Trump To Attend Politician-journalist Dinner

Washington, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Feb, 2018 ) :President Donald Trump will attend this year's Gridiron Club Dinner, an annual gathering of politicians and journalists that will mark the first such appearance by the American leader known for his frequent outbursts against the media.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders, who confirmed Trump's plans, however said "no decision has been made regarding the WHCA (White House Correspondents Association) dinner," another high-profile meeting usually attended by the American president but that Trump skipped last year.

Instead of attending that dinner last year, which occurred on the same day that thousands of protesters surrounded the White House during a climate march, Trump instead rallied supporters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Claiming unfair coverage in the media, Trump said he was delighted to travel away from the "Washington swamp." "If the media's job is to be honest and to tell the truth, the media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade."
