1. Trump can't take the roasting. His idea of humor are his nasty juvenile names he calls people.

There is no way he could pull of delivering a comedy bit, even if a true master really wrote him some great material. He wouldn't have the timing.

Trump is someone to laugh at, not laugh with.

8. Now That No One Can Make Fun of Him

So, now that no one can make fun of him, he may go to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Donald Trump is one of the most thin skinned people in the world.

In my opinion they are bringing an author to perform at this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner because the people who put on the event know that the Trump Administration is just as thin skinned as Donald Trump. The people putting on the dinner probably realized that the only person they could get to perform at the event other than an author was a comedian that was a 100% supporter of Trump. Even then, if the person made the slightest joke about Trump or people in his administration Trump and his media supporters would lose their minds. Then there was the chance that the pro-Trump comedian would not be funny and would only attack Democrats like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, with none of those jokes being funny.

tune in to the Correspondents' Dinner for the roasting. I agree with Michelle....they're cowards. Trump made them flinch, and they'll never recover from their surrender.
