Donald Trump has attended the White House Correspondents' Association dinner (WHCD) numerous times during previous administrations, however now that he is President he has skipped the event twice. He tweeted on Monday that the dinner was "embarrassing" and the event is "dead" -- indicating he won't be attending next year either. The WHCD is meant to "acknowledge award-winners, present scholarships, and give the press and the president an evening of friendly appreciation" and since 1983 it has a featured speaker has usually been a comedian, with the dinner taking on the form of a 'roast' of the president and his administration. Should the comedic portion of the WHCD come to an end?

There is a Reddit forum dedicated to roasting people who voluntarily want to be roasted. A roast is a form of American humor in which a specific individual, a guest of honor, is subjected to jokes at their expense, intended to amuse the event's wider audience. Such events are intended to honor a specific individual in a unique way. The implication is that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult, and it is seen by some as a great honor to be roasted. Would you ever agree to be roasted? Yes
