Exactly.

Trump is the complete opposite of Obama.

I predict a lot of Trump impersonators will show up and that will be hysterical. He's such an easy target.

A lot of people are saying this is the moment Trump decided to run for POTUS. Boy, what a sweet revenge that is.

He's skipping the correspondents dinner because he has better things to do.

The dumb-dumbs in the fake news liberal media aren't at his level anyway.

Sanctimonious finger wagging -- which is all they are capable of -- is not a worthy challenge.

He has something else in common with Richard Nixon:

Richard Nixon also skipped it twice — in 1974 and 1972. Nixon warned the press he'd do so and followed through. Trump called the press the "enemy of the American people," in a tweet recently. That echoes Nixon, who told the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "The press is your enemy."

Well of course he will skip it. He has absolutely no interest in working with the citizens of this country - and he understands clearly that the free press is his greatest threat. The very first thing any smart fascist does is to take down the press, transparency is anathema to establishing an authoritarian oligarchy. Why is everyone so shocked and surprised by this? He's been setting the stage since the beginning. I knew what we were getting, but I think a lot of his supporters didn't have a clue.

What about "the dinner is still happening" that you don't understand? He doesn't need to be there for them to roast him.
