President Trump bailed on the White House Correspondents Association Dinner Saturday night - instead heading to Wisconsin to deliver a fiery speech to a packed Green Bay arena.
“There’s no place I’d rather be than right here in America’s heartland… and there’s no one I’d rather be with than you, the hardworking patriots that make our country run so well,” said Trump.
Meanwhile, a sad trombone could be heard whomp-whomping at the Trump-less WHCA dinner - where instead of the traditional comedian, association president Olivier Knox balled up his fists and gave a fear-mongering sermon about poor MSM reporters who Trump has endangered with his rhetoric.
It’s hard to accurately convey the somber, post-Mueller report tone in the room shared by hundreds of journalists who have peddled Trump-Russia conspiracy theories for more than two years.
“I don’t want to dwell on the president,” said Knox. “This is not his dinner. It’s ours, and it should stay ours. But I do want to say this. In nearly 23 years as a reporter I’ve been physically assaulted by Republicans and Democrats, spat on, shoved, had crap thrown at me. I’ve been told I will never work in Washington again by both major parties.”
“And yet I still separate my career to before February 2017 and what came after,” Know continued. “And February 2017 is when the president called us the enemy of the people. A few days later my son asked me, ďż˝?Is Donald Trump going to put you in prison?” At the end of a family trip to Mexico he mused if the president tried to keep me out of the country, at least Uncle Josh is a good lawyer and will get you home”
“I’ve had to tell my family not to touch packages on our stoop,” Knox bemoaned. “My name is on a statement criticizing the president for celebrating a congressman’s criminal assault on a reporter. I’ve had death threats, including one this week. Too many of us have. It shouldn’t need to be said in a room full of people who understand the power of words but fake news and enemies of the people are not punch lines, pet names or presidential. And we should reject politically expedient assaults on the men and women whose hard work makes it possible to hold the powerful to account.” (h/t Grabien).

Why should President Trump attend a dinner with “alleged” correspondents who support nothing but a GANG-LIKE, MOB-MENTALITY. He doesn’t need to be THEIR TARGETED PUNCHING BAG. LET THE FAKE NEWS TEAM ROT IN THEIR OWN POOP! What they did last year to Sarah Sanders is “unforgettable” and “unforgiveable”, particularly that crooked-mouthed, evil, so-called comedienne.
SO right on!
Whine, whine and more whine! Maybe if you MSM types would try reporting events of the day, instead of trying to be the events of the day, you wouldn’t receive death threats!!!
Are you suggesting that because journalists are “trying to be the events of the day”, they deserve to receive death threats?
Actually, they should be arrested and tried for supporting the Obama Coup to overthrow the government.
Trying to overthrow the duly elected president is sedition, a criminal offense.
People do not like being lied to, which the MSM does a fine job of. As for the death threats, that is going a bit to far, but people can become angry, and say things they should not say. The MSM has been doing that for years. It can be seen that as far as they are concerned, only they know what the people should think, believe, and accept as the truth. Rather blather and his reporter coop were doing that during Vietnam. They could not simply say what was going on, they had to try to get us to believe that what they said was going on, was the true reality, and it wasn’t. They have not changed since then. So, while it should not be condoned, if the reporters are getting abuse, they open the door to that due to their own actions. Do you like being told, effectively, you are nothing more than an uneducated fool, and that you must have someone tell you what to think, because you are to stupid to know what to think, much less respond properly? If so, then the MSM is your group to rely on. For myself, it is best to ignore them.
I say that they have NO right to use OUR airwaves her in the United States to spread their LIES and UNVERIFIED accusations against anyone they please!
They have gotten away with far too much spin of the facts, making up their own stories with their own political tilt to every thing they report.
The so-called news reporters and their associated networks have become a “Let us entertain you” type of news reporting facility instead of actually finding the true facts and the news worthy stories to report to the American people and indeed the world.
The News media for the most part have become the propaganda machine for the Liberal left democrats and the waco political correct milenials and other UN-Patriotic, anti-American, anti-2nd amendment, anti-fossil fuel, anti-baby, anti-family, anti-military, anti-Christian, anti-American traditions, anti-history, anti-education, group that there is!
The News media in this country and indeed around the world has been boughten off by George Soros, Obama, the Clintons, the Bushes and many other politicians that want a ONE WORLD ORDER and want the rest of us to be their SLAVES.
I hope that every person out there especially people of the different races of color start realizing who it is that is trying to keep them in the slums, it is the LIBERAL LEFT DEMOCRATS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES.
