Trump says he will attend this year's White House Correspondents Dinner

There will not be a political comic but a "mentalist" hosting, Oz Pearlman.

Last year, White House Correspondent's Dinner cancelled Amber Ruffin.

Trump falsely claimed in his acceptance, he is the greatest.
But he cannot cite one reputable presidential historian believes that.
Or the most recent polls which shows Trump near or at the bottom of the list.

Why does Trump lie?
Does he lie just to lie?
Is it a defense mechanism to protect his narcissistic image?

1. This is going to be the ugliest

most hateful correspondents dinner ever.

2. Maybe Kimmel and Colbert can team up on the after dinner monologue.

And you thought Trump was mad when Obama took a run at him during the dinner.

3. kid rock's insights on journalism should be interesting

4. Maybe he can get Vanilla Ice to sing "Ice Ice Baby" over and over. He and his peeps seem to really like that song.
