Trump says White House Correspondents' Dinner will resume Saturday

ART29

Well to be fair those to whom the dinner belongs to, placate him and will simply hand him the reigns

Ke¡k¡22

Just about his entire administration was at the dinner. Why?

all-a-mort.bsky.social21

He thinks it's a dinner in his honor. Or that's what he wants to make it to further corrupt the media.

Speak Your Truth19

It is MSM who has allowed trump to suck all the oxygen out of the room. So, it’s the trump’s dinner. Maybe try treating him like the criminal he is.

Dave Colvin18

What I don’t understand is why were 3 people in line of succession at the same event? Vance, Johnson and Rubio and Trump? Something doesn’t make sense!

louisamiller.bsky.social16

Its a charming thought that the White House Correspondents would defy his wishes, but that would imply a level of independence they certainly haven't demonstrated

Russ DiBello11

Did you really think the fawning and compliant Weijia Jiang was gonna question this? And again, before all the fun began last night, could she have been more obsequious when she thanked Karoline Leavitt profusely for "working with" them (she also name-checked Bari Weiss. She knows her career track)

pjhouston.bsky.social10

No but the CBS crew “headlining” will make sure his desires are met. He has to return for that fake “nothing scares me” act. So disappointed in those that did attend last night. Even some from MSNOW. wtf

John Robinson9

I wish White House Correspondents' Association president Weijia Jiang would say that.

Betsy Cazden9

He obviously imagines it otherwise, that just like Mar-a-Lago, he's the host and party-planner, and they're his guests, rather than the other way around.

bjttene.bsky.social8

How do they sit in the room with a Pedophile like it’s just another day? Disappointed in the ones I thought would surely not attend but did.

Phil Yabut8

Or put it in his still-mythical ballroom

neverorangemanbaby.bsky.social7

You're right Katie, and i think we'll find out he planned this fiasco!! What did he talk about last night? THE BALLROOM!!!

lifeofpi.bsky.social5

You don’t need to change the dinner…change the president. Remember this happened during Nixon admin & we restored peace & sanity after he was paid millions to go away

luckiiyu7.bsky.social5

You haven’t been paying attention Katie. This ghoul says jump and they say how high?

Justice for Justin (STILL!)5

Considering everyone in that room is basically bought and paid for- May as well be?

justiceisnot4all.bsky.social4

Thank you Katie! But this is HIS world we are living in right now- no boundaries, no accountability, NOTHING!

ZAC4

Might as well be. I don’t think there is a single spine among any of the so called journalists in attendance.

seekingjustice.bsky.social4

It’s his everything The world turns around him because your former colleagues adore him the way they worship the almighty dollar. Without him they are nothing Without them he’d be nothing

whattheactualf.bsky.social3

It’s a jack off session for journalists nobody gaf! It’s as bad as the Academy Awards

Fenlason of Clan Farquharson3

Trump is like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. Mindlessly squawking “mine, mine” at anything he desires and would aggrandize him.

GooseTheGander3

Don't they have a correspondence dinner like every year or something? It's very easy for literally anyone to plan around.

𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚐𝚗𝚎 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚝3

In his demented view, he sees his status as a "king," who can do no wrong, and who always "wins" in a self-constructed universe where everything resolves around himself. Chronic mental illness.

christopezemole.bsky.social3

But he just commandeered it as he does everything and no one is going to stop him. It’s going to be called the Trump Correspondents Dinner from here on out.

immigrantwoman.bsky.social3

Again not talking about other news but the WHCD. They are redirecting focus again. Affordability, Epstein files, Iran war, blowing up boats in the Caribbean, no healthcare. Think about that.

bobbiemck ❌👑3

Apparently the head traitor thinks everything belongs to him. After all, Congress and the Supreme Court gifted him the entire country. Now, he just wants to micro-manage every darn thing...

FMariani@bsky.com3

Thank you, Katie Phang! He's just always so filled with his own demented bullshit.

JBlanchard3

Like anybody in MSM would say no?

Synchronizing2

Why does he want to reschedule ... so he can stage another shooting? ... get better camera angles? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkgh...

Paul Curran2

Maybe this will give the journalists who were in attendance a chance to reconsider whether they should be there at all, yucking it up with Trump and his vile minions.

Bill Virginia Beach2

But the WHCA will never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity

Shola Hoon2

Oh but you need a plan for the next staging

Raffy2

Also…. Since this was not HIS dinner, even if he HAD his golden ballroom, it still would have been held at a hotel.

