Trump's Disingenuous Dance with the Press The White House Correspondents' Dinner has evolved under President Trump's tenure into an exercise in tension and opportunism.
The latest iteration was no exception, as Trump took to the stage to tout his accomplishments and his relationship with the press. Trump's address to the dinner attendees was a masterclass in self serving rhetoric.
He claimed to have "learned a lot" from past controversies surrounding the event, including the 2017 shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice outside Washington.
