My dream is that as soon as Herr Drumph is announced, the entire press corps will rise, turn their backs and leave the room. Do not give an audience to this sociopath, pedophile and murderer. Let the post-Trump era begin tonight.

THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL, SeniorSue!!

THAT would keep us ALL going!!

I would also love to see a large group of journalists stand up and turn their backs on Trump in protest. Of course they will be booed and dragged out by the cult members who will attend.

I used to love to watch the annual WHCD because it was always a joyous occasion, filled with camaraderie, laughter, self-insulting humor and fun. But all of that instantly disappeared with Barrack Obama’s epic roasting/takedown of DJT in 2011, - which was absolutely hilarious and brilliant - obviously infuriated Trump, who’s ego is so fragile, so thin-skinned, so afraid of being laughed at, belittled and ridiculed in public - one could see the anger swell up in him like a gigantic plume of dark smoke. It looked like his rotten brain was going to explode!

So I will not boost ratings by watching the event live, because I already know the event will be an over-blown, bowing-down, ass-licking focused on honoring djt instead of a tribute to journalism and the first amendment that guarantees free speech.

I’m sure what’s left of our honest press corps will share any protesting with us tomorrow.

Merry, it is just another sign of Trump's deep-seated hypocrisy that he hates being mocked, imagining mockery often where there was none, but in any case, hates it because he just can't handle the mockery's truth in his case. Then, he turns and mocks, insults, and maligns others, proving his thin-skinned whiny white boy hypocritical nature. Ugh!

Merry's avatar

Did you see trump’s reaction on the 60 minutes interview he did last night?

He so set himself up and she NAILED him! Priceless and hysterical! Then of course he called her a horrible person…

Too late for snubbing him, he never should have been invited, they screwed up.

Grace Lawrence's avatar

YES. AND. A total in sync walk - out would be the BEST result !!!!! Who knows? Maybe that is the Plan. WouldN’t THAT be something to see ?

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Laura, and with what happened at the dinner, he thinks he can now use it to get his ballroom approved and paid-for by the American taxpayers. One can't help but think this was a setup probably initiated by Vought, Vance, Miller, or Musk, possibly Theil or a subset of this crew. These white men have no moral compass.

Sandy's avatar

...and moon him before they leave the room. Be grossly disrespectful on the way out. He does not treat others with respect and does not deserve to be treated with grace and respect back. Let the people laugh at him as it happens. Respect is earned, not expected nor can it be bought.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Mary should be there and be first in line!

Sally's avatar

Not only that, his name should be REDACTED wherever it appears, just like it is in the Epstein files. On buildings, (black plastic and duck tape should work) in news reports, magazine articles, on TV (redact his face since he thinks he’s such a victim), every photo, every social media repost. Refer to him as Prez. Redacted. He made that bed, let him lie in it.

To update my comment on my wish for tonight, I certainly did not wish for violence. However, why is the press so surprised that Herr Drumph engenders “terrorism”and violence? Drumph does everything he can to kill, maim, imprison, and generally beat the crap out of every non-white being, including children. So why should this be a shock? Certainly, he will soon hold his press conference with his damn fist raised up in his “FIGHT” mode. He is insane, demented, demonic and should be removed from office. I am now hearing Van Jones on CNN giving Trump credit for Trump “doing a good job tonight” by “addressing the public tonight.” Really? They do not see his megalomania and his admiration of violence? Give me a break.

About Presidents and fast reactions, remember when a fly was annoying our great President Obama? He grabbed it, one try no votes, no discussion no rapes, one quick grab and that fly was history. Dopey don could have AI fix it up so he would get it but all you would get is laughs. To say he’s lost a step would be the understatement of the new century.

Kathy Roeske's avatar

That would be awesome!

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Sorry, the damage is already done. The members of the White House press corps who have any integrity won't be there anyway.

Sally's avatar

The WH press corpse? They’ve shown us over and over that they have no integrity.

Sally's avatar

Or even a pulse.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Ha! All we have to do is pronounce the "s" in "corps"!

Deborah Cox's avatar

I agree totally I wish they would

June Kimmel's avatar

Wouldn’t that be heaven!

Priscilla crigger's avatar

Just another scam shooting with secret service

Mark Morey's avatar

Instead, most of the mainstream media has reassured the public that “President Trump is Safe” after the <“‘assassination attempt>’”…

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

I must say disappointing in so many ways.

Diana's avatar

I can’t wait to read my favorite substacks about the shortened correspondence dinner!

Queen Ida's avatar

They all left the room, alright. But not for that reason. 😊

Betty's avatar

It’s as ugly as him!

Suede67's avatar

Indeed. And with how truly vile he is that is not an easy feat.

pilar's avatar

It probably smells like him too. 💩💩

Ken Eatherly's avatar

To recycle a line from one of his favorite campaign anecdotes: “You knew I was a snake when you invited me in.”

Chloe Ross's avatar

He said it wrong. Should have been "slithered in"...

Ken Eatherly's avatar

Vampires also need to be invited: They can’t come in on their own.

Ken Eatherly's avatar

I think he often does. It’s called projection.

Kathy Hughes's avatar

He was speaking of himself!

