Trump will attend White House Correspondents’ Dinner in stunning twist
NY Post ^ | 3/02/26 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 03/02/2026 5:28:58 PM PST by Libloather

President Trump stunned Washington insiders Monday by announcing that he will attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25 — after snubbing journalists and skipping all prior dinners during his presidency.

“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 on Truth Social.

“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!”

Trump added: “Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special.”

I believe Trump is now trying to change the Dems' behavior.

Remember, before the State of the Union, Jeffries told the Dems to be nice. Most were...

Their faces said they didn't know what the hell they should do....when they failed to stand up when Trump challenged them. Shame on them. Sheep...

Trump will regret it. He’s an 80 year old man - in his mind the MSM still matters a lot, and he never stops hoping for acceptance and adulation by them. But the MSM will taken over by the Left decades ago.

Is Trump totally delulu or is he just being ironic?

He has a sense of humor. So many Americans have forgotten what that is.

Trump is putting words in their mouths that they will have weeks to deny. Meanwhile, poling data will be interesting. Who would want to rain on the current Persian parade?

“He knows how to make them crazy!”

He’s the “troll in chief”!

That dinner should be a lot of fun to watch.

BS that PDJT is hoping for acceptance and adulation from MSM. I have no idea what his plan is, other than to repeat his SOTU shellacking of the Demonicrats. That is my supposition. President Trump has incredible brain power working for him, including his own. Just have faith and trust in PDJT

He’s going to have the best joke writers and a well-crafted routine with prepared lines for each and every one of them, it’s going to be a bloodbath He called out Pelosi for insider trading at the SOTU. Think what he will cut loose with on a stage this big. It will be replayed on YouTube 100 million times. They are once again putty in his hands.
