Trump wants a correspondents’ dinner redo. Critics aren’t convinced.

In the United States on 28 April 2026, Trump called for a White House correspondents' dinner redo, and the Washington Post reported that critics are not convinced. Trump and Melania Trump called for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a joke that called Melania an 'expectant widow'. Süddeutsche Zeitung described the dispute as following the attempted attack in Washington.

Kimmel said his joke was misconstrued and, according to El País, said it was not an incitement to assassination. La Repubblica quoted him as saying 'Want to stop hate? Start with your husband', and reported that ABC's TV licences were in the spotlight. Fox News reported that Newsom's wife lashed out at Trump after he ripped a '60 Minutes' host.
