Why are they even going?

285

whichwitch9 Apr 26, 2026 +195

It's their event, not Trump's. Trump is hijacking it. The president is just invited and typically attends out of respect Id agree with Acosta. Go, but walk out if Trump makes a scene. 2 can play his game

Better, kick him the f*** out.

RoboYuji Apr 26, 2026 +29

Man, I would pay actual money to watch them kick him out if they'd actually do it.

29

I-Am-Yew Apr 26, 2026 +23

Well he got himself escorted out with ‘shots fired’ so he left already. Dinner is already resuming.

Can't wait for the t-shirt from MAGA commemorating it.

Initial_Strength_746 Apr 26, 2026 -2

Dinner didn’t resume, moron.

TR_abc_246 Apr 26, 2026 +22

I think he hijacked it to have a false flag in order to get the ballroom built. In his press conference just now the ballroom was the first thing he spoke about!

22

whichwitch9 Apr 26, 2026 +6

Oof. Yeah, he wants to not go out in public. Even if we were to believe it's not a false flag, gone are the days where a president literally gets shot and finishes his speech. Instead, we have this coward

6

soldins Apr 26, 2026 +5

He's not Teddy Roosevelt, as much as he aspires to be.

5

whichwitch9 Apr 26, 2026 +7

Please with what he's done to the National Park service, his name doesn't belong in the same sentence as him

7

booksgamesandstuff Apr 26, 2026 +1

Do you really think he even knows who Teddy Roosevelt was?

1

Artistic-Law-9567 Apr 26, 2026 +5

The first thing he spoke about after 9/11 was his tower being tallest. He didn’t orchestrate that. He’s just a narcissist. He doesn’t need a reason for his ballroom, he’s already doing it. He knocked down the East Wing with zero permission.

5

TR_abc_246 Apr 26, 2026 +6

He does need a reason. The courts shut his ballroom down. He was told no he cannot build it.

6

JustWordsSnowflake Apr 26, 2026 +2

Plus JD was rushed off first. While Trump sat for a photo opp…. Almost like they knew….

2

lrpfftt Apr 26, 2026 +5

This president is incapable of respect.

5

Constant_Wear_8919 Apr 26, 2026 +4

Turns out he did make a scene

4

kingjamesporn Apr 26, 2026 +3

Or the chatter about what he was planning was misinterpreted and we'll have another odd event where we the public should learn every detail, but don't. Seems to happen a lot when his numbers bottom out.

3

StandardAssignment19 Apr 26, 2026 +1

And he did hijack it with a fake ass shooting attempt. Even his conspiracies are worse the second time.

1

novatom1960 Apr 26, 2026 +1

I notice you avoided placing “Trump” and “respect” in the same sentence. 😎

radbaddad23 Apr 26, 2026 -2

Exactly! They shouldn’t be there in the first place.

-2

tom-of-the-nora Apr 26, 2026 -2

Because of money and the connections to power the companies have that employ the journalists.

-2

lake_lover_ Apr 26, 2026 +113

Seems like it’s over before it began.

113

MultiGeometry Apr 26, 2026 +56

Lots of journalists did in fact walk out

56

lake_lover_ Apr 26, 2026 +11

Before they got locked in the ballroom?

11

livahd Apr 26, 2026 +49

Seems like they’re all leaving now!

AceofKnaves44 Apr 26, 2026 +63

“If” Trump attacks the press?

Broad-Belt-5888 Apr 26, 2026 +12

Sounds like it went the other way

pinkyepsilon Apr 26, 2026 +9

Did Jim Acosta f****** snap?

moodyblue8222 Apr 26, 2026 +54

If they had any respect for themselves or America, they wouldn’t be going!

54

InourbtwotamI Apr 26, 2026 +38

I like Acosta’s take. If they show up, it shows they care. If they walk out on HIM, that shows they don’t care for him specifically

38

Fullertonjr Apr 26, 2026 +22

They need to show up. This ensures that the administration doesn’t cancel it beforehand. Before Trump is expected to enter, everyone should eat their food and then immediately walk out.

22

bulking_on_broccoli Apr 26, 2026 +9

I’m pretty sure this is an event that the president is invited to, rather than an event the White House puts on. So they can’t cancel it?

9

LaLa1234imunoriginal Apr 26, 2026 +5

Yeah they shouldn't just be protesting Trump being Trump, they should be protesting him being invited at all. It's insulting to these people to invite a President who has shown nothing but contempt and disrespect for Journalism as a profession.

5

reddititty69 Apr 26, 2026 +17

He has been attacking the press for 10 years. Why go at all?

17

stryker_cast Apr 26, 2026 +12

Or just don't go? A lot of those journalists probably need to rewind their tapes before taking them back to Blockbuster.

12

C__S__S Apr 26, 2026 +11

It’s all a sham to enrage the base. What a joke this country has become.

Can't tell at this point if it's fake news, staged event, or real. [Trump evacuated from correspondents dinner](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/25/trump-evacuated-from-white-house-correspondents-association-dinner-00892113)

No_Yogurtcloset7776 Apr 26, 2026 +20

Surprised he was evacuated. Surprised he didnt...Just raise his dumb fist in fake triumph

20

Rynvael Apr 26, 2026 +3

I'm sure he and his administration will do something similar later

3

TankApprehensive3053 Apr 26, 2026 +7

It will be part of his rally speeches now. "I am the only president to survive three (or was it more) attempts on my life".

7

ptanaka Apr 26, 2026 +2

Huge attacks. The biggest. Worst in history. People say they've never heard of a president with so many attempted attacks such as me.

