’s got better things to do than attend the “boring” and “negative” White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
Presidents and first ladies have traditionally attended the event, a fundraiser for college scholarships where politicians, journalists and celebrities mix. A number of reporting awards also are distributed at the dinner. Trump, who has long had an adversarial relationship with the news media, also held rallies on the same night as the dinner in 2017 and 2018. Throughout his presidency, he has criticized the “fake media” and “dishonest” reporters, singling out specific journalists and news outlets.
