Expect the unexpected for Trump’s first White House Correspondents’ Dinner as president

Oz Pearlman is hoping that his mentalist wizardry is the most memorable moment at tonight’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

But even Pearlman probably can’t predict what President Trump is going to say on stage.

Trump is attending Washington’s annual celebration of the First Amendment for the first time as president.

It’s a highly unusual setting for a president who frequently rails against real news he calls “fake.” Given both Trump’s words and actions against the press, the White House Correspondents’ Association has come under criticism for encouraging him to come to the dinner.