The NFL is another group along with most of the PRO-ENTERTAINERS in Hollywood who are in bed with these Liberal democrats and they are the ones that REFUSE to show any support for the poor, the uneducated, the homeless, the drug addicts, our veterans, our military or our police departments. These same people are now up in arms about President Trump’s proposal to bus the overflow of MEXICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to THEIR SANCTUARY CITIES. That should show everyone these Liberal Democrat asses TRUE COLORS!
Go President Trump, keep being a thorn in the Liberal democrat’s side and support our constitution including the 2nd amendment. Keep up your efforts to fulfill your campaign promises and you will win by a bigger margin in 2020 than you did in 2016.

Pappy A Vietnam ere veteran.
Journalists are the excretement of the USA…….They have totally forgotten how to process TRUE JOURNALISM……..They have earned the total name of liars, idiots, and ignorant journalists…..
So what if he is??
The MSM ilks are nothing more than propaganda producers for the Democrat Party. Your article sucks of “poor lowly me” attitude. Why is the President so upset with us, you ask? Because you have chosen to use your rags for political partisan objectives instead of reporting (accurately) the news.
Amen!
If you want people to believe in you report what everyone says and that includes what Biden’s senior adviser said about White People leading the Democratic party. That is part of the problem. You are not equal in what you report.
FOR YOU MSM ATTENDEES….BOO HOO…. CONTINUE ON WITH ….YOUR…..ANNUAL DINNERS WHERE YOU DESERVE TO CHOKE ON YOUR WORDS AND RE-PAST.
PRES. TRUMP MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE OF WHERE TO SPEND THAT TIME…WITH OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE FAIR, LOYAL, AND HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO APPRECIATE HIS DEDICATED, HARD WORK FOR THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.
CONTINUE ON IN YOUR BLATANT ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY GOOD WITH YOUR EVIL PLOTS.
ALWAYS….. RIGHT IS RIGHT; WRONG IS WRONG. ONE SHINES; THE OTHER STINKS LIKE ROTTING FLESH.
BOTH HAVE CONSEQUENCES; HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES WILL BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THOSE YOU’LL REAP…AND TO DISCOVER THAT YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN A BEVY OF SCORPIONS, SERPENTS, BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS DRESSED IN FANCY CLOTHES TRYING TO EAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Amen and Amen!!
And what exactly is the Democrat Party and its propaganda arm? Well, when it became unpopular to be found out as a member of the Communist Party of America, members joined the rank and file of the Democrat Party. Therein lies the reason for thuggery, lies, name-calling, pro-abortion, voter-fraud, and violence coming from the Democrat Party liberals. And most of the MSM is a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.
They had the pillory set up for Trump and they were going to dump tar and feathers on him, as good fun, you know, but the uncooperative president didn’t show up.
Why should the president of the United States of America attend a dinner with all of the lying negative haters that have been doing nothing but criticizing every little move he makes from the time he became president because they are trying to turn Americans into mindless democrat party puppets like they have become . The main stream news have lost their ability to report facts and to be free thinkers because they spend too much time pandering to the leaders of the democrat party . If Trump went to that dinner it would be like sending someone into a room filled with angry hornets because like the hornets they do not have the ability to think and all they know is bite, bite, bite . President Obama spent eight years hiding out in the White House taking up space and only making this country less respected and weak but these people loved him . Trump did the right thing by staying away.
News Media? What a joke. You peddle lies long after actual facts come out to the contrary. 85-90 percent of your reporting is negative as the country sees record low unemployment within all races, repeal of stupid, restrictive regulations, new America-first attitude, international respect, energy independence, and a fresh optimism. You seem to be leading the new Democratic Segragationist Party using identity politics and fringe elements to separate the country. Keep it up. You’ll simply be at the same level of grocery store tabloids and gossip rags. What a pity. The truth will set us free… and bury you.
For two long years, the so-called journalists of the MSM followed and accepted the false narrative of a Trump-Russia collusion hoax. They grinned and salivated all over their rags, and gritted their teeth with expectations of prosecution.
The “News” and Entertainment media has BROUGHT THIS ALL ON THEMSELVES, MR. KNOW IT ALL!
LOOK, you suppressed all the real info on B. Hussein Obama. You all carried the water for the Left Wing dingbats and now you wonder why you are not respected?
By no means are threats against you and your family acceptable. I do sumpathize with you there. But you have Bern a part of an industry which is hating on the president that any of us voted for and support. Besides, ITS NOT YOUR JOB!
Your job is to report the news!!!
