A Boring Bust… It’s Time We End The Out of Touch and Outdated Correspondents dinner.

Published

Trump for the second straight year skipped the annual Washington dinner for reporters, politicians and other famous people — where he, like presidents before him, was the target of jokes by the host.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner ended with a barrage of vulgar anti-Trump jokes by comedian Michelle Wolf, who attacked the appearance of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who was sitting with her at the head table.

What they're saying: White House officials in the audience thought Wolf's patter went too far and thought the attacks on Sanders and Kellyanne Conway were too personal.

Be smart: That creates a new hurdle for the White House Correspondents' Association to lure President Trump, who has snubbed the dinner the last two years.

Why it matters: If the dinner can only attract liberal presidents and liberal comedians, the conclusion is inevitable.
