I wonder if he'll chicken out at the last minute and not even go? I suspect that the only reason he agreed to go was that he assumed his Iran "excursion " would go according to his fantasy and that he would be taking an insufferably self aggrandizing victory lap. Even he must realize on some level at this point that it has been an unqualified fiasco. And now he's learned that talk of his connection to Epstein will be featured prominently....

Who would be there to embarrass him? It will be a kiss-a..s session as usual. And it will be the WH correspondents who have to listen to HIM try to embarrass and humilate THEm. No thanks.

He was upset enough about the article that is being lauded to file a $10 billion lawsuit against the WSJ for "defamation," although the judge recently threw it out.The photo that will receive a separate prize was also pretty damning.