The Left has used your “esteemed” group to try and keep the public from knowing the truth.
We all know much more than you think. And we aren’t buying your left wing socialist communist propaganda anymore.
The public does not respect you because all you do is lie to the American people. You even lied to your in son. You know darn well Mr. Trump is not dragging journalists to prison. It was your guy, B. Hussein O. who spied on journalists, tapped their phones, etc.
You and your colleagues, would go much better going back to the basics:
WHO,
WHAT,
WHERE,
WHEN,
AND HOW.
Tell your son the truth. Your profession is and has been a part of this witch hunt against a duly elected president. You all were hating on him before he even took office. You all have lost all objectivity.
Get a grip and look to yourself.
Well said, Ms. Catania
President Trump is the real deal, a man, a patriot and fearless. He has done more for our country in two years than Obama did in 8 years. If the press would just look at the numbers maybe they would see the truth? Maybe. The Mueller report took away their ammo so they can no longer say Trump colluded with the Russians so now their new angle for the next two years is he obstructed! I laugh at the “Fake News” because at every turn Trump calls them out for being liars and low-down-scoundrels. Yeah, I think it is so wonderful that president Trump misses the C-Dinners, thus not allowing himself to be a punching bag for the scum-sucking press and their angry, nasty comedians.
IMO the WH Press Corps is a joke (with perhaps a few exceptions). One poll a few years back showed that only about six percent of the population trusted the media completely. That is a pretty damning statistic. If and when the media ever starts to report accurately without bias, then the media MIGHT start regaining its credibility. But I really see that happening. At least not before another civil war that the left keeps pushing this nation towards. JMO
President Trump did the Right thing By going to Wisconsin. Why would The President attend MSM party for those in attendance would be Bashing him like always. President Trump does not deserve the Abuse & lies MSM has been dishing out for 2 years. We The People Support The President’s actions. MSM only cares about themselves President Trump cares about American Citizens.
Considering the Press behavior I would say you made the wrong decision to to make war on
a truly elected President and the American People. There is one thing God hates more than
Violence and that is a liar. You have pissed Him off with both.
They only wanted Trump there so the camera’s would be there. I watched the rally and never once saw anything about the news dinner, which was great. Wasn’t interested in listening to them Bash our President anyway.
The BS Correspondents Dinner would be a better label for this event. They continually lie to the country and to themselves. Mr Trump said “fake news” was the enemy of the people, not journalists. They can’t even report that right. The safest thing about this dinner was the news that Mr Knox has a child who’ll be taught “it is okay to lie your face off as long as it is for a good cause”. The poor kid.
Trump has more important things to do. Such as going where he is wanted and arraigning his sock drawer
Too funny there not reporters it was a room full of Anti American globalist socialist liberials propaganda machine, a bunch of fake news assholes hell bent on trying to help with the Democrats attempting to remove a duly elected president from office ,
I say piss on all of them and there propaganda Dinner .
Trump 2020 !!!
And WOW…, ISN’T HE JUST TOTALLY FULL OF $HIT!?
“…… THE MEN AND WOMEN WHOSE HARD WORK MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO HOLD THE POWERFUL TO ACCOUNT”??????
OTHER THAN SWEEP THE TRUTH UNDER THE MANTLE OF THE EARTH -NOT JUST THE RUG- THESE A$$HOLES SELECTIVELY REPORT ITEMS AND INTERPRET THEM THE WAY THE DEMO-COMMIES HAVE ORDERED THEM TO! SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE SAME SINGLE MEDIA SITUATION THAT EXISTED IN THE SOVIET UNION UNDER JOE STALIN!
THEY HAVE NOT ONCE ACCURATELY & HONESTLY REPORTED ON THE CLINTON & OBAMY GANGS AND THEIR FOUNDATIONS, OR KING GEORGE, AOC, THE ARAB REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR TERRORIST BUDDIES….., ETC., ETC.!
THEY DISTORT AND LIE ON EVERYTHING SAID, ON THEIR POLLS THEY ASK INCOMPLETE QUESTIONS!
THE NUMBERS THEY ARE ALL SO EAGER TO PRESENT -STATISTICS, GRAPHS, POLLS, ETC. ON EVERYTHING- ARE MISREPRESENTED AT BEST, SO THE PEOPLE -VERY EASILY MANIPULATED- THINK TO THEMSELVES…., HELL, EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS THIS OR WANTS THEM, ETC., SO AN INDIVIDUAL THINKS TO THEMSELVES, “WHO AM I TO DISAGREE”?!
