US EditionViral Video: Donald Trump Falls as Evacuation Turns Chaotic During White House Shooting; Social Media Reacts with Memes
Oz Pearlman replaces the usual comedian as Trump attends the annual press dinner, where cameras will track audience reactions and journalists' faces.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump attended the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, marking his first appearance at the annual event after avoiding it throughout his entire first term.
- Instead of a traditional comedian, Israeli mentalist Oz Pearlman hosted the dinner, departing from past practice where comedians provided ribbing; the 2011 event notably featured birtherism jokes targeting Trump.
- Journalists discussed "practicing my resting face" to avoid negative on-camera reactions, according to Brian Stelter, while critics called for a boycott citing Trump's rhetoric labeling the press the "enemy of the people."
- Cameras will track audience reactions during the speech, similar to the Oscars format, while RFK anticipates the President will "offend some people in the press" during his performance.
- Earlier Saturday, attendees gathered at Tammy Haddad's 33rd annual Garden Brunch, featuring sponsors McDonalds, Uber, and Meta, before the dinner began at 8 p.m. ET via C-SPAN livestream.
