President Trump made his debut at a Washington press dinner Saturday night by mocking the media, his Democratic critics, his staff, and even himself — a little bit.
President Donald Trump on Saturday night traded humorous jabs with a cabal of lawmakers, administration officials, media figures and military officers at the annual Gridiron Dinner in Washington.
On Saturday night, President Trump was not having the sort of evening he prefers. For starters, he was dressed in white-tie finery, not the golf-ready khakis he favors on weekends. He was surrounded by the very members of the mainstream media he routinely derides. And rather than his beloved Fox News, his entertainment was skits and musical acts, some of which poked fun at him.
