Summary
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back — but with a major twist: moved to the Waldorf Astoria after a deadly security scare in April. A 31-year-old man tried to storm the event armed, targeting President Trump and top officials — the first time Trump planned to attend. Security is now tighter than ever, though details remain secret. The venue’s capacity is slashed from 2,600 to just 1,300 guests, reflecting the new caution — and it’s ironic that the Waldorf Astoria, once owned by Trump’s company, is now hosting. Despite the risks, the dinner goes on — a vital gathering for journalists and power players, now under a heavier security blanket.
