With Donald Trump a war on the media, one of the longest dinner events in DC Media ended tonight through the first amendment elites, bypassing the traditional gesture of the President of the United States.
The annual Gridiron Club dinner, dating back to the eighties of the nineteenth century, was noticeable that the Trump administration officials, in contrast to previous years when the cabinet secretaries and higher than senior White House officials, were listening to a mixture of musical plays and humor.
This year, the Cabinet official was the only cabinet at the Grand Hayat event, the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Scott Turner, who was joined by the Minister of the Army, Drescol, Deputy Prosecutor Todd Blanche, Director of NASA Jarid Asman and Janet Niswat, a candidate for the public wound.
Speakers of this event-who delivered comedy Steak-the governor of the state and the governor of the state, and MP Lisa Makkalin (R-Mi).
Last year, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris attended dinner. During his first term, Trump came in 2018, until he presented some words of praise to the media. “Many of you cover things very directly, and there are few professions that I respect more … I want to thank the press for everything you do to support and preserve our democracy. I mean that,” Trump said.
In the weeks that passed from his second term, Trump prevented the Associated Press from covering the events of the White House because of their decision to keep signals to the Gulf of America, while his chairman at the Federal Communications Committee, Brendan Car, launched an interrogation of CBS and ABC regarding their decisions in reports. On Friday, Trump spoke to the Ministry of Justice and announced that CNN and MSNBC reports were “illegal”, while he moved to dismantle the US -funded broadcast entities such as Voice of America.
Trump's attacks were definitely in the minds of many at dinner. Judy Woodrov, president of Gridiron Club, showed video excerpts of the former presidents of the Republican Party in this event, including Trump, to every politician. Instead, the Washington Post was “the tradition of the president's afflicted glasses, Washington Post said.
The dinner approach has long been towards crawling and the spirit of humor was “Singe, not burning”, and there were many materials to benefit from this year. The opening match was marked by journalists, who filmed Jeff Bezos and Eileon Musk, at the take -off of a piece of cabaret. Musk: “I will turn the Republican Party into AFD. What can they do to prevent me, Moon Freiri?”
Dinner is not broadcast, with his sermons, humor and crawling spirit even after its end. This is in contrast to the White House Correspondents' dinner next month, a televised event that usually shows the president who offers a tandoub, followed by a real comedy. The White House did not say whether Trump would attend, but there are doubts about it. The comedian who will perform, Amber Ruffin, handed over a sharp humor targeting Trump.
