Donald Trump is expected to use his appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington on Saturday to deliver a sharply worded 'revenge' speech against the press and then leave the event early, according to a report citing people familiar with his plans.
The news came after weeks of increasingly hostile posts from Trump on his social media platform, in which he has accused mainstream outlets of distorting coverage of his administration and, in particular, his handling of the war with Iran. The annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, held at the Washington Hilton, traditionally blends political comedy, media self-congratulation and a presidential speech, but Trump's relationship with the press has rarely fit that light-hearted script.
