The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back — rescheduled after a deadly shooting in April — with President Trump set to deliver his first speech at the event, blending unifying and vicious tones amid heightened security. The dinner honors a Secret Service officer and hotel staff who helped during the chaos, while the accused shooter, Cole Allen, remains defiant. Trump’s history of press clashes — including lawsuits, access restrictions, and calling media “fake news” — adds tension to his debut. Notably, key figures like Melania Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio are notably absent from this year’s guest list, signaling a shift in tone and attendance.
