Trump takes swipes at press during White House Correspondents’ Dinner
The outgoing WHCA head said she would "refuse to let an act of violence have the final word", referring to the gunman tackled at the first dinner in April. But the tone shifted as Trump aimed barbs at the "fake news" and accused many journalists in the room of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome". Trump stood and shook hands with award winners, including a Wall Street Journal team who was given an award for coverage of Trump's links to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
