Trump Promises Softer Speech at Rescheduled WHCA Dinner After April Gunman Attack

Summary
Trump said he will deliver a more muted speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, backing away from plans to "rip the media" in his original remarks.
April’s gala was canceled after a gunman stormed the event, turning what is usually a combative but ceremonial Washington gathering into a security crisis.
The makeup dinner now returns under that shadow, with Trump signaling a toned-down appearance rather than the sharper media attack he had prepared before the disruption.
