In that roasting, Trump is also expected, whether he has fresh material and turns the jokes on himself, to go far longer that the 45 minutes he is allocated. With a room full of cabinet members and staff plus UFC pal and Paramount Skydance guest Dana White, and maybe California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a number of journalists who believe Trump and his administration have relentlessly attacked the First Amendment since returning to office will be wearing buttons and other symbols of their dissent. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tTalking to C-SPAN while walking into the dinner, RFK Jr said \u201cI\u2019m anticipating that the President is going to put on a big performance and probably offend some people in the press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe NYT, who has had a long complicated and often legally entangled relationship with Trump, is one of few top tier media organizations that does not have a table at the WHCD. However, the paper does cover the event so there will be NYT reporters in the ballroom if POTUS decides to go after them in person. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tRipped by President Barack Obama back in 2011 at that year\u2019s WHCD, Trump is intending to be in and out in haste before and after his Fake News remarks, and not staying around for the actual awards or the routine by<em> America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> alum Oz Pearlman. Leaning into that 20111 WHCD, which also saw Obama managing the fatal attack on Osama bin Laden, there are whispers that Trump will reveal a big move of some sort in regards to the war with Iran or another top story for the sheer drama of it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStay tuned. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case anyone thought Donald Trump was going to be nice to the media before hitting his first White House Correspondents Dinner as POTUS tonight, well they just lost big on that Polymarket prediction.
