“The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these ‘Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!”
Typical I had to search a while to get the FULL quote. Most sources continue to edit Trump so he sounds less like a flaming asshole.
One of the "Greatest Presidents"? OMG. Only if the future no longer has any connection to reality.

I still think that he is going to back out. There is no way the diapered baby is going to sit there while people make fun of him and his administration. His ego could not take it.

The Ministry of Truth will fix all the textbooks so that all great things, from authoring the Declaration of Independence to the earth colony on Mars, being personally done by Trump the Great and Powerful.

Or will it be rigged to be a Trump love fest?
I seriously doubt there will be any of the hard satire we've seen in past correspondent's dinners.

Of course there won’t be. The host this year is a “mentalist”.
“ Mentalist Odes Pearlman is set to host the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner, marking a shift from the traditional comedian host to a renowned mentalist. This choice suggests a unique approach to the event, with Pearlman expected to offer insights into the minds of Washington's newsmakers. “
Given who the occupants of the room will be and that the theme is to “read their thoughts”, I will venture a guess to say the “mentalist” will struggle to find anything going on between the ears of any of the participants.

Mentalism fascinated Adolf Hitler as well
