We are not amused...

So Trump has failed his first "has he got a sense of humour?" test.  He has said he will not attend this year's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.  This is an annual event which has been going for the best part of 100 years, and it is traditional for the President to attend and indeed to be the butt of most of the jokes,  A lot of people wondered how the notoriously thin-skinned Trump would cope with that - especially after 2011 when he did attend (as the then celebrity host of The Apprentice) and was mercilessly lampooned by President Obama and clearly didn't like it. Well, now we know - he's simply avoided the issue.
