Trump to attend his first White House correspondents’ dinner as president
President Donald Trump said Monday that he will go to the White House correspondents’ dinner this year, the first time he’ll be in attendance while he was in office.
Although it’s customary for presidents to attend the dinner, Trump skipped the event each year during his first term, in addition to the first one in his second term.
“Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump has previously attended the dinner, but not as president. He attended the dinner during former President Barack Obama’s eight years in office and was the target of Obama’s jokes at the 2011 event.
