Trump isn't going to this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner — but he's also not staying in the night. He's holding a 'positive rally' in Wisconsin, and he's skipping the annual journalists' event 'because the dinner is so boring and so negative'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced he will head to Wisconsin for the rally he’ll hold instead of attending the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Several weeks ago Trump told reporters he would again skip the event “because the dinner is so boring and so negative," saying that "we're going to hold a very positive rally instead.” The White House Correspondents' Association bristled at Wolf’s set, and late last year announced that presidential historian and author Ron Chernow would be this year's speaker, breaking from the tradition of hosting a comedian who typically targets the president and others in Washington.
