U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at "fake news media" and talked about serving a banned third term as he addressed a rescheduled White House correspondents dinner on July 24, three months after the event was disrupted by an assassination attempt.
"This place is really the largest group of Trump derangement syndrome people ever put together at one time," Trump told the media gala at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington.
The 80-year-old started with a relatively conciliatory tone, reflecting on the attack by a gunman that forced him to be evacuated from the dinner in April.
