President Trump Is Attending A Campaign-Style Rally In Michigan Instead Of The WH Correspondents’ Dinner

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner– which falls on April 28 this year– will be missing a key figure: President Trump.

NEW: Pres. Trump will not attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, WHCA says, but will “actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend.”

Press Sec. Sarah Sanders “will represent the administration at the head table.” https://t.co/w0q39QKnn6 pic.twitter.com/0nO8DiWlc0

It’s not surprising. He didn’t attend the dinner last year either.

He’ll be busy though. Don’t you worry. He already has other plans. He’s holding a campaign-style rally in Michigan.

He did something very similar last year.

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. revealed Tuesday that Mr. Trump will appear at a campaign rally in Washington, Michigan, on the Saturday in question. The event marks his 11th rally in Michigan and his fifth rally in the Detroit area since Mr. Trump entered the race for the presidency almost three years ago.

“While the fake news media will be celebrating themselves with the denizens of Washington society in the swamp that evening, President Trump will be in a completely different Washington, celebrating our national economic revival with patriotic Americans,” said Michael S. Glassner, CEO of the campaign itself.

“The president is really looking forward to highlighting the growing success of his economic policies for Michiganders, including historic deregulation and tax cuts that are delivering a pay raise to working families; resulting in record-low unemployment, remarkable reductions in food stamp enrollment, and a return of the American dream for millions of families,” Mr. Glassner noted.

So there you have it. While journalists endlessly pat themselves on the back, Trump will be in his power zone– recharging with the American people.
