Donald Trump is attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time since becoming president, and his very presence at the event is causing some would-be attendees to skip out. In particular, the cohosts of The View revealed on Friday’s (April 24) episode that they are skipping the event this year due to Trump’s attendance.
The cohosts reacted to certain journalists’ statements about boycotting the WHCD due to Trump as their first “Hot Topic” of the day.
