WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will headline the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton on April 25 for the first time as president.
The black-tie gala brings together thousands of media personalities, business leaders, celebrities, lawmakers, and Cabinet officials to celebrate journalism and those that cover the executive branch while raising money for scholarships.
“The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge,” Trump wrote in a March 2 Truth Social post.
“In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these ‘Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!”…
