WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not attend the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner later this month, confirming his plan to skip the event traditionally attended by sitting presidents for the third year in a row.
Trump told reporters that the event was “negative” and “boring” as he was leaving the White House on his way to visit the southern border in California Friday morning.
“We’re going to hold a very positive rally,” Trump said, instead of attending the annual event on April 27. “It’ll be big,” he promised.
