President Donald Trump told reporters on April 5 that he would skip the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner scheduled for later this month.

Trump’s comments confirm that he won’t attend the event for the third year in a row. As he was leaving the White House on his trip to the southern border in California, he told reporters that the event wasn’t to his liking.
