Here's what you missed from Trump's first WHCA Dinner as president: 5 takeaways from his night with the press
President Donald Trump made history Friday night by attending and speaking at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner for the first time as president, delivering a 64-minute speech that mixed unity, humor and familiar jabs at the press.
