Trump returns to White House correspondents' dinner after April attack halted gala
- On Friday, July 24, President Donald Trump invoked rapper Nicki Minaj during the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C., joking about her reaction to the April shooting incident.
- The rescheduled dinner followed an April gala where gunman Cole Thomas Allen breached security, forcing attendees to take cover; organizers framed the event as a moment of unity, though Trump used the podium to roast media figures.
- Recalling the April incident, Trump claimed that "many people yelled 'Get down!' which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking." The 43-year-old singer has recently aligned herself with the president, declaring herself his "number one fan."
- Minaj was not present at the dinner, which drew fewer celebrities than the original April event; her public support for the administration sparked varied social media reactions, with some users criticizing the president's remarks.
- The rapper has frequently visited the White House this year, describing herself as "probably the president's No." She has stated that she identifies with the "bullying" and "smear campaigns" she believes the president has faced throughout his career.
