Watch: "The Trump Show" at the Dinner
The White House Correspondents' Dinner turned into a show by President Trump. He used the dinner to sting the journalists and attack his political rivals.
Assessment
The White House Correspondents' Dinner, traditionally a night of lighthearted ribbing between journalists and the president, was used by Trump as a platform to needle the press and go after his political opponents. This signals a further breakdown in the already strained relationship between the administration and the media. The key question is whether this aggressive posture will intensify or if it marks a peak in the public sparring.