Zookeepergame-Super Apr 26, 2026 +2

SpudgeBoy Apr 26, 2026 +3

Shooter? Only shots fired were secret service? I haven't heard anybody call the persona d shooter yet.

3

StrangePhotoSTL Apr 26, 2026 +1

Tell that to the secret service agent who was shot

ticklemesatan Apr 26, 2026 +7

Welp, a scene was made.

kahner Apr 26, 2026 +5

well, the DID end up walking out

No need to worry Jim. They staged a fake shooting so everyone left lol

rogerisreading Apr 26, 2026 +5

Well, as it turned out, everyone walked out after all. Another suspicious assassination attempt?

5

"Trump evacuated after gunshots heard" Who believes this shit anymore? I hope they keep the dinner and roast going.

C__S__S Apr 26, 2026 +4

I’ve never believed any of it. It’s all a show.

4

VNM0601 Apr 26, 2026 +7

If the press had any spine they’d have questioned every corrupt shit this administration has done so far. But they’re just as complicit.

7

BakedBee88-08 Apr 26, 2026 +3

Well, SOMEBODY def walked out tonight

3

One_Ad4360 Apr 26, 2026 +3

Seems like they ran out instead.

3

MaestroLogical Apr 26, 2026 +5

Honestly, the place should have been a ghost town, as every journalist snubbed the invite. But then they wouldn't get to dress up for prom and get drunk with colleagues.

5

Trump was the least of their concerns.

Don't invite him.

Enchanted_Culture Apr 26, 2026 +2

Cancel the reschedule please, steal Trump’s thunder.

2

General-Piece8490 Apr 26, 2026 +3

Never mind a shooter took care of Trump so he could leave early. Maybe on purpose? Guaranteed he’ll post something about tonight when the meds kick in.

3

TankApprehensive3053 Apr 26, 2026 +2

He already did.

2

Successful_Gas_5122 Apr 26, 2026 +3

Someone's gotta dramatically pinch their nose and ask "What's that smell?" before they leave

3

livinginfutureworld Apr 26, 2026 +2

"If"? Mango Mussolini is one note of course he will attack the press because he's trying to spread fake news and he doesn't like it when people push back at all

2

InourbtwotamI Apr 26, 2026 +1

They should totally do this.

1

Cosmic_Seth Apr 26, 2026 +1

We all know they won't.

1

Disastrous_Ad626 Apr 26, 2026 +1

Apparently shots fired at this event

1

qawsedrf12 Apr 26, 2026 +1

He's gone anyway. Shooter taken out

1

swrrrrg Apr 26, 2026 +1

I mean, okay, but they shouldn’t even go at all. There’s nothing worse for a narcissist than people not giving them the attention they believe they deserve. Stop humouring him. It’s better if the room is empty when he goes in.

1

happyscrappy Apr 26, 2026 +1

Well, that kind of became the smaller story.

1

Chedditor_ Apr 26, 2026 +1

Well, someone attacked someone and they walked out, that's for sure

1

LoudVegetable868 Apr 26, 2026 +1

So instead...someone attacks him ! Must be the press..enemy of freedom/s

1

crythinklaugh Apr 26, 2026

Acosta was the first journalist “banned as fake news” from the white house! T had a personal vendetta against him and he wrote a great book -The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America. Legend!

0

fcatw Apr 26, 2026 +1

I mean why even go at all in the first place. They should boycott white press secretary too. The thing these clowns fear the most is being irrelevant

1

Tobias---Funke Apr 26, 2026 +1

Or just don't go.

1

i_like_cake_96 Apr 26, 2026 +1

This was all so convenient reality star donnie decides to attend mass media white house correspondents dinner. Shots fired from the most secure hotel in the US. Donnie somehow survives another assassination attempt. makes me want to vomit.

1

BCdelivery Apr 26, 2026 +1

He will never be able to live down the roasting he took from Barack Obama at that dinner in 2011. It is probably likely to be Trump’s villain origin story. I love to give it a watch again from time to time. See the man squirming and grimacing, waving back. It’s a beautiful thing.

1

Future_Grapefruit607 Apr 26, 2026 +1

Acosta is not even a journalist. His comment shows that. F’ing idiot.

1

Dangerous-Change2136 Apr 26, 2026 +1

Jim Acosta has far too much esteem for his colleagues

1

motionbutton Apr 26, 2026 +1

I would assume that most people going to this are either having blood move to their nether regions over trump or are being forced to go by there CBS bosses and maybe some journalists just covering the event. It will be a shit show

1

Cheap-Road-Trip5367 Apr 26, 2026 +1

There's really very few of the press left who might actually have the gumption to display this type of fortitude.

1

Fluffy-Inspector-797 Apr 26, 2026 +1

Looks like it was the other way around, as usual, although none of them could hardly be considered journalists.

-Wicked- Apr 26, 2026 +1

Okay Jim. So edgy.

-1

Chance-Mix-9444 Apr 26, 2026 -2

Well one of Jim’s comrades tried to run in and shoot it up. So much for free speech. Even though he wasn’t transitioned into a slice of Swiss cheese, it’s better to have the comrade taken into custody without further violence.

"If the government doesn't like the press, that makes the press fake news" is such a hot, *I hate the first ammendment* take that your pants are likely about to combust.

tellingitlikeitis338 Apr 26, 2026 -1

There’s no way any of the reporters would do this. They are all incredible cowards. I mean not one says anything as Trump insults them openly. They’re a bunch of spineless pussies.
