President Donald Trump confirmed Friday he will skip the "boring" White House correspondents' dinner later this month, saying he'll hold a rally instead.
Trump, who launches almost daily verbal attacks on what he considers a hostile media, has missed the two previous sessions of the annual get-together in Washington.
Asked if he'd go to this year's gathering, on April 27, he told reporters at the White House that "the dinner is so boring and so negative that we're going to hold a very positive rally."
Trump said his rally, in a still undecided location, will be "a big one."