THEY ASK THE QUESTIONS LIKE -DEMO-COMMIES POLLS- “WILL YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN, TO MAKE SURE THE DEMO-COMMIES TAKE BACK THE PRESIDENCY AND SENATE” AND ONLY PROVIDE A “YES” CHECKSPOT. IF ONE DOESN’T ANSWER, THE MARK COUNTS AS POSITIVE BY DEFAULT WHEN LEFT BLANK!
DO YOU SUPPORT “REASONABLE” GUN CONTROL? YET, THEY MEAN COMPLETE GUN CONFISCATION!
WHAT DO THEY REPORT THAT ISN’T DISTORTED?
SO HOW ARE THEY HOLDING THE POWERFUL TO ACCOUNT?
Poor misunderstood news media, they just wanted to show our President love and respect…yeah right! The only news I watch is local, and then I take it with a grain of salt.
Why should President Trump go to a dinner with these horrid people that have called him every name in the book???? Look what they did to a sweet Sarah Sanders last year. Never go again President Trump. They just want to eat you alive. Trump said Fake news is the enemy of the people, not the stupid people that report their version of it. Get a grip you idiots.
According to reports 80% + or- a little and they carry their liberal bias on their sleeves and in their reporting. 80% of the news regarding Trump is negative in the papers and t.v. They slavered over Obama but criticize Trump who has and is doing far more good for the country.
What don’t you as a group try a little -no, a lot more honesty in your reporting. Factual reporting and tell the entire story about Trump, the good and bad. In other fair and balanced reporting for a change. And for crying out loud get out of DC and see what the real country is all about. Not the DC perverted bubble.
I thought Trump made a mistake at his swearing in saying he wanted to “Drain The Swamp”. I thought that was a poor comment to make. I was so naive that I thought that most of the politicians and most of the media were honorable folks and Trump slammed them for no good reason. Boy, was I so wrong ! Most politicians and the media have proved how correct the Trump statement was. Here was a man that had all the money he could possibly want, more power than most could dream of. It appears he wanted to save the USA from all of the thieves who were robbing this country of its future. If Trump had been corrupt like all the politicians and media and would have acted more “PRESIDENTIAL” then they would have dubbed the greatest president ever !
Why would President Trump go to a dinner with people who hate him? I know I wouldn’t. I would also be worried about what was in my food. President Trump ,and Sarah Sanders, have EARNED my support , and my vote.
Why in the world would Trump want to be in the same place as a bunch of people who lied, misled and did everything they could to run him out of office? And now this crybaby is whining about getting death threats. They did it to themselves, nobody forced them. Two years of constant lies, spins to the American public only to be proved wrong will get you a lot of upset people who no longer watch or listen to you. CNN, MSNBC, MSM and a host of others deserve everything they are getting for what they have done. That party looked like a funeral. They may have thought it was a great way to up ratings, looks like they were very very wrong.
When MSM goes back to being TRUE reporters of the news and not the idiotic story tellers for the left wing demo-rats then and only then will the AMERICAN people be able to make their own decisions. The MSM in this country right now sucks and is no better than any news agency that is controlled by countries who are making slaves of its people.
The only reason the so called “Media Whores” wanted President Trump to attend was so they
could continue to lie about him and attack his decisions that are restoring our Nations Honor
and respectability around the world today. They are upset that he denied the that opportunity
to try and get a photo opp or a mis-quote from him that they could twist and turn to their
advantage in the constant lies about him, his policies and to support their Socialist Liberal
agenda to destroy our Nation. Suck it up buttercups you plan went down you leg like a
failed bladder problem.
I agree with the remarks about the mainstream media being liars and propagandists. I also agree with statements about Trump had more important things to do than listen to a bunch of idiots lying and criticizing him. CNN and MSM has done nothing but lie for two years. They praised Obama, a Muslim, who did nothing but tried to destroy our Country, a man who allowed Islam terrorists into our Country, a man who told other countries lies about America, and a man who have money to our enemy, Iran. Trump is working to save our Country from Socialism and Muslim terrorists and these media liars do nothing about telling the truth. Why should anyone listen to sick idiots?
They should hold The Liars Club meeting the same night, same place.
Too funny, if Trump does engage them its fear mongering. If Trump doesn’t engage them its fear mongering. The MSM have all gone completely insane.
These are not Journalists in any sense of the word.
They print Lies and opinion as facts, quote only from Anonymous sources as fact, and are working with the Democratic Party to unseat an elected president by spreading their fake research /Propaganda without verifying.
Not ONE apology to the President for printing Lies about collusion for 2 years or retractions of Fake news stories.
