White House Correspondents' Dinner 2025: No Trump, No Jokes, No… | US | Washington | WATCH

The White House Correspondents' Dinner this year was missing key figures and moments, marking an offbeat, lackluster evening.

President Trump, who skipped the event as usual, left no surprise.

But the true shock came when comedian Amber Ruffin, the originally planned entertainer, was fired after sharp political commentary, leaving the dinner without its comedic edge.

The event, once a venue for bold speeches and satire, became a more somber affair, with journalists recognizing each other's work in a vacuum, devoid of the critical jabs and humor that once defined it.
