Politics: Gridiron Dinner, Trump, Musk, Russia, Moore in WordPress tags format.
In March 2025, President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Russian President Vladimir Putin all appeared at the Gridiron Dinner in Washington, D.C. organised by the Gridiron Club, an organisation of Washington-based media professionals. Trump took the opportunity to joke about his rare courting of the press and noted that there’s energy in the room because “we’re finally beginning to understand how much Russian collusion took place during the 2016 election campaign.” Putin fired back with a quip, saying, “If it weren’t for all the collusion, Mr. President, all of you would still be working for the newspapers.” Musk, meanwhile, spoke out against journalists taking credit for investigative reporting while not revealing sources. The conversation also turned to Roy S. Moore, the former Alabama chief justice attempting to return to office despite allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump said, “Roy Moore still has the endorsement of a majority of the Republican Party in Alabama. We’ve looked at the allegations, and they don’t hold up,” while Putin criticised the media for attempting to sway voters in favour of Moore’s opponent, Democrat Doug Jones, during the December special election in Alabama.