Hopefully the N.Y. Times Printing Anti-Semitic Cartoons will Put the end to them.
THEY are Nazi Germany- with Brown shirts ( Antifa ) backing them
These people should be ashamed of themselves, not patting each other on the back.
Obummer & late night Seth ? insulted DJT so much, why would he wanta sit for more ridicule? Smart move, Mr President.
How can anyone believe these people when they continue to lie to the American public? President Trump never referred to the media as the “enemy of the people”. What the President had said was that “Fake News” was the enemy of the people.
If I were Trump I wouldn’t go either and have to listen to all those lying bastards.
i would NOT set down and eat with any democrat and any lib who believes in the democrat platform.I really believe there are more honest people in prison than in the democrat party and the news reporters. I have not shook hands with anyone including my church that stands with their platform!!!! GO TRUMP!!!
I have never seen a President of the United States trashed so much by so many in the News organization. An they are so stupid to wonder why he doesn’t want to talk or hang out with them. Just shows how ignorant our “News reporters ‘ have become. The more good Trump does the more they trash him. WE have stopped watching and reading anything in (and I use the term very loosely in the Main Stream media).I never thought the news organizations in the United States would become worse than fake news.
Would I attend an event that I knew that I was going to be kicked in the balls? I don’t think so and so does President Trump. He made the correct call to make a patriotic speech!
I told a group before the election that it’s the media who decides who will be president, because that’s the way it’s been the past several election cycles. Pretty much everyone who was educated and followed the news agreed. But that was before Trump and his use of social media. Trump took away the power the MSM had to decide elections and they despise him for that, as well as the fact that he exposed them for what they have become…left-leaning propaganda machines. They have no one to blame for their great fall but themselves, but of course they’ll blame it on Trump. We know better.
Mr. Trump is only calling the news “Fake” because it is one-sided. If they reported on the good and bad things on both sides of the equation, everyone would have a much clearer idea as to what our President is aiming for. His rhetoric isn’t always the best, but I can tell by listening to him and by what he has done so far, that I can let the rhetoric go. Do you really think that a very “POLITICAL” president is the best? Trump is not that - he is the opposite, so he is not going to be presidential when you think he should be. He is an icon - never been a president like him ever that I know of. Give him some kind of credit. By constantly crucifying him, doesn’t help either side.
I trust and like President Trump.
I can not say same for VAST majority of these “attendees”.
Our POTUS has his faults and may be a bit “rough around edges in ways” but I DO believe he loves and respects OUR country and wants USA to succeed and be STRONG and prosperous.
Can not say same about MOST of MSM. Or the d-RAT party most of media’s cheerlead for and
propagandize for.
They should be Fearful because they could all be implicated in the Attempted Coup of a sitting President and Treason for Aiding and Abetting and Conspiring with a Foreign Power the Ukraine!!!
“Drain the Swamp” is the best political statement I’ve ever heard from a U.S. President. It’s very clear what that means. Think about it. Would you rather say “Drain the Democrats”, “Drain the Republicans,” “drain all political people”, etc……………………………It’s said exactly how it means. Get rid of the people who badger, crucify, make fun of, and spit upon anyone and anything they do not like. Shameful. I think we should put the democrats and some republicans in a children’s playroom and let them get spanked if they know what is good for them”. God help those of us that still stand for this country, because that is what is needed now, support for the things we do need. Acting like children and throwing tantrums will not get anyone anywhere. Shame on the Democrats (and the republicans who vote democrat).
a good laugh is when joe biden say’s he is going to help the working class. somewhat like obama did went he ran business’s over seas with his illegal regulations. democrats don’t know what a class on economics looks like,the only thing they have to offer is a welfare check,food card,free education,free health care,free housing and a cell phone for drug dealers to do their business selling opiods.
we no longer have what you could consider news reporters (except for fox). a news reporter would come on the air and tell you what has happened for the day without putting any of their own prejudices on it. today,they don’t even try to hide their personal feelings on the news, and most of the news about trump is ugly at best. i can’t believe they have the nerve to complain about a man they have tried to publicly humiliate and undermine during his entire presidency for not wanting to have dinner with them. truthfully, i think they shouldn’t even have been allowed to have a dinner at the white house, it should have been cancelled.
Start being Fair and Balanced in your reporting
Amen, amen, amen, amen to “all” that was said above. It seems MSM, the prolific fake news producers have had their butts handed to them on one of their silver, dinner platters. Praise God, someone is beginning to get the overall picture!!!!!
