: "Donald Trump will launch a 'revenge' attack on the White House media when he confronts them in person at a Washington dinner on Saturday night...

 Althouse   . . . then flee before there can be revenge..."

"Leaving because [the] press have nothing worthwhile to say isn't "fleeing", it's treating them with the contempt they deserve." Greg The Class Traitor

"Trump will leave the White House Correspondents’ Association event after making his speech, so he will miss the presentation of press awards—one of which would be certain to embarrass him. He has told aides he has no intention of still being in the International Ballroom at the Washington Hilton when the Wall Street Journal is honored with the Katherine Graham award for its scoop about a bawdy letter Trump allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday card.... Mentalist Oz Pearlman is performing this year, replacing the usual comedian and avoiding a potential Trump roast."

"From "Trump’s Plans for ‘Mic-Drop’ Media Confrontation Are Leaked/The president is planning a rage-fueled moment at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner" (Daily Beast).

"Donald Trump will launch a 'revenge' attack" — why is "revenge" in quotes? The article doesn't have Trump or anybody else using that word.

"They've replaced the comedian with a mentalist? What's the thinking there? Could a mentalist tell me? I don't blame Trump for walking out before the mentalist, but it seems like they picked a mentalist so Trump wouldn't leave, so he wouldn't need to withstand the horrors of comedy. In any case, he's sure to bring the comedy to his own speech." . . .
