The White House Correspondents’ dinner is a yearly tradition stretching back over a century, yet this year’s host could perhaps prove controversial as many users of gay hookup app Grindr have opposed the association.

Beginning all the way back in 1921, the White House Correspondents’ dinner, organized and operated by the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) is a joining of journalists covering politics in the United States and some of the current administration’s leading officals.

It’s often attended by the president, and frequently features segments where the head of state mocks themselves, yet the host for this year’s edition could perhaps spark debate and division among members of the LGBTQ community.

As reported by The Hill, gay hookup app Grindr is, for the first time ever, hosting a WHCA dinner party on April 25, which also marks the first time that President Donald Trump will be in attendance across both of his terms.

Trump was notably the only president since the dinner’s creation to not attend a single event, having skipped every one during his first term, yet he announced last month on Truth Social that he would be bucking the trend by showing face this year.

    Trump is probably bi. No joke, just a fact. We know from the Epstein emails that he ‘blew Bubba’. While we don’t know exactly who that is, it paints a certain picture.

    Let me get this straight…trump NEVER attends these dinners. Yet now that Grindr is involved, he’s going to attend?

    This sucks. I want to mock trump for his beliefs, but I don’t want to mock any actual gay people for their beliefs.

    I feel like there’s a joke there somewhere that only attacks trump. C’mon guys, all the parts are there. Lets construct this thing.

      Bro is exterminating LGBTQ while sucking on boba, the sheer hypocricy, the sheer insanity.

      Whoever is running our simulation, got bored as fuck, is now creating satire.

      I don’t understand what someone’s sexuality has to do with whether or not you can mock them for being Trump supporters. IDC who you fuck, or who fucks you, a Trump supporter is a Trump supporter.

      Mocking gay people for being gay is not cool. Mocking gay people for being a Trump supporter is completely indistinguishable from mocking any other Trump supporter.

      Gay dude here. I don’t speak for all the gays but if you mock LGBTQ+ people for supporting Trump, that’s perfectly fine. Only idiots are LGBTQ+ and vote conservative.

      Tear them a new arsehole. They’ll probably even enjoy that; more holes for their favourite pedo government to fuck them in.

      He’s doing this because his polls are truly tanking. He needs as many of the LGBTQ+ community to fall for his con once again.

        Gee, I wonder why the pedophile warmonger who’s responsible for past and future price increases wouldn’t be popular…

      Gay people are just as capable of being massive pieces of shit as anyone else is.

      Trump is throwing his own debutant ball.

      It looks like he’s searching for Melania’s replacement. I wonder if he’ll wear a dress.

        …sunshine is gay? Now hold on. I thought you guys had the rainbow. Now you have photosynthesis too???

        Ironically enough, if there was a symbol for straight guys, it would probably be a flag of a penis.

      Apparently Unilad couldn’t even copy The Hill’s homework correctly.

      Somehow they reworded “White House Correspondents’ dinner Weekend Party” as “White House Dinner Correspondents Party”.

    I would give just about anything for the chance to roast that child-raping traitor right to his face.
