Summary
The Washington press corps broke a 140-year tradition at the annual Gridiron Club dinner by refusing to toast Trump, instead raising glasses to the First Amendment.
Trump, Vance, and key White House officials skipped the event, with one official saying they were “busy working or just don’t care to be recognized by that crowd.”
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore mocked Trump’s alleged ties to Russia, prompting Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll to walk out.
The evening concluded with clips from past Republican presidents, highlighting how Trump’s relationship with the press has deteriorated since 2018.
It seems the press has auction paddles as well.

Yes that’s today. So?
Yes, it is fresh news and I’m happy about that. But i could not see it in the post so i looked it up and wrote that comment.
More of this, please.
Headline is a little misleading. They only snubbed him because he didn’t even show up to the event.
You are allowed to toast people who aren’t present, you know that, right?
