White House Correspondents’ dinner 2018: Who’s going, who’s not, when and where to watch

The dinner is 4/28 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time.

“The Daily Show” correspondent Michelle Wolf is hosting the dinner, marking the second time in a row that a correspondent from the show has hosted the event. Wolf appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” April 16 and taunted Trump about coming to the dinner, saying, “I dare you, you poor little man. I'll give you five dollars if you come.”

“The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year’s dinner ...” Margaret Talev, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said in an April 6 statement.

Instead, Trump will hold a rally.
“While the fake news media will be celebrating themselves with the denizens of Washington society in the swamp that evening, President Trump will be in a completely different Washington, celebrating our national economic revival with patriotic Americans,” Trump campaign chief operating officer Michael Glassner said in a release, CNN reported.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is attending as a representative of the administration and will be at the head table.
The dinner is typically livestreamed on C-SPAN and on various news organizations’ YouTube channels.

3. "...with patriotic Americans"

4. Translation, Trump will spend time with traitors, against a good life for all Americans .

Always believe the opposit of whatever they say. If they blame us it means they are doing it.

5. Trump doesn't have the ability to sit and be roasted

It's not in the character of a career narcissist

6. One more thing...

I doubt Sarah Huckaby Side-eyes could take a joke even if it fell out of the sky and landed on her face!

9. but

he was brave enough to maybe run into Parkland High School without a weapon if he had only been there.

he's a legend in his own mind, a hero in his behind..

Where's he going on our tax dollars this time? Ohio? West Virginia?

11. Trump also said ...

He would run into a building,
unarmed,
in which there was a killer with an assault rifle shooting people,
so Trump could save them.

8. Will they roast SHS instead?

It wouldn't be as fun if they roasted someone who wasn't present.

10. Suckabee will get an earful and a faceful of what she is paid to suffer.

Her right eyebrow will get a workout tonight...
