President Trump is having his best week ever as president.
First, special counsel Robert Mullerβs investigation into whether there was collusion with Russia to gift wrap the 2016 presidential electionβthe investigation that has hovered over Trumpβs presidency like a black cloudβhas in Trumpβs words βexonerated him.β
Suggested Reading
Trumpβs cries that the investigation was a βwitch huntβ and the work of β12 angry Democratsβ now make him look like a soothsayer to his followers who have trouble saying βsoothsayerβ three times fast.
Then, the presidentβs adversary, Michael Avenattiβthe former lawyer for the spanker of the presidentβs untanned ass with a rolled Forbes magazine, porn actress Stormy Danielsβhas been accused of trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike.
And as if Trumpβs days couldnβt get any better, the House fell short of the two-thirds votes needed to override his veto of legislation blocking his national emergency declaration at the border.
Trumpβs feeling so good that he reportedly kicked a baby goat in the face and is mulling over the idea of attending the White House Correspondentsβ Association Dinner for the first time in his presidency.
According to Axios, Trump, who ghosted the 2017 and 2018 events, has been feeling himself lately and is considering stopping by the April 27 dinner just to gloat that heβs out here killing these bamas now that Attorney General William Barrβs summary of special counsel Robert Muellerβs report found that there was no collusion with Russia.
Trump is considering showing up with an ankle-length mink coat. He will then grab the mic and say, βTo paraphrase the great African-American philosopher Kanye, βCanβt a young president get money anymore? Tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor.ββ
And then he walks out.
Axios doesnβt know βhow seriousβ Trump is about really showing up, but heβs having the best time, and if he was going to a correspondentsβ dinner, now would be the time since he bitched and moaned after comedian Michelle Wolfβs 2018 speech in which she shut shit down.
For the first time in ever, The White House Correspondentsβ Association (WHCA) will have historian Ron Chernow host the event instead of an entertainer, a move that was announced in November to the delight of the president.
Wolf has called the WHCA βcowardsβ for not selecting a comedian, adding that βthe media is complicit.β
The Hill notes that Trump is the first sitting president who wasnβt recuperating from an assassination attempt (see, Ronald Reagan in 1981) not to attend the event.
