Trump damages another WH tradition... might not hold the WH press corp holiday party

[Demovictory9]

The holiday season may be about to get a bit less cheerful for the White House press corps.

The annual Christmas press party, a tradition at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for decades, apparently has melted away like a snowflake in May. The White House hasn’t said the event is off — but it hasn’t scheduled it, either.

White House reporters say they’re in the dark about its fate. The party is usually held in early- to mid-December.

While the reasons for the nonevent are unclear — the White House didn’t return requests for comment — it may have something to do with the fiasco that was last year’s party, the first under President Trump.

In 2017, Trump’s continued attacks on the press, and especially against CNN, prompted the network to announce that it wouldn’t be attending last year’s edition. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders responded to the snub with a snub of her own: “Christmas comes early!” she tweet-taunted in response. “Finally, good news from @CNN.”

1. Who would even want to go?

Like I'd be so excited to attend a party hosted by someone who hates my guts and calls me an enemy of the people.

3. Exactly. I wouldn't want to attend if I were a member of the Press. As they've said in the past,

his calling them the enemy of the people, puts their lives in jeopardy with the sickos in their base. They should throw their own party and call it a day.

2. Yelling fake news

then giving them a holiday party in the White House It may be difficult to explain to his alternative real voters, but only maybe.

I doubt the press cares at all. Wish they cared when he was just running. Might be a different America , but no we have to go through all this now.
