Trump touts rally as alternate programming to correspondents' dinner: 'Will be live on TV'
Source: The Hill
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 04/28/18 10:27 AM EDT
President Trump urged Twitter followers to watch live coverage of his planned Michigan rally Saturday night, seemingly suggesting his rally as alternative programming to the evening's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
In a tweet, the president noted that his rally in Michigan, which is slated to be about job creation and business growth, would be "live on T.V."

2018 marks the second year in a row the president has hosted competing events during the annual Washington gala, which is also typically broadcast live, that honors the press and news reporters who cover the White House.
In 2017, Trump held a competing rally in Pennsylvania, and mocked the press for being stuck at a "boring" dinner in Washington, D.C.

(13,114 posts)MSM should stop giving this criminal free air time.
If he wants his rally covered on any channel, other then Fox, he should pay for the air time.
I don't give a damn about his re-election campaign rallies.
MSM helped to elect this man.
MSM should try to repair the damage they have caused !!!!!!!!!!

(14,179 posts)The news is that he is going to hold this rally to compete with the WHCD. (Because he hates being made fun of)
Not the rally itself.

I hope he gets zero coverage. I'm sick of the media giving this mentally deranged idiot airtime.

(73,631 posts)MCS and MPD had blocked off Hall Road, starting at 94, so his convoy could use all three to four lanes from Selfridge to 53.
I was stuck on Card waiting for the fucker to pass. He must have had every local cop around here, sandwiching his treasonous ass.
As you know, with construction going on right now, traffic is already fucked up. But nooooo...He just had to come here.
Whats the point of him coming here again?

(15,566 posts)I live in Washington. Ugh. Fortunately that Sports Arena is as far away from where I live as you can get and I didn't even know we had such a thing. I haven't met one person who's even mentioned the visit, so I doubt he's very popular in our town.

Or go to the White House Correspondents Dinner,
