Donald Trump returned to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time since 2011, delivering a 65-minute speech at a rescheduled, smaller event in Washington, DC. The article describes the speech as poorly received, arguing that his hostile, roast-style approach departed from the dinner’s usual mixture of self-deprecation and light political humour.

The dinner had originally been postponed after an attempted security breach and was later held at the Waldorf Astoria. According to the article, Trump targeted members of the press and political opponents, while repeatedly digressing onto subjects including the White House ballroom, Iran and UFC plans; around 20 minutes in, he reportedly began rushing through jokes and later called the event “stupid”.
