The president Donald Trump hosted the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Friday night, where he delivered a speech lasting over an hour in which he praised some journalists, took jabs at others, and even joked about the possibility of seeking a third term.
"As I said three months ago, the show must go on", the president declared as he began his speech, celebrating the decision to reschedule the dinner. Before starting his speech, Trump noted that a "mass assassination attempt" could have occurred that night in April when a Democratic activist opened fire at the hotel where the event was being held.
Due to this leftist attack, the dinner had to be rescheduled and held in a smaller venue. Security was tighter and included armed agents and security guards. The Secret Service agent who was at a checkpoint in April and was hit by a bullet in his protective vest while protecting Trump was also honored.
Trump's unmissable words
Trump spoke for just over an hour and dedicated some words to Jane Fonda, Bruce Springsteen, and Barack Hussein Obama. He also mentioned failed hosts Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel; far-left Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar; California Governor Gavin Newsom; and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie among others.
