breaking with Trump's pissy assed snubs of the event

President Joe Biden is set to prove that he can take a joke by attending this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, breaking with Donald Trump's repeated snubs of an event that often turns into a light roasting of the current White House.

The correspondents association on Wednesday announced Biden and first lady Jill Biden's expected attendance. Comedian and Comedy Central host Trevor Noah is set to headline the glitzy affair on April 30.

Biden's attendance also comes after a surge of COVID-19 cases connected to the Gridiron Dinner, a more exclusive Washington social event that the president did not attend. Two Cabinet officials, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who were both in attendance, later tested positive.

Before Trump, every president since Calvin Coolidge attended at least one of the correspondents' association dinners. Trump made it a point to not attend, going so far as to host counter-programming by rallying with his supporters. In 2019, the Trump administration banned any of its officials from attending that year's dinner. No dinner was held in 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic.

4. free joke for Trevor: "Jen Psaki will be leaving the administration, most are sorry to see her go"

“Except Peter Doocy, who is relieved he won’t have to wear a cup to work anymore”.
