Trump to deliver ‘unifying yet vicious’ remarks at press dinner months after shooting incident, White House says
Trump is scheduled to speak.“The president’s speech will be a combination of unifying yet vicious, and serious yet hilarious, all at the same time, if you can imagine that,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC News on Friday. “One thing I can assure you, it will be entertaining.”A senior White House official told NBC News earlier this week that “it’s safe to say” that Trump will “briefly address” the April violence in his remarks. I’ll be very boring the next time, but we’re going to have a great event.” The gala is being held at Washington’s Waldorf Astoria — formerly the Trump International Hotel — rather than the Washington Hilton, where the dinner had been held every year since 1972.
