## Resource

Trump made a surprise return to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, his first in years, delivering a fiery speech laced with jabs at the media and political foes — even joking about a “Trump 2028” hat and his potential fourth term. He opened with levity but quickly pivoted to criticism, mocking stories linking him to Epstein and mocking journalists’ coverage. Despite the hostility, he ended with a nod to reporters — while still poking fun at their future financial prospects. The event, relocated to a former Trump hotel for extra security, featured a mentalist and a tribute to a Secret Service agent. The Secret Service director defended the security protocols that thwarted the earlier attack, calling the current threat landscape “unprecedented.” The White House Correspondents’ Association vowed to return to its traditional venue next year — a defiant statement of resilience against intimidation.
