President Donald Trump will deliver a “unifying yet vicious” speech to the White House Correspondents’ Association on Friday at a dinner celebrating press freedom that was postponed after a shooting outside the original event, the White House said.
Trump will be addressing journalists from major news organizations with whom he has clashed over coverage and access.

“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. One thing I can assure you, it will be entertaining,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
The black-tie gathering of journalists, politicians and administration officials was called off on April 25 after a man tried to force his way through a security checkpoint and fired a shotgun outside the ballroom where Trump and members of his cabinet were taking their seats.
