Trump returns to Correspondents’ Dinner, first time since 2011 roast

Trump can be attending this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the primary time as president and talking earlier than hundreds of journalists and politicos — leaving attendees to marvel what he’ll say and the way the room will react.

A variety of critics say the soirée dangers normalizing Trump’s anti-democratic assaults on the press. Trump’s presence on the occasion is “a profound contradiction of its purpose,” a petition signed by 250-plus veteran journalists and a number of other media advocacy teams mentioned earlier this week.
