A choir line of former presidents from the past years appeared via the old video to deliver an abandoned speech that was edited, but there was no current Potus, nor the vice president, and no comic and a few Hollywood players are not grilled at the White House correspondent dinner tonight in Washington, DC.
However, as Donald Trump is still for the first time in WhCD as president, the President of the White House Representative Association did not have any intention to buried Lady on Saturday from the Parliament between the current White House and the institutional media in America. “We journalists are many things,” Daniels chanted with a constant applause in his first amendment to celebrate the closing statements on this 96th day of Trump 2.0. “We are not the opposition. We are not the enemy of people, and we are not the enemy of the state.”

After ending Whcd before the past years, Daniels opened his comments by treating the elephant not in the Washington Hilton Hall: “Every year we call the president to this dinner. For decades, we do not make some extent to this political spectrum. Carrie does not only extend to the presidents who say they love defense of the first amendment in the free press.
However, while Caa and UTA were holding parties this weekeY Annual anniversary, the so -called NERD Prom 2025 lacks the usual cadre of the Oscar winners, the Amy and Legion winners of the deep donor donor.
Yes, White Lotus Jason Isaacax was in the third season in Whcd, as was the case in OG WONDER Woman Lynda Carter, Alex Borstein and ALEX Borstein and Very bad alum Dean of Norris. Yes, the elite of cables, network and media was online (including the head of the DC office on the pluscinemaz.comof Ted Johnson) at home, along with the mayor of the besieged New York City Eric Adams.
Even with the presence of the former press secretary of the severe White House Sean Spicer and the CNN Vet Frank Sesno, the castle is technically held on C-SPAN, and the MSNBC broadcasts the collection of the combination to the dessert with a comment from the Molly Jong-Fast and others, the atmosphere was very low. Low key, but the effect may not be less compared to previous years, with or without Trump in the audience
“I know this was a very difficult year for everyone,” Daniels told Daniels, the distinguished MSNBC host in WHCA and the MSNBC host, the crowd who initially suffers from WHCD for the year 2025. “It was difficult for this association. We were tested, attacked.”
Trump 2.0 definitely witnessed WHCA stripped of the power of the swimming pool rotation, as the Associated Press was removed from the White House events, and the hierarchical sequence of the briefing hall turned. With Free Press and the rule of law at a threat from Trump now, the Whica herself did not leaving Do I have news for you? normal. Also, the lack of a muscular general reaction on the AP under fire from the Trump team has revealed sections in the WHCA.
However, even as the cameras went to Yamiche alcindor, which believes that the NBC news correspondent was Ryan in April, it was tonight, as Daniels said on the stage “We are only.” In this distinction, frankly in the press over the past year it was the center.

Looking at the big story standing in front of the media during the recent administration, there was reprimand from journalists covering the executive palace tonight from Axios' Alex Tombson.
While praising the WHCA work, the constitution participated and his next book was delivered in his writing with Jake Taber from CNN, the Aldou Bclican Award for Comprehensive Excellence in covering the White House Tombson, noticed a decline in confidence in the media. More specifically to mobilize the celebration hall, Thompson also treated many people in the room to be honest with themselves and the audience about the extent of “deception”.Y Potos Health by his assistants and supporters to this catastrophic debate last year.
Then he is still a candidate for his re -election, President Biden came and spoke glowing about the power of the Free Press in 2024 in Whcd. Majd came to Biden for being a “good man”, ” SNL Participated weekend, Colin Ghost, was the comedy actor after Potos.
Meanwhile, with Botus just returning from the funeral of Pope Francis and even in New Jersey, the Maga crowd this year was holding Chendeig across the city at the Williad Hotel. The meeting was the first appearance of the Donald Trump JR. The subscriber in the establishment of the Special Executive Branch Club. Unlike WhcD, the membership of the Executive Branch of $ 100,000 aims to maintain its occurrence away from the eyes of the press.
In this context, it summarized a famous speech immediately by the outgoing WHCA leader Daniels. Wall Street JournalIvan Geckovic spent behind bars in Russia, adding that “the attacks on journalists do not depend on our borders.”
Daniels said: “Every day, journalists in this country face threats to intimidation, lawsuits and violence,” they appear in several ways as the sudden guest that the Whica hinted at WhCD. “These attacks aim to do one thing, prevented us from sharing the truth with people. To our friends at Associated Press. I have taken more than you should have to do so, but what you had carried from the beginning is that your battle is not about you. It is related to the ability of every person in this room to make free and independent liberal decisions without government interference.”
A very public club does not need to be proven that Whcd does not need Potus to own the night in the capital.
