WASHINGTON
(AP) -- President Donald Trump, who has been criticizing the news
media and is famously thin-skinned, says he
won't be attending the White
House Correspondents' Association dinner - sparing himself the dubious
honor of being an in-the-house target of jokes.
The
annual fundraiser for college scholarships and venue for reporting
awards mixes politicians, journalists and celebrities and is typically
attended by the president and first lady. Remarks by a comedian, often
roasting the president, and a humorous address by the president himself,
often roasting the press and political opponents, have highlighted the
event, which C-SPAN has carried live.
Can a man who can't laugh at himself be called a man? To me, this single evasion tells more about Donald Trump than many of the other public criticisms combined.
Thinnest skin in town.
ReplyDeleteNot being able to laugh at himself is simply symptomic of Trump's particular personality disorder. As is his desire to gaslight everyone in the world.

I am not a Bhagavan (that includes all the formless devas in heavenly planes of existences). I am not a King vis a vis a Universal Monarch. I am not a Creator of the Universe!
