The media says Trump is hiding but that simply not the case.
President Donald J. Trump has officially confirmed he will not attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, continuing his principled stand against what many Americans see as the liberal media’s annual self-congratulatory circus.
A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that President Trump’s schedule has “no interest in entertaining a press corps that’s long abandoned journalistic integrity.”
This marks yet another year President Trump has declined to participate—a decision that resonates deeply with patriotic Americans who are fed up with media bias, fake news, and Hollywood-style pageantry masquerading as journalism.
🔥 Why President Trump Is Skipping the Dinner—Again
Since taking office (again) in January 2025, President Trump has made it clear that the White House is not in the business of appeasing partisan media outlets.
In February, the Trump administration ended the long-standing practice of letting the White House Correspondents’ Association manage the rotating press pool. The move was praised by many in conservative circles who argue that the media no longer reports news—but manufactures narratives.
Even more telling? Mainstream outlets like The Associated Press were recently barred from select press events due to their persistent hostility toward the administration.
🎭 Comedian Canceled After Mocking Trump
The April 26 event was already mired in controversy after the Correspondents’ Association quietly dropped liberal comedian Amber Ruffin as the evening’s entertainment. The decision came after she publicly mocked President Trump—remarks that drew sharp criticism from the administration and millions of supporters nationwide.
🎉 A Celebration of a Different Kind?
Coincidentally, April 26 also happens to be First Lady Melania Trump’s birthday, prompting speculation that the Trumps may host a private event of their own instead—a moment to celebrate a First Lady who brings grace, poise, and strength to the role.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has also declined to attend, stating on Sean Spicer’s podcast that she has “zero interest in being part of a media spectacle built on double standards and elitism.”
✅ What This Means for the Conservative Movement
This isn’t just a snub—it’s a powerful message. President Trump’s refusal to participate sends a clear signal: the America First agenda will not be dictated by the press.
