Trump faces fresh humiliation at WH Correspondents Dinner

Last edited Wed Apr 15, 2026, 12:18 AM - Edit history (1)

I wonder if he'll chicken out at the last minute and not even go? I suspect that the only reason he agreed to go was that he assumed his Iran "excursion " would go according to his fantasy and that he would be taking an insufferably self aggrandizing victory lap. Even he must realize on some level at this point that it has been an unqualified fiasco. And now he's learned that talk of his connection to Epstein will be featured prominently....

..."The WHCA announced Monday that the Journal will be given the Katherine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for reporting on a suggestive letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein in 2003. The letter, outlined in the shape of a female figure, is an imagined dialogue between the two former pals which concludes with the line: “Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” A signature reading “Donald” appears at the bottom.
.....
The WHCA is also presenting Getty photographer Andrew Harnik its Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage by Visual Journalists. In November, Harnik captured Trump in the Oval Office standing around while others attend to a man who had fainted.".....(more)

Who would be there to embarrass him? It will be a kiss-a..s session as usual. And it will be the WH correspondents who have to listen to HIM try to embarrass and humilate THEm. No thanks.

He was upset enough about the article that is being lauded to file a $10 billion lawsuit against the WSJ for "defamation," although the judge recently threw it out.The photo that will receive a separate prize was also pretty damning.
