President Donald Trump renewed his fierce battle with the nation’s political press corps on Saturday night while America’s journalistic upper-crust were feting themselves at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington.

Trump was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, speaking to nearly 10,000 people, a crowd that he claimed ‘broke the all-time record’ for the arena.

‘There’s another big gathering taking place tonight in Washington, D.C.,’ he said, drawing a chorus of boos.

‘A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation’s capital right now,’ he said, insisting that ‘I could not possibly be more thrilled to be more than 100 miles away from Washington’s swamp.’

Trump also said he had attracted ‘a much, much larger crowd – and much better people.’
