This camera stayed locked on Donald Trump’s thunderous face as reporters who investigated his past ties with Jeffrey Epstein win a prize at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner
It’s fair to say that Donald Trump didn’t have a great 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
His bitter jokes bombed, and he had to sit there as the photographer who captured him doing nothing when an Oval Office guest fainted was praised by Wolf Blitzer.
But there was an even more incredible moment, as Blitzer presented a prize to the Wall Street Journal reporters who broke the story about Trump’s 2003 birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein.

And this camera angle just stays focused on Trump’s face as Blitzer reads the citation for the reporters’ prize.

Trump then went to shake hands with the reporters – and one journalist’s reaction to him was telling.

This hideous piece of shit of a human being sitting there smirking and shrugging his shoulders to his actions to a reporter reporting the truth of Epstein and Trump. It’s all a game to him. All of his lying, all his disinformation…a game.
He doesn’t give a f*ck about the damage… https://t.co/erH2pb9Vrg— Troy Westwood (@TroyWestwood) July 25, 2026

Can anyone please explain why journalists who won awards felt obliged to go up to Trump to receive handshakes and smile obsequiously? @ddiamond https://t.co/poVFRqeq67

Then those award winning so-called journalists from the Wall Street Journal, including Safdar, who had to move her family after being doxxed by Donald Trump, shuffled over to him and shook his hand while smiling.

The fact that he's laughing about something that made someone flee the safety of home just shows the sort of person that he is. It's an absolute disgrace that someone that could do something like that is the current President of the United States. The world is completely screwed

Trump had to sit there and watch all these honourable journalists being awarded honours, mostly for exposing his crimes. Beautiful to watch. https://t.co/j3ayPFhxSR

Did Wolf Blitzer seriously just pull the most insanely based move possible?
