President Donald Trump said on Monday that he was accepting an invitation to appear at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, adding that his appearance would certainly make the annual event the “GREATEST, HOTTEST” one to date. Trump made the announcement via his Truth Social platform, saying that it was nice to finally see members of the usually-combative press acknowledge him as “truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T.” “The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge,” Trump began, saying that he’d accepted in part because he wanted to be there because 2026 will be the year the United States celebrates its 250th birthday as a nation. “It will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!” he continued. Trump went on to explain that he only skipped the event in years past because he had been so unfairly treated by most in the press. “Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree,” he said, adding, “However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” Trump boycotted the event for the entirety of his first term as president — and the first year of his second term — largely because of his often contentious relationship with most of the legacy press. CBS News senior White House correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents Association Weijia Jiang said that she’s glad Trump has agreed to attend the dinner. “For more than 100 years, the journalists of the White House Correspondents’ Association have enjoyed an evening with the president,” she said. “We’re happy the president has accepted our invitation and look forward to hosting him.”

Since Tom Holland and Zendaya confirmed their engagement in early 2025, fans have been waiting, dying to hear about wedding plans. The pair have remained tight-lipped, not unlike many celebrity couples. Not everyone wants every detail of their private life shared with the entire world, which we totally respect. Some couples opt to elope or have secret ceremonies to keep the day special. It appears Tom and Zendaya might just be one of these couples. A source close to the couple claimed they have already been tied. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Access Hollywood (@accesshollywood) Zendaya’s Stylist Claims She and Tom Holland Are Already Married “The wedding has already happened. You missed it. It’s very true,” Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, told Access Hollywood on the red carpet. The news flabbergasted the host, but Law just walked off with a smile. We can totally see Zendaya and Tom Holland having a private wedding, but the way Law shared the news was unexpected. Fans loved this for the couple. “One thing I love about Z is that she’s not afraid to keep stuff private,” someone wrote. “I’m so happy for them they could get a personal space in this century. Congratulations,” another person shared. “It’s best they have their private wedding. It’s the new things, and I love it for them! No one in their life’s but them. Perfect,” a comment reads. Some fans felt like Zendaya gave clues about her marriage to Tom Holland a while back. “She recently started wearing a gold band instead of her engagement ring so this tracks. I’m happy they got to have privacy!” A fan wrote. “We already heard lol I mean I had heard that they married privately a couple of months ago. Good for them,” another fan agreed.

These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution," reads a statement from U.S. Central Command.The LUCAS drone was developed by Arizona-based SpektreWorks and costs about $35,000 each, which is significantly less than other options.The use of the Iranian Shahed suicide drones by Russia against Ukraine is one of the many reasons Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy endorsed the U.S.-led strike against Iran.He also warned that the U.S. must act decisively against Iran or risk depleting military supplies."It is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran," Zelenskyy said."It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is acting decisively," he added.RELATED: Poll: GOP voters' lukewarm support for Iran strikes significantly lower than past conflicts Zelenskyy said Russia fired over 57,000 Shahed-style drones into Ukraine.Trump also refused to rule out the possibility of U.S. troops on the ground in Iran."I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, 'There will be no boots on the ground.'
