Participating in the WHC dinner requires a sharp wit, a sense of humor, and thick skin. Trump fails on all three of those. He would look like a petulant kid, pouting in the corner because nobody is adulating him. It is best he not attend, all in all.
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.
Nah. What it showed is that Trump has absolutely no sense of humor & that he's afraid of the press.

You have to be careful not to inflame his fragile ego or he might go on a tantrum, and start a war. Since we all are very aware of what he is and of his volatile disorders, anyone who deliberately goads him into such actions, would have to share the blame for them. He has no self-control and his handlers are either unable or unwilling to keep him in check. Maybe that's what Bannon has in mind, to push the beast into whatever random chaos it might wreak and then stand back and say, "Who, me? I didn't do any of that!".

How silly. Can't imagine why anyone, even his deranged detractors would say that he is afraid of press. If anything he has taken those idiots on in ways that no other politician has dared to do.
It's why President Trump won election with such a landslide over crooked Hillary.

If you mean the media helped him get elected by reporting about Donald Trump more than any other candidate, you're right. It's really hypocritical for someone who used the media so much for decades to slam the same media as "dishonest" and "fake" when it no longer meets his agenda. Take CNN, for example. I can post videos going back over a decade when he eagerly sat down with a reporter on CNN to get his face on TV or talk about his political views.
IOW, Donny's too chicken poop to spend time amongst those he's called liars, crooked, and purveyors of fake news, three things he himself is eminently qualified at..
Nah, he's not necessarily afraid of going, but he is too thin-skinned to handle criticism, even if it's all in fun or for a good cause. I remember when Obama made a few jokes directed at him at one of these events and Trump was the only one in the room who wasn't laughing.

Trump didn't make the media do any of that. And the media was dishonest for a long time. It simply took Trump to expose them for what they are.

How silly. If he was afraid of criticism, he would have dropped out of the race in August 2015 just like all of you claimed he would. (you should have taken lesson from that, then)
