President Trump Not Attending Annual WHCA Dinner
[guest post by Dana]
Who can blame him?
While some individuals believe that Trump’s opting out of the dinner “suggests he’d rather resign than divulge his taxes, much less divest his assets,” more rational people seem to either not really care, or can understand why the president would decline the invitation. And then there is the priceless response from members of the media…
At one time, political preferences and the advocacy for specific politicians was reserved for the Opinion pages, but for media watchers, we have witnessed the political preferences of journalists become commonplace in the reporting of hard news. There can be no doubt that this president would be facing a hostile crowd. And for a profession where the job is to report the news with at least an appearance of objectivity, to have been repeatedly caught flashing its biased underpants while simultaneously proclaiming members will be fact-checking this administration, (one assumes when not pushing Fake News), the absurdity of such an assembly becomes all the more apparent. Even if for one night. This is what happens when journalism happily surrenders to eight years of Obama worship. There can be little doubt that the preferred side of the aisle remains the left side. And if you’re The New York Times, and just now announcing that “the truth if more important than ever,” all that does is confirm our suspicions that truth really wasn’t the priority these past eight years. Thus the cynicism with which we regard you is obviously well deserved. That said, why would President Trump voluntarily subject himself to an inevitable onslaught of angry and venomous mockery from a group still licking their wounds from the devastating election loss which resulted in their preferred candidate being relegated to attending Broadway shows when she’s not wandering the woods of New York.
Of course, if President Trump had not been exposed early on for telling untruths and denying he said what he provably did say , as well as revealing his own authoritarian tendencies toward the press, the relationship may not have soured as quickly. Further, when the President of the United States continues to blast the mainstream media and refers to specific outlets as Fake News and enemies of the people, as well as echoing Steve Bannon’s accusation that the media “is the opposition party,” it’s easy to see why he would not want to face an assembled group of enemies. And let’s face it, this president is far too thinned-skin, insecure, and petty to be able to enter a den of lions with any amount of self-deprecating humor and aplomb. And while President Trump has made himself an easy target ripe for the picking, there should be no doubt that any Republican in the Oval Office would be targeted by a left-leaning press. It’s just that President Trump has given them way more red meat than I think any other possible contender would have. You can argue that it’s because he is not a politician, nor experienced in the ways of Washington, but I would suggest that to say that is to willfully ignore his fundamental character flaws which are the biggest stumbling blocks of all.
The best thing that can come out of this would be an end to the WHCA dinner. At a moneyed schmooze fest where politicians, journalists, and Hollywood come together in an unholy alliance of smug, self-congratulatory bluster and bullshit, lines get crossed that shouldn’t be, if maintaining impartiality in reporting really matters.
Both the press and the president have shown themselves to be more than willing to be less than honorable when it suits their agendas. Distrust of both is not mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s prudent to view both with a big healthy dose of suspicion. They brought this on themselves.

Good morning.
Dana (023079) — 2/26/2017 @ 11:37 amHello, Dana.
I would also have advised Trump not to attend, except in full hazmat gear, and not touching anything, eating anything or drinking anything.
And the response of the spurned “popular girls” is priceless.
nk (dbc370) — 2/26/2017 @ 11:48 amnk,
That is funny. I would say that the hubris and self-importance of the press blinds the entity to its deceptiveness, but the truth is, it’s all willful and with intent.
Dana (023079) — 2/26/2017 @ 11:53 amVery Tom Brokaw, who has avoiding attending the thing since it went glitzy in the days of Fawn Hall.

NC Mountain Girl (ca196a) — 2/26/2017 @ 12:13 pmI think the event has gotten ridiculous anyway.
It is a nice tradition of respect to an American institution, and I was always impressed that Bush and Reagan went. Obama and Clinton get no credit because they really are on their side.
The democrat that succeeds Trump is going to look so presidential just by showing up.

“The democrat that succeeds Trump is going to look so presidential just by showing up.”
(I get the sarcasm, BTW)
Of course, if the Democrat establishment doesn’t pull its head out of its fat behind, Trump isn’t going to be succeeded by a Democrat. All the signs point to their niminating Shrillay again in 2020. At that level of cluelessness, gods alone know what lame, establishment bozo they’ll put up in 2024.

Pinandpuller (062e66) — 2/26/2017 @ 5:35 pmBack in the ’70’s, I was a news reporter in downtown LA. I remember Judge Wapner very well as he was a prominent judge that had recently ran the entire LA Superior Court as the Presiding Judge.
He and his bailiff, Rusty, came into the press room to tell everyone he was retiring and starting this television show called People’s Court. I though to myself, good luck with that.

