Over 200 journalists signed a letter demanding that the White House Correspondents' Association confront President Trump over perceived attacks on press freedom. Despite the tension, the event proceeded as an awards ceremony focused on the First Amendment and journalism scholarships. Critics on "The View" argued that Trump should not have been invited, labeling him a threat to the free press.

The 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner is critiqued as an anachronistic event that no longer serves its original purpose of fostering a relationship between the President and the press. During the ceremony, various journalists were honored, including an activist who gave a speech about her work in Egypt. Her claims regarding saving children from abuse in Cairo are met with skepticism and confusion regarding the appropriateness of the venue for such remarks.
