'Why don’t you sit this one out': Trump skewered over White House correspondents’ dinner criticism

28 April 2024

Former President Donald Trump had much to say about Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner that he did not attend.

President Joe Biden took aim at his predecessor, during his speech said, “I’m a grown man running against a six-year-old. Well, I feel great, I really feel great, I’m campaigning all over the country: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, I’ve always done well in the original 13 colonies,” Biden said, according to HuffPost.

The Guardian reports, "The president also skewered Trump over a recent speech in which he described the civil war battle at Gettysburg as 'interesting', 'vicious', 'horrible' and 'beautiful'. Biden said: 'Speaking of history, did you hear what Donald just said about a major civil war battle? ‘Gettysburg – wow!’ Trump’s speech was so embarrassing, the statue of Robert E Lee surrendered again.'"

Furthermore, acknowledging those who criticize his age, the president added, "Age is the only thing we have in common," referring to Trump. "My vice-president actually endorses me."

Trump wrote, "The White House Correspondents' Dinner was really bad. Colin Jost BOMBED, and crooked Joe was an absolute disaster! Doesn't get much worse than this!"

Former Republican National Chair Michael Steele said, "Since you could never find a pair to attend the White House Correspondence Dinner, why don’t you just sit this one out. Again."

Conservative lawyer George Conway wrote, "Has there ever been a whinier human being in American public life than Donald Trump?"

Texas defense attorney Sara Spector added, "George W was excoriated at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He still attended. And he never whined about it."
