Trump cracks jokes, honors heroes of White House Correspondents' Association Dinner shooting at glitzy rescheduled gala

President Trump played comedian-in-chief Friday night at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner, where he had the entire room roaring as he quipped about a third term, Nicki Minaj twerking and trying to pair dress shoes with bulletproof vests in an entertaining and unifying speech. 'As I said three months ago, the show must go on,' Trump said at the pared-down, more intimate dinner, three months after the initial night of celebration was cut short by the attempted assassination of the president. 'After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, Get down! Get down! which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking,' he quipped. 'Do you believe?' Later, Trump joked about trying to pair nice dress shoes with a bulletproof vest. 'Everyone's looking really good tonight, and I know it was not easy finding shoes to go along with your bulletproof vest, which many people didn't want to wear because they'd rather die than look 20 pounds heavier,' he jested. 'But just like my presidency, the second time is always better. It's always better, and the third time will be better yet,' he joked to a chorus of laughter. The dinner was held at the Waldorf Astoria under heightened security. The WHCA honored Secret Service officer Victor Gonzales. The crowd gave a standing ovation to the hero officer.
