President Trump attended the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) annual dinner on April 25, marking his first appearance at the event as president. Previously, Trump had boycotted the dinner throughout his first term and the initial year of his second term. His attendance this year was met with backlash from over 250 journalists, who criticized his history of attacks on the press. The event was disrupted by a shooting incident on April 26, leading to the urgent evacuation of Trump and his cabinet members. The dinner, a century-old tradition, will be rescheduled within 30 days.