Diana's avatar

I detest it when he talks in the third person- who does that except …. The Liar in Chief‼️

Sky Blue's avatar

I vacillate between wanting trump permanently gone and wanting him to hang around long enough to take down EVERY SINGLE ONE of his regime and followers with him.

Because trump IS GOING DOWN more and more EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Because what DECADES of HISTORY have shown us ALL...

trump has NO LOYALTY to ANYONE ELSE EVER...

and EVERYTHING trump TOUCHES DIES!!

Debi's avatar

and Karma is a bitch - may I live long enough to see Felon47, his family and his enablers ALL held ACCOUNTABLE for at least a good chunk of the evil they have wrought.

Diana's avatar

You got it Sky Blue‼️

Caryl Scherptong's avatar

The WHCA took down the pants. That's my comment on this miserable move to invite Donald Trump to their dinner party. The man who despise free press and free expression invited as Honoree speaker at that event! How low can someone sink to appease that bag of garbage?

Steven Branch's avatar

Actually, it would be that bag of shit, Caryl

Janet Bergamo's avatar

How can we rid ourselves of this malignant narcissist? With each passing day Trump becomes more dangerous to humanity. Congress rolls over and plays dead (while enjoying their paycheck, funded by our tax dollars), the majority of Supreme Court nods and smiles and takes fancy vacations, funded by — yes, our tax dollars. And the war is ignored by the people in power. Oh, forgot to mention Trump’s fronto temporal dementia

Lynn Armstrong's avatar

But this time with some kind of insurance that it absolutely can’t fail!

Sandi Bohle's avatar

Amen, Mary! The WHCA has betrayed its fellow journalists. The clown will, of course, believe it's all about him. Maybe he'll attack someone in the room and once again embarrass himself.

Carl F's avatar

I agree, Mary, with everything you wrote. I majored and received my degree in journalism during Watergate. I, like most others I knew, was appalled at Nixon's treachery and his hostility toward the press. After he resigned, I never imagined that there would be an equally hostile president toward journalists again. Donald has far surpassed Nixon's level of animosity. Donald will of course use his speech to further belittle and insult the WHCA members, and the WHCA will have only itself to blame for allowing him to be there. As soon as that starts, every journalist with any amount of self respect should immediately stand up and leave. I know I would.

Kathy Roeske's avatar

I would attend just so I could walk out on him.

Diana's avatar

What a time in history to cover the news during Watergate-it seems tame now compared to the daily shenanigans of this administration ‼️

I would have liked the network newscaster back in the days take on this incredible time in history. Cronkite and others must be rolling in their graves‼️

Chloe Ross's avatar

Mary would know from the jump just what he is capable of doing. I trust her above all the others....

Max Jodeit's avatar

Mary Trump, Thank YOU!!!

Jessica Rath's avatar

I bet he'll fall asleep, but that doesn't let the spineless WHCA off the hook. Why didn't any press person organize an alternative Correspondents' Dinner? And invite Barak as speaker? 😉

Nancy M's avatar

I hope he falls asleep!

Debi's avatar

That would have been perfectly wonderful - but everybody has to walk in such fragile egg shells these days to avoid the ire of the Draft Dodger in Chief, Felon47.

Deidre Lisenby's avatar

Uuuuuwwww.... that would be perfect !

Diana's avatar

Oh I know it-I miss him ‼️

Laura A. Drury's avatar

At least Frank Figliuzzi (former Assistant Director for counterintelligence at the FBI) won the lawsuit that Kash Patel had filed against him…the case was dismissed! At the WHCA Dinner, they should serve the same rationed food that our Troops are being fed in Iran! I heard that video clips of Donald and Epstein are going to be projected on the building outside—😂! The entire administration is a disgrace!!

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Mary I hope you were invited I haven’t seen anything about it but you should be there!

Laura A. Drury's avatar

I’ll bet now she’s glad she wasn’t there!

Kim Hamblin's avatar

Doesn’t the WHCA ALWAYS invite the sitting President?? He acts like it’s never happened before…🤦‍♀️

Linda Roberta Hibbs's avatar

Thank you for the article, Mary. I agree with the fact it’s enrich itself with Veterans Affairs Departments. Stealing travel pay. The people in travel pay laugh at, the fact. Why heck ya they are scum who served this, country. Even those who voted for the, President are finding bills unpaid by the department of Veterans Affairs. Yet our Senators and those who are coming home from or have come have come back, according to their families, are failing to pay for their care with the war in Iran. They showed how those Veterans on the streets of New York are going hungry and have to get food. Apparently prices are way too high. , If you like honesty and integrity in reporting, Please subscribe to Mary Trump Media.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Linda, You should know we hear of low really low food to active duty in Iran right now. Is that true?

June Kimmel's avatar

I’m not going…my gay guy friends are taking me to see Cyndi Lauper, thank God or I would be forced to watch it, which I don’t wanna do. I just pray that he embarrasses himself tonight as he does on a daily basis…

Sarah's avatar

Cyndi Lauper! The first concert I ever went to was hers, and it was an amazing performance. I envy you🎶 Have a blast!

Chloe Ross's avatar

Thank you so much! I lived in NYC during the Marla Maples. days. He has only gotten worse.