AZ Bob (f7a491) — 2/26/2017 @ 5:48 pmTHE DEFINITION OF CHUTZPAH
A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but he never took a pretzel.
And this went on for more then 3 years. The two of them never spoke. One day, as the young man passed the old lady’s stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him.
“Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a very good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has gone up to 35 cents.”

We created the most effective meritocracy ever.”
“But the problem with the meritocracy, is that it leeches all the empathy out of your society … The second you think that all your good fortune is a product of your virtue, you become highly judgmental, lacking empathy, totally without self-awareness, arrogant, stupid—I mean all the stuff that our ruling class is.”

At some point all those Trump voters will realize they’ve been conned. He’s made promises which if fulfilled will make things worse, promises which if fulfilled will actually result in nothing of importance, and promises he can’t fulfill.
Victims of a con man can go through long stags of denial, so this may not happen until after 2020, but it will happen, and when it does, the Democrats will obviously benefit. The later it happens, the worse for the GOP, which will have carried his water all that time. The best hope for the GOP is that voters dump him no later than 2019, which will allow another GOP candidate to emerge in time for 2020. If his name is Ted Cruz, so much the better.

Personally, I think Trump will probably be reelected in 2020, unless he decides for himself he only wants one term. I doubt he will do that. However, being a lousy President and getting reelected are not incompatible things, as Barack Obama proves.

My thought is why a con man would go to all the trouble and abuse of 5 correspondents roasts (attending as the duck) with a matched set of attendance at Al Smith (GOP roasts) dinners, only to blow a kings ransom with a matching drop from protest boycotts?
BTW Al Smith’s Wiki page is sort of interesting. Dude rose to the highest levels a pick pocket could hope to achieve on the drunks and hookers vote.
And yet it says:
“Alfred Emanuel “Al” Smith (December 30, 1873 – October 4, 1944) was an American statesman who was elected Governor of New York four times and was the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate in 1928. He was the foremost urban leader of the efficiency-oriented Progressive Movement and was noted for …”
American statesman – only person wikipedia describes in that fashion.

The list would be shorter if you left out the results linked to the Austin newspaper.
It may be a substitute for politician, or useful for men who also did stuff outside of politics. In Smith’s case, he was CEO of the company that owned and built the Empire State Building while it was being built.

What convinces you that a Democrat will succeed Trump? Several things could happen:
1. Trump is a great success and is re-elected in a landslide. He finishes up his two terms one of the most beloved presidents ever. Unemployment is 3% and the DOW is at 40,000. Pence and Rubio fight it out for the nomination.
2. After losing the House in the midterms (hard to lose the Senate, though) and careening from one disaster to the next, Trump comes in 5th in Iowa. Romney is finally elected President by a nation tired of amateurs.
3. After losing the House in the midterms and nearly starting a war with Mexico, Trump is impeached and convicted nearly unanimously. President Pence serves with distinction until 2028.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 2/26/2017 @ 10:47 pmHollywood loves telling the world how it should be run but can’t even run their own awards show.

The disclaimer PWC has some explaining to do what with the tag at the end of the show about secure envelopes and nobody knowing who wins until they’re opened on the air. Regardless, this is what happens when you let television production parameters run your event. Cub Scouts can do this w/o a hassle, so should Hollywood.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 2/26/2017 @ 11:42 pmOh, I have no idea what’s going to happen. I would have ranked Obama serving a third term as more likely than Trump being elected so I honestly have no credibility on predictions. What can I say?
But I’ll offer a $100 bet to charity of respective winner’s choice that Trump is succeeded by a democrat. If impeached, then this refers to the next elected president.

And you’d think that Captain Kirk, if he took some time and put hismind to it, could figure another way out. He could even take her aboard the Enterprise. But because it is supposed to be about time travel and the past, the writers did it that way.
Sammy Finkelman (8dcc71) — 2/27/2017 @ 7:02 amThe current NBC television series, Timeless, is just gibberish. That can’t even decide whether doing something in the past changes the present or not. They killed the mayor of Chicago maybe 2 years early in one episode – yet nothing. But one character loses her sister, whose existence is nullified.
And none of its basic theme makes any sense.
And they are always traveling to some place and time that Lucy just happens to have researched, but that’s not woven into the plot, which they could do. They get facts wrong too, of course, someof hich is irritating. And we have one character worrying about not carrying ID in 1931 Chicago, yet nobody notices the fact that Al Capone’s brother was able to change and keep secret his identity.

No, they say they have to, and screenshots taken off the TV, show that in fact he got an envelope that said “Best Actress”
The print saying what category it is, is very tiny and at the bottom.
Donald Trump missed a chance for jokes.
