Trump lobs insults at political opponents, press during rescheduled White House correspondents' dinner
White House,News Media,Donald Trump
President Donald Trump addressed reporters and other guests Friday at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, which was rescheduled after ending abruptly three months ago when shots rang out, seesawing from a tone of working together with the press to lobbing insults against his political opponents and some journalists.
The speech, which lasted more than an hour and received an at-times muted response from the attendees, ended with the president donning a red cap reading "Trump 2028" after joking that he was running for another term, which is barred by the Constitution.
