Michael Harriot, columnist for The Root, breaks down President Trump's decision to attend the annual Gridiron Dinner. Trump cracked jokes at the expense of the media, his own cabinet, and even the First Lady. While Trump turned down invitations to these events during his first year in office, Harriot says the president is now attending since he's going to be made fun of anyway. Harriot also touches on the chaos inside the White House, saying the people who work there have no other choice but to embrace it since Trump changes his mind on a daily basis.
