President Donald Trump cancelled the annual White House holiday party for members of the media, Fox News’ Howard Kurtz reported Thursday.


The White House has not announced or confirmed the cancellation, according to Kurtz and a spokesperson did not immediately return TPM’s request for comment.

Trump and the first lady hosted the party last year, but broke with the decade-old tradition of posing for photos with guests.

The White House is set to host a variety of other holiday parties this year and some media members who are “generally favorable to Trump” have been invited to those events, in Kurtz’s words.

The move is hardly surprising given Trump’s contentious relationship with the press that has only heightened in recent weeks after the White House stripped CNN correspondent Jim Acosta of his press credentials and CNN sued the White House over the ban.

Maybe everyone should send him size sheets for orange jump suits in Christmas Cards, and wishing them well..................

1. Another sign of how WEIRD this White House is--

Trump fairly constantly cancels things-- including really important things like visits to other countries and meetings with heads of state.

It's just so ... well, ironic isn't the word. Perverse? Perfidious? That he was getting his buddy Pecker to do all those articles about how frail and sick Clinton was (after banking like a million miles-- literally-- as SOS), and she's just fine, and he can't even get to the office before noon, and can't be counted on for the most minimal level of "showing up".

2. I mean-- I think these cancellations might have more to do with him 'not feeling up to it'-

He's sick and depressed, probably.

3. ..."and call off Christmas!"

4. To be honest, I don't know if there'd be enough alcohol to make....

.....being in the same room as Trump for several hours bearable.

Blessing in disguise. They saved themselves a headache the next morning.
