Trump's Plans for 'Mic-Drop' Media Confrontation Are Leaked [View all]

The president is planning a rage-fueled moment at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Donald Trump will launch a “revenge” attack on the White House media when he confronts them in person at a Washington dinner on Saturday night—then flee before there can be revenge.

He is expected to target publications that he has accused of writing negatively about his administration and his war with Iran, in particular, according to sources.

The Daily Beast is among the outlets the president and his aides have accused of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump will leave the White House Correspondents’ Association event after making his speech, so he will miss the presentation of press awards—one of which would be certain to embarrass him.

He has told aides he has no intention of still being in the International Ballroom at the Washington Hilton when the Wall Street Journal is honored with the Katherine Graham award for its scoop about a bawdy letter Trump allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday card.
