Trump's Self-Deprecating Jokes and Controversial Remarks at White House Correspondents' Dinner
U.S.President Donald Trump made light of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.Kennedy Jr.'s unusual interactions with animals during his speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner on July 24, 2026.
The event, originally postponed from April due to a security incident involving a man firing a shotgun, became a platform for Trump's comedic jabs.
Kennedy, known for handling snakes and other animals in viral videos, was mocked for his alleged habit of 'running over cows' during a joke about beef tenderloin.
Trump quipped that Kennedy 'cut it up' and brought the meat to the dinner, adding that the Cabinet member suggested an appetizer featuring raccoon roadkill—a proposal rejected by the event organizers.
