White House Cabinet Secretary Bill McGinley issued an order Tuesday that all Trump administration officials must join their boss in boycotting this yearā€™s White House Correspondentsā€™ Association dinner, according to CNN.

This is certainly a demand where jobs are threatened, as opposed to legally enforceable, right? Can Trump dictate what staffers do in their private time?

"You are hereby forbidden to attend Knicks games, James Dolan pissed me off!"

Can he do that?

If the ā€œcorrespondentsā€ havenā€™t yet figured it out, itā€™s time to stop coddling and treating the DoTUS with kid gloves. Bring on the most merciless comedians! Itā€™s not like Trump or his toadies will even be there to take offence.

WH Staff: Boycott WHCD for meā€¦
McGahn: Lie for meā€¦
Border Patrol: Break the law for meā€¦
Kilne: Ignore Dem Subpoena for meā€¦

Whatā€™s next for his minions?
ā€œWill you kill for me?ā€
Been there done that with Matthew Calamari!

Is there anything this Lawless Individual1, an Un-indicted Co-conspirator, not ask his minions to do?

Re: this is on the WHCAā€™s (collective) head. He was never going to be satisfied with the new moves and heā€™ll keep pushing until the group has to take a real stand.

Will Fox News attend trumpā€™s anti-media event? After all, as ā€œGOP Propaganda ā€˜R Usā€, even trump doesnā€™t consider Fox to be part of the media.
