Trump Says He Nixed White House Correspondents Dinner Because They Make Stuff Up

President Donald Trump says he decided not to attend this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner because its members “make stories up” and “create sources.”
“Over the years, you make a mistake, I fully understand when they hit you,” he said in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends that will air Tuesday morning.
“But when they make stories up, when they create sources – ’cause I believe that sometimes they don’t have sources, you know, the sources don’t exist,” Trump continued. “Sometimes they do exist, I’m not saying all sources, but I do believe that a lot of the sources are made up. A lot of the stories are made up. I believe a lot of, the stories are pure fiction, they just pull it out of air.
“Now, with all of that being said, I just thought it would be better if I didn’t do the dinner,” Trump concluded.
Then, he added: “That doesn’t mean I’m not going to do it next year, but I just thought it would be better if I didn’t do it this year.”

I agree with him. As many on the left say - cut out the crap with the media and get to work.
Yet when it tries to make the first move towards a little tranquility, boom, he's thin-skinned.
No satisfying you people.

They do make shite up. He does, too. It's pretty sad all around.

Wait doesn't Trump make stories up and fabricate sources- that's something he does on twitter and in speeches all the time.

Yet he's probing his own staff for leaks.

Dinner has become a bunch of arse-kissing and lobbying anyway. I think it's good he's not attending.

Like sources that will prove a birth certificate is fake?

I still think he should show up but serve frank and beans on fine china to all the attendees. You know, to save money and balance the budget.

Me too. He needs a safe space and is afraid to go. If he doesn't go, they can't hurt his feelings.

Again for the 14,000 time - the Clinton campaign of the '08 election started that lie, not Trump.

right but even if you grant that Trump was tweeting about "confidential sources" telling him the birth certificate was fake up through 2012 and later.

Neat. Another stupid thread about nothing. Nobody gives a frick. Just let us know when Trump orders the IRS to target the dem's...or swaps 5 top Al Qaeda terrorist for a Army deserter, who got several of his fellow troops killed while looking for him, there are at least a dozen more, but your petty shite is stupid as frick.

You do realize this dinner was why Trump ran for Pres and why you are currently crying daily

He's not going because he would have to sit there and take it in stride, which he is incapable of doing.

Arpiao concluded it was a fake.

I was responding to a post with a lie. Content of the lie wasn't important.
