On September 11, 2025, in Arlington, VA, President Donald Trump hosted a memorial event at the Pentagon in remembrance of the 9/11 terror attacks. During this event, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith faced criticism for attending a White House dinner with Trump just a few months earlier. On Wednesday, Smith revealed that the dinner was not all friendly.
During an appearance on The View, Smith explained that he challenged Trump on his foreign policy record, including the wars the U.S. has been involved in and the economy. Trump responded by insisting he is "the greatest president who's ever lived."
