Trump to skip correspondents dinner

WASHINGTON – The White House says that when President Donald Trump skips the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, expect him to spend that Saturday night in April “focused on what he can to do to help better America.” The dinner attracts politicians, journalists and celebrities and is typically attended by the president, who’s often roasted. Trump isn’t saying why he won’t be there.

He has railed against “the fake news media,” saying it is “the enemy of the American people.”
