The White House Correspondents’ Association just canceled their big comedy act for this year’s dinner, and it’s all because of some tension with President Donald Trump. The comedian they picked, Amber Ruffin, was supposed to headline the event on April 26. But now, she’s out. Why? Well, Amber Ruffin has made fun of Trump before, even saying nobody would want to go to the dinner with him there. That didn’t sit well with the White House.

A guy from the White House called it a weak move to drop Amber Ruffin. He wasn’t happy about her being chosen in the first place, since she’s been pretty loud about not liking Trump. The dinner usually has a comedian who pokes fun at the president, no matter who’s in charge. But this time, the White House Correspondents’ Association said, “Nope, no comedy this year.” Their leader, Eugene Daniels, told everyone in an email that they want to keep the focus on honoring journalists and helping young reporters, not on picking fights.
Trump’s team has been clashing with the group for a while now. Since he came back as president in January, things have been messy. Back in February, Trump took away the group’s power to decide which reporters get to cover him up close—like in the Oval Office or on Air Force One. He bragged that he’s the one in charge of who gets access now. The White House Correspondents’ Association wasn’t happy about that. They said it’s hurting the freedom of the press, which is a big deal in America.

Things got even weirder when the White House banned some reporters from the Associated Press. Why? Because they wouldn’t call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” like Trump wants. The Associated Press is fighting back, saying this ban breaks the rules about free speech and press freedom in the Constitution.
So, with all this drama, Amber Ruffin won’t be cracking jokes at the dinner. The White House called it a “cop out,” but the Correspondents’ Association is sticking to their plan. They’ll share more details as the event gets closer. For now, it’s clear that Amber Ruffin and Trump aren’t exactly on the same page, and it’s shaking things up big time.
