At the Waldorf, with a far-smaller crowd, and of course had to endure, and smell, you-know-who, though enough of his jokes connected.  I feel deeply bad for association head Weijia Jiang.

I don't feel bad for anyone still affiliated with the WHCA. Trump called reporters "the enemy of the people". Journalists at home and abroad have been killed as a direct consequence of this administration. Nobody in attendance at that dinner yesterday is a journalist.
