President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been rescheduled and relocated to a more secure hotel property, which his company used to manage.

In April, the event at the Washington Hilton was cut short when a gunman, whom police have identified as 31-year-oldCole Allen, charged a security checkpoint. He was charged with attempting to assassinate the president, assaulting a federal law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon, and two firearms offenses,CBS Newsreported.

Trump posted on Truth Social regarding the event’s new time and place, “In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th.”

“This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted,” he continued.

“I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a ‘HOT’ ticket! Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built,” Trump concluded.
