Trump delivers combative, often flat speech at WHCA dinner
The WHCA Dinner used to be an event at which POTUS was roasted by the press, which ostensibly served the purpose of reminding POTUS of the role of the news media as a check on executive power. Now it is a humiliation ritual for journalists, in which their very presence is evidence of subservience.
FuckTrump🚫👑🐸5It scratches his abuser, sadism kink The performative & public humiliation ritual is how he grooms people and the public. It’s how he normalizes his antisocial behaviors & personality bsky.app/profile/hill...
Russ Copeland5It's absolutely vulgar at this point.
maraleia4It's a thing that never should have taken place to begin with.
Willie, cosmopolitan elite cowdog2I think it's fair to say that everything we grew up believing about our nation has been usurped by a buncha cucks, pedophiles and rich fucking assholes...
Yxuppi!1The press is already subservient. It’s good for them to be humiliated in public alongside the Humiliated-Pooper-in-Chief. I assume that particular bomb didn’t get dropped today. They should have held it on Epstein Island.
Tubbles1I'd respect anyone there who told Trump to go fuck himself loudly, but the class of journalist who goes to those things are all a bunch of lickspittles.
All of this occurring while Trump was speaking at WHCA dinner, likely a message
Kevin 🍅🥫20Like a reverse bin-Laden raid
jetblackbox15Iran has this planned out so that gas hits $6 per gallon two weeks before the midterm election.
Changed_Display_Name_Again6So another whole war between SA and Houthis seems inevitable after this. Bad news for Red Sea shipping. If this keeps up we will see oil break 100 early next week.

bsassy06.bsky.social80What an absolute knob 🙄
@SuzanaD352I like this one better
Stay Strong!40He saw himself on the monitor and thought he was a general 🤭
WhyNotMichigan31He salutes North Korean generals. I wouldn’t put too much thought into whatever he’s doing here.
rhonnie-72.bsky.social23Why? His peabrain thinks it makes him look patriotic to salute at the Star Spangled Banner, or any other public event/occasion. Not patriotic- just idiotic.
LeChatNoir15this should have a warning label...OMG the NECKKKKKK
😸 Hugo the pink cat 😸14.... Is it silly that this is one of the dumbass annoying things he does that I will be so relieved I will no longer have to see once he [redacted]?
nullifie4In Japan, half of this photo is pixelated.
Desert Rose4Who the fuck is he saluting? Himself?
The-Autistic-Artist 🥥 🍀 🏳️🌈 Doomsday and Coyote vs. Acme Era3... Who does he think the salute is for?
judylu.bsky.social2Who the hxll is he saluting? He's out of his mind. 25th amendment NOW.
Veronica 🌶️2He is not going to love this angle, LOL
Trump‘s White House correspondents dinner speech is rambling and deeply boring. The few jokes he attempts are bombing. At least I think they’re jokes. Hard to tell.
Norwood Creech5He is fully entertaining himself. Clueless. What more does anyone need to realize this person is not qualified to lead our country?
Lindafla 🇨🇦🇺🇸📎3It’s a cross between a drunk uncle and a random guy’s first open mic at the local comedy club.

ksrnow2If the journalists had any grit, they would have walked out.

I have seen happier people in hostage videos then those at the WHCA dinner.
Auntie Em13I hope they ate Taylor Farms salad.
Cling2Reality5Trump: The media is unpatriotic anti-American scum who should be hanged for treason Media: Please come to our black tie dinner and laugh at jokes with us
Bonnie, proudly RLS4They asked for it by attending.
Wendy Malloy4Zero sympathy. They shouldn’t have gone in the first place and they should be walking out right now. He’s a disgusting pig.
Jennifer Weeks4Anyone in the press who goes to that deserves it
💗Christine3Thank you for watching so those who won’t …
Trump bombed at the WHCA dinner. He knew he was bombing, too, and he even tried to meta-joke his way out of it. But even his jokes about his bad jokes fell flat, and he was widely ridiculed for the comedy routine. Thank the First Amendment. www.cnn.com/2026/07/25/m...
GermanNerd4sure, sure, but how about not inviting him in the first place? now that would deserve some respect. Trump is the biggest liar in human history. he attacks the press & press freedom every day. he's a racist, sexual predator & conman. he shouldn't be invited to anything but a Klan rally.
KB4The point of the WHCD is for journalists to cozy up to power. It is an abomination.
Nicholas Bauer PhD3He should not have been there.
Simon Little 🍁7And yet the entire US media establishment played along like pathetic lackeys
AdotSad2Why am I thanking the first amendment for this dumpsterfire. We already know the Trump stuff with you guys is kayfabe and the MSM isn't his enemy (nor does the media feel threatened by Trump)
Anderson Cooper has "got a little bit different persuasion than me." Don Lemon is the "dumbest man on television." - President Trump at the rescheduled WHCA Dinner.
Steve Herman44"Iran is going very well. Don't believe the fake news," President Trump tells a room full of journalists at the correspondents' dinner. "They're talking to us right now. They're ready to make a deal."
EB Estes9At least Don Rickles was funny when he insulted you
KlamorKitten (She/Her)6Shame on every 'journalist' there. They could have stayed home. I would love a list of all the attendees.
Richie Ryan4He really is just living the dream ever since Obama laid some zingers on him and kicked off this garbage timeline.
ksrnow3The journalists should've used that moment to get up and walk the eff out.
j-waller55.bsky.social3Trump isn't making clever jokes about journalists and his political opponents, he's just being mean and disparaging.
Greg Pak269Shame on the WHCA for platforming this disgrace.
Dan of the Year9corporate media has a humiliation kink
Kevin 🍅🥫4Hey look, the WHCA platformed a homophobe!
Derek2They deserve this for having him there at all,and I've always said this dinners existence at all undercutting their supposed "truth to power" line because you really expect us to believe youll timely report bad stuff the people you hang out with do?Like Haberman and Swan getting all that credit for
DodgerFanLA2Lemons not on CNN and hasn’t been for three years. I don’t even think he’s on TV anymore. He’s a YouTuber.
