#1 How about Trump having an alt-right media dinner instead? Or if he does decide to have a usual WH Correspondent's Dinner to start referring to it as the "Fake News Correspondent's Dinner".

#5 Well, if the media is looking for sympathy, they'll find in the dictionary between s#!+ and syphilis.
Color me deplorable.

#7 It would be a hoot if ALL the reporters boycotted AND DJT remembered he had to rotate the air in AF1's tires.....big ass empty room with waiters and food.

#10 Trump should have the dinner. He should make sure there is no wi-fi or cell coverage available.

He should give an opening speech at the beginning but have it interrupted by secret service that quickly bundle him off stage and out without a word to why.

Then when the journalists leave trying to figure out what's happening, Trump can return gloriously and laugh at them.
