Gutfeld bashes White House Correspondents' Dinner: 'Trump Kicked the Media's Rump

On Saturday night’s episode of the “Greg Gutfeld Show” on the Fox News Channel, Gutfeld slammed the liberal media’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner and praised President Donald Trump for choosing to bypass the event, which is usually attended by presidents on both sides of the aisle.

"He's like the cool outcast at school who tells the snotty, rich kids, 'I don't want to go to your stupid party, I'll throw my own, thank you very much! And I'm going to invite all my friends!'" Gutfeld said.

Gutfeld called Trump’s decision to hold a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a key swing state for Trump, a “stroke of brilliance” and referred to the Correspondents’ Dinner as an “orgy of preening self-importance.”

Trump’s rally in Harrisburg attracted thousands of supporters, and the president used the opportunity to jab the media.

"As you may know, there's another big gathering taking place tonight in Washington, D.C., did you hear about it?" Trump said. "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now."

"They are gathered together for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner without the president," Trump said. "And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington's swamp, spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people, right?"

Trump also took the opportunity to list the accomplishments his administration has achieved in its first 100 days.

“For the last 100 days my administration has been delivering every single day for the great citizens of our country, whether it’s putting our coal miners back to work, protecting America’s steel and aluminum workers or eliminating job killing regulations, we are keeping one promise after another and frankly the people are really happy about it,” Trump said.