Bkbethesda2

In a month when they reschedule these so-called journalists will not carry those pocket squares but will have fuhrer salutes and non-stop clapping. That's what this narcissist wants and he will get it.

heather84.bsky.social2

The thing is, it IS his dinner. The media gave it to him and good luck getting it back.

Let’s Be Frank2

Why doesn’t the media tell trump to eff off; he was given a chance as an honoree but blew it with his childish ruse. Or reschedule the WHCD but don’t invite him, as should have happened last night. The media was to honor an anti-democracy fascist who shits in the First Amendment every day. Unreal.

EmmyEm 🇺🇸+🇬🇧💙2

Thank you Katie! This has been irking me. His absolute need to own everything and everyone is tiresome.

BasedFace2

All media loves DJT professionally. I hate to say it, but it's clearly true. The boost that he gives social posts, news articles, podcasts, and so on, is a reporters wet dream. Articles and posts either appalling or boosting his cruelty get clicks and ad revenue. The media lives and dies on ratings.

Lynn Bird2

Trump will make it be held at Mar a Lago and charge a fortune. Wolf Blitzer will still attend.

Beth Arnold Writer8

When Bill Clinton was pres, Chris Matthews held a Town Hall show in Little Rock about how awful the politics in Arkansas were. I got in his face/talked about the reality of Washington politics. I told him the Washington press should be required to spend 6 months a year in the middle of the country.

Where's Nestor? ❌6

Addresses in This Town by Mark Leibovich too. That what first opened my eyes to that culture.

Mr. PotHead5

Joan Didion wrote about this, as well.

Eggman4

remarkable how much "the daily howler" guy got right about that era back in real time. maybe that's why everyone ignored him.

Brandon Mudd4

Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 chronicles this perfectly.

wmheaphy.bsky.social4

I remember Breaking the News! Read it at the same time as William Grieder's Who Will Tell the People

Blake Mitchell3

I think a lot about the scene(s) in Almost Famous where the Lester Bangs character warns the Cameron Crowe character about the dangers of getting too close to the people they write about, and not falling into the trap of thinking you’re “one of them.” Solid advice for any journalist.

Ecotype3

God, I miss HST something fierce. 😭

Ben Blythe30

At least one alt history of this event is Linda McMahon becoming President of the United States and I cannot overstate how insane that would be.

Mockingbird, MPH, CHES15

Also Mike Johnson, so I’m assuming chuck grassley stayed home so he’d be president if the hotel blew up?

Zab6

Did you see the video from Getty images? They got Vance out first. What’s that about? Trump sat like a sitting duck—remember, in the precious seconds before they knew if there was 1 shooter of 10. www.gettyimages.com/detail/video...

Adam Gorightly5

That weirdo, Mike Johnson was also there… Isn’t he third in the line of succession?

G ToeKnocks4

So they totally "knew" the outcome. Staged event. Free pass-- out of Hormuz, Epstein and cratering poll numbers. Orban's ppl tried this before the election. Butler. They don't even bother to change the plot.

Tombendel3

Just for the record, the order of succession: VP Speaker of the House President Pro Temp of the Senate Secretaries of State - Treasury - Defense Attorney General Secretaries of the Interior - Agriculture - Commerce - Labor - HHS - HUD -Transportation - Energy - Education - Vet Affairs - Homeland

David Manning3

Plus Speaker of the house... who's #2 behind Vance. So thats a damn good question.

GrrrlRomeo2

I thought they weren't even supposed to be together like that

Ryan McTague2

Will Smith and the Secretary of Agriculture to the rescue

Lisa2

Is it normal for so many high ranking to go to this dinner?

Cake or Death25

fucking thoughts and prayers i'm so sorry a crazy person showed up at the nazi party, miss riefenstahl and lord haw haw

ArtsulSelva6

Or in the Dilley TX immigration detention center, for that matter.

greenstraw2026.bsky.social4

Trump's Regime has the last laugh. This was staged to get the media to talk about it for the coming week. Once again, the Secret Service was mysteriously asleep at the wheel just like in the Butler, PA stunt. And why were his entire Cabinet people there?

Elessaelis3

This is just what it's like to be an American. They're invited to suck it up.

Michael Clyne3

The ass kissers deserve no sympathy.

PlaneJane2

One has to be a certain age to appreciate this. All caps would have sealed it.
