Donald Trump says "change the name of it" after being told dinner will be renamed for him

President Donald Trump attended the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, D.C., for the first time and delivered a lengthy speech that included barbs aimed at journalists and public figures. During the event, Trump stated that Paramount Global CEO David Ellison had informed him the dinner would be renamed “the Trump White House Correspondents’ Dinner” next year. Trump expressed approval of that idea and said the change would be implemented. The remark was part of a broader address in which Trump criticized the media, mocked several individuals, and referenced his past refusal to attend the gathering due to what he described as unfair treatment. The dinner drew attention because of Trump’s direct, adversarial tone toward the press, highlighting his ongoing strained relationship with news organizations.
