President Trump announced on Truth Social Tuesday that the White House Correspondents Dinner, which was cut short April 25 due to an assassination attempt, has been rescheduled for July 24.
Trump says he has been invited again to speak “and have accepted” – pointing out that the event this time will be held at The Waldorf Astoria in the nation’s capital, “a building and ballroom that I built,” he points out.
The president posted on Truth Social:
“In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th. This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling.
“I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted. I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a ‘HOT’ ticket!
“Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built.”
The White House Correspondents Association issued a statement Tuesday indicating: “When gunfire interrupted this year’s event, it further clarified the WHCA’s mission to advocate for the freedoms that are protected in the First Amendment. We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word.”
