Trump returns to Correspondents’ Dinner, first time since 2011 roast
Trump will be attending this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time as president and speaking before thousands of journalists and politicos — leaving attendees to wonder what he’ll say and how the room will react.
A wide range of critics say the soirée risks normalizing Trump’s anti-democratic assaults on the press. Trump’s presence at the event is “a profound contradiction of its purpose,” a petition signed by 250-plus veteran journalists and several media advocacy groups said earlier this week.
