Stephen Colbert Responds to Trump’s Proposal to Target the Press at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Donald Trump is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time in ten years, planning to criticize the media in his speech and leave before the awards. Stephen Colbert, on the Late Show, humorously reacted to the news, mimicking Trump’s voice and implying he would mockingly engage with the reporters. Colbert also talked about why Trump might leave early, as The Wall Street Journal will receive an award for reporting on an embarrassing story related to Jeffrey Epstein, and another honoring a photojournalist for capturing a moment when someone had a medical emergency in the Oval Office while Trump remained passive. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel opted to host a roast-filled alternative event to coincide with the dinner.
