good for him. nothing but leftists hurling hateful ridicule at the Republican of the Day.

he'll be called thin skinned / humorless etc, but this says more about the media people than it says about POTUS. these things have been nothing but hatefests for years.

Ok.

Always said respect is something you earn!!

Right on. There's no upside for him. President Trump has the MSM back on their heels right now, they're just too dumb to know it.

How so? He's beaten the weak pathetic Left and their lapdog -- the MSM, like a drum.

and the media in this country has collectively lost any and all respect it had.

like POTUS, I consider the media (in general) to be contemptible.

Good......

I think that whole thing is just a huge gloat fest , with all the media ites and others fawning all over each other , and being as fake as they possibly can......

Ugh disgusting show of insincere bs........

Good on you Trump.......

Good for him. It is stupid to sit there and let the likes of Hollywood and left-wing journalists hurl vicious insults one right after the other at you. Stupid.

If it were light hearted barbs, it wouldn't be a big deal, but these people have become maniacal to the extreme. They are vicious and border-line mental cases, not to mention liars.

Sometimes you just have to give them the finger and bow out.

Good for President Trump. Let their hideous vile games begin.

The were thinking of cancelling it due to his kicking journalists out of his gaggle and the insulting fake-news accusations.

So he preemptively decided not to go. That's my best guess anyway.

The President has the Left in full retreat right now. If they had any forward momentum at all they wouldn't have chickened out on their DNC choice and voted in Keith Ellison.

My level of respect and admiration for this man just went up exponentially.

He lacks a backbone. He is bowing out because he can't take a joke or criticism. He only likes Praise and Loyalty like the Little Rich Spoiled Boy he is.

The Left in this country took a massive humiliating beat in November because Trump is tougher than these perennial little snowflakes.

He definitely plays for keeps.

I wouldn't want to cross him at this point.

Have you attended 3 rallies a day for months on end knowing that at any time some nutcase might try and kill you,love him or hate him you cant call him a coward.

It takes courage to buck the system and change tradition. That dinner is about as relevant as the Academy Awards are now to ordinary people. I'm beginning to like this guy.

The self proclaimed elite need a poke in the eye now and then and him not attending will make them crazy. I love it.

The response by the elite media will be something to behold and laugh at I'm sure.
