Summary
The president returned to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, rescheduled after a deadly April incident, delivering a sharp, self-deprecating roast of journalists, politicians, and even his own speechwriters — sparking mixed reactions from the crowd. While he honored Secret Service agents and hotel staff for their bravery during the attack, his jabs touched on sensitive topics and reignited debates about media relations. Ending with a nod to his legacy and a cheeky nod to a potential 2028 run, he left audiences divided — some laughing, others uneasy — as the tension between him and the press continues to simmer.
