The recipient of the FIFA peace prize calling someone else's award fake is the height of hypocrisy.

Not so sure about that FIFA prize being all fake. I'm sure that tRump got a significant "piece" of the $15 BILLION that FIFA took in for the World Cup. Too bad that NJ got virtually nothing to compensate for all of the security and traffic expenses.

I walked out before I sat down. I won’t give that monster one potential minute of my ratings time. I was watching PBS instead. And not streamed through Amazon either.

Julie you nailed it! Thank you for saying the truth out loud. Too bad no one in the room on Friday had the decency to stand up and walk away. That itself spoke volumes.

Hello Julie... Good Post... On Nicole Wallace's MS-Now Show, 'Deadline Whitehouse", Today, the Discussion was how DJT is destroying the 4th Estate... The Mar-a-Lago Mob is abetting DJT...

Julie, thanks for articulating this so exquisitely and painfully.

WHCD brought this on themselves, what else did they expect from the 'snake'?

I honestly don't understand all the hoopla about the WHCD. The fact that he was even invited was a red flag. Why was he invited? Every single time Drumpf gets before a lectern, he humiliates others and himself. No surprise that no one in the room rose to express contempt for what he said, or left the room, or bellowed "Shut Up, you filthy moron!". There was not one iota of courage in that room. And yet he continues to trash talk, on his plane, in the Oval Office, on the tarmac. And no journalist is inclined to bite back. I really like Kaitlan Collins, and she could have walked out too.

What do we expect? Julie, everything you write here is spot on. I just wish we'd stop being angry about the moron, and finally do something.

Hello Jersey... "yet he continues to trash talk, on his plane, in the Oval Office, on the tarmac."... DJT 'Talk' is mostly 'Trash-Talk'....

You nailed a lot that’s very important with this one.

Knowing the history of the White House Correspondent Dinner, starting with a male only event, many cancellations throughout the years for one reason or other, its many critics and felon tRump, himself, refusing to attend many times, the whole crowd of dedicated journalists should have walked out, en masse, to felon tRump's misogynist remarks. Leaving him standing there, in complete humiliation, would have sent their message to him that his bullying and degrading sexist remarks were unacceptable and sent the cry baby home to stomp his feet that he was rejected. Not to have this WHCD is no great loss. There can be better substitutes to honor journalists without presidential attendance.

I agree...they all should have walked out or someone should have objected.Better yet, cut the microphone. ✂️🎙🔌 🎤

Omigod, Julie, you said it all! You really shined a very bright light on an ugly, dark corner of this country. I blame this country for electing this soulless blob of misogynistic bile. He is the worst offender, no doubt, with musk a close second. You named exactly what happened at the WHCD and the cowards who couldn’t stand up. But of course. So many elites have sold their souls for money.

Like the pouty little punk he is, Man Baby Trump yelled insults at the other attendees (especially women) because they can do what he can’t: tell it like it is about life. He is a captive of a porridge brain collapsing over a life philosophy that has no exit door. Man Baby Trump is a reminder that power and money, and strong self regard, do not guarantee anything, they only assure no peace.

Trump goes on unhinged rants against women who stand up to him. In addition to Kaitlan Collins, remember these 36 other women he's insulted with this infographic. Several of them are journalists...
