Trump Will Ditch The WHCA Dinner Again Because It’s ‘Boring’ And ‘Negative’ ‘not a safe space’

Early reports are that Chenow has requested an empty chair be placed on the dais to which he might pose some questions. He has said he doesn’t expect the chair to answer him.

While of course this one is worse because he’d be openly mocked, all that’s required to qualify as “boring and negative” to Trump is any event that doesn’t involve:
A) Officials engaging in humiliation rituals effusively praising Trump
B) Crowds of MAGA hat wearing cultists wildly cheering no matter what Trump says, even the parts where he goes off on tangents that don’t make sense even to them
C) Both A and B
D) McDonalds

He can sure dish it out, but he can’t take it. Fat Wuss.

Exactly, and he knows he’s really not funny. It wouldn’t be a friendly room with a bunch of people forcing themselves to laugh at his jokes (Well, except at one table). He’d bomb terribly and he knows it.

The president’s sense of humor is much more sophisticated.

Might I suggest Nuremberg? It has all the right connotations to inspire your base.

You know how lost his couple hundred cultists would be in that setting?

The people who attend the WHCA are the people who elected Trump. They made the choices to give him air time for attention and ratings. No doubt they had pressure from above, but it was on them. They could have quit on principle if it came to that. Nobody did. That Trump is now dissing his PR team, knowing they will still have his back no matter what he does, is pure Trump. If I was Trump I’d be worried that showing my PR team even the tiniest bit of respect would break my spell on them, cause them to spend time reporting actual news instead of “news” that isn’t really.

They went the wrong way inviting Chernow. They should have invited the most brutal comic they could find. Burn him down.

I wonder what comic the media will browbeat into an apology for making painfully accurate jokes this year?

I wish there were some way for the Congress to cut off his Air Force One and expenses for these Nuremberg gatherings. Let him use his own alleged gazillions of dollars to fund these hatefests.

Your memory’s a bit faulty there maybe. I can’t say the media, including and especially the electronic media, have never focused too much on the lurid and controversial at the expense of the more substantive issues. But I could make a pretty good case Trump was very consistently treated as an oddball outlier candidate, luridly interesting but no chance, and every shocking incident was greeted with a chorus of “This finishes him” from the people you so blithely accuse of a conspiracy to put him in office. The thing started really going south, the phenomenon began, when he started winning primaries. At that point he was legitimate news for reasons that should be obvious. The GOP and its voters legitimized him. I can’t be bothered to point this out every time someone makes this lazy and complacent charge but once in a while I just have to clear my throat and say it’s nonsense. The fact that people I respect here repeat it doesn’t change that.

[Trump] says he likes “positive things”
O irony, irony, wherefore art thou irony.

Heck, can’t Boeing lend him a 737 MAX to get around in? They seem to have a bunch sitting idle at the moment. Save a bunch of money, and since Elaine Chao was certain that everything’s hunky-dory with it, no reason to not use them.

People who write are his mortal enemy because he can’t write and would fear what they wrote if he could read. People with words at their disposal are the enemy to a guy who only has a series of superlatives in his vocabulary which he places here and there in every sentence.

PP will never get on board with irony.

Like that would be a “savings.” Trump would simply bill the US Government for use of his plane, at double the usual rate, and charge everyone in his mandatory security detail the Concorde rate for their seats. Just like at his Mar A La Go place and all the other golf vacations he takes at his own properties.
