Trump says Jacqui Heinrich "She can be nasty" while praising her appearance

President Donald Trump, speaking at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on July 25, 2026—an event moved to the Waldorf Astoria with tighter security after a gunman disrupted the original April gathering—criticized incoming association president Jacqui Heinrich, remarking on her appearance and reporting style. The dinner, attended by roughly 700 people, marked Trump’s first as president; he also targeted CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and other political figures during his hour-long speech. The rescheduled event honored a Secret Service officer who confronted the shooter.
