Can't you just picture it now?  Who will they roast?  Who will they rub elbows with?  I think it is great.  It's not like they have had anything good to say about him, do why should he consent to attend their dinner?  Bet you will see a lot of the press not attend themselves.

When I saw that yesterday I thought it was a brilliant move.  The Dinner and Roasting has had some great moments over the years but it is a "Let's pick on Republicans and Donald Trump (even before he was a candidate or president).  I love it.

Now is not the time for jokes.  This guy went into office serious to correct what he has seen for years as urgent problems to address in our nation.  He (against ALL comers and takers, Dems and Repubs, press and print) is doing what he said he would.  Imagine that. 

I think I will establish a Twitters Correspondents Dinner and see if he will attend!

wouldnt upset me if he quit having press conferences al together, as they just try to corner him & construe his statements--if he says green, press says yellow; he says 2+2=4, they say he never went to Wharton
