Trump never attended the dinner in his first term. If he comes this year, you can be certain it will be to lord over you.

Cancel in protest. Support the news agencies that Trump is punishing for not submitting to his will.

The fact that they can't decide is a hoot and an INDICTMENT.

May Helen Thomas' ghost haunt them all.

Stop amplifying his shitshow

Do Tux rentals come in "trash bag" size?

For the love of Ben Bradlee, cancel the silly dinner! It doesn't serve journalism, support for the free press or your readers/viewers to have Trump "make clear that he owns you." Why are you volunteering to be his victims? Playing nice with Trump to avoid his anger never works. Ask Mike Pence!

And instead do more digging into the firehose of stories?

INSTEAD… there should be a Red tie boycott event to protest the administration. Grow some balls, WHCA!

Have the dinner but don’t invite POTUS or PressSec

You need to have the dinner and secretly have the SNL Trumps (maybe even Alec Baldwin) and the guy who played pence and Putin show up to reprize their rolls and do a new Trump / Putin love scene -

Time to hit the pause button.

Past time!

Time for the National Press to take a stand against this admin.
Stand together and refuse to cover the The White House unless it’s totally news worthy.
trump not last with only the 2nd bananas in the room asking nonsensical questions. STOP LETTING HIM MANIPULATE YOU ALL.

They should cancel

byrrhena.bsky.social•57 days ago

I say, do not give them what they want. They want the press to go away, I say, do not go away. They do not want the press to be seen. I say show up and be seen. They do not want the press to be heard. I say, SAY IT LOUD. I say, SHOW UP LOUD.
This is a war of words and no time to retreat. PRESS ON!

Cancel it
