Trump speaks at White House Correspondents Dinner event

President Donald Trump delivered an hour-long speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Friday, July 25, 2026, after the original April event was cut short by a shooting. Trump's remarks included jokes, personal insults directed at journalists and Democratic politicians, and commentary on press freedom. The event was held at the Waldorf Astoria rather than the original Washington Hilton venue.
