Trump enters a whole other level of pettiness after he orders his staff not attend the WHCA's annual dinner. It has been ninety- eight years since the first White House Correspondents Dinner and in that time only one President, besides Trump, has not attended. In 1981, Ronald Reagan skipped the WHCA's dinner after being shot from an assassination attempt. This years dinner will not include a comedian, but a presidential historian, after the infamous Michelle Wolf's performance left some attendees applauding and others embarrassed and upset. With Trump and his crew declining to attend certainly won't make any difference to Bill though, it's just means more booze for him!
Today's guests are Ryan Reilly from HuffPost, Niall Stanage from The Hill, and John Bennett from Roll Call.
