Donald Trump sparked a fresh wave of outrage in Washington on Friday night as he used his rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner speech at the Waldorf Astoria to crack a joke about Nicki Minaj twerking in response to gunfire at the previous event.
For context, the black-tie dinner was being held nearly three months after the original WHCA gala was cut short by an alleged assassination attempt on the 80-year-old president. Federal prosecutors say a man opened fire near the earlier event, sending guests scrambling for cover and forcing organisers to abandon the traditional comedy set in favour of an emergency lockdown and evacuation.
