    Knowing the person in question being supposedly targeted… by the end of next week they’ll claim no one had a gun.

    They'll release a name quickly, find out it's another ex-maga again, and never mention it again...

    But they'll likely use this as an excuse to keep him out of public eyesight. The timing right after he fell asleep on camera would make that even more suspect too if they start hiding him.

    He might not even make live appearances in the oval if he gets bad enough.

      • Donald Trump is rushed from the White House Correspondents' Dinner after suspected gunshots heard

      • Attendees of the dinner ducked under tables amid scenes of widespread confusion during the incident, our Washington correspondent reports from the event

      • A shooter has been taken into custody, Trump writes on Truth Social

      Story is developing in real time, check the actual link for more details, images and videos.


      EDIT:

      I flipped to CSPAN; apparently Trump is going to be doing a press conference at the White House in ~30 minutes, all cabinet members are uninjured, as well as seemingly all other guests, and the Correspondents' Dinner is going to be rescheduled within 30 days.


      EDIT 2, from the 'article':

      Still not clear what happened

      published at 20:48

      White House reporter, reporting from dinner


      We still have no official confirmation of what took place.

      But Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich, a member of the White House Correspondent's Association's board, posted on X that they've been told that an individual attempted to pass through metal detectors with a gun.

      President Trump, according to Heinrich, was held in a nearby room and wanted the dinner to continue, though he just posted on social media that law enforcement have asked him to leave.


      EDIT 3:

      Trump has posted a video and two pictures of the assailant to his Truth Social.

      Video (Seems like a smartphone aimed at security camera monitor):

      The man appears to have bum rushed through the metal detector area at a full sprint, but was stopped by a volley of shots from different security personnel.

      ... and apparently, according to Trump just now at the press conference, the guy shot one Secret Service agent, but he was wearing body armor, and is apparently not badly injured.

      This can be seen in the video, the srcurity guy center frame appears to be shot in the lower abdomen, then quickly draws his weapon and begins firing at the now out of frame assailant, who sprinted past.

      The shooting tonight at the Washington Hilton demonstrates the need to have a White House ballroom, President Trump tells reporters in the press briefing room.

      So he's taking this opportunity to whine about his ballroom. As one does. Perfectly normal. "An awful lot of Americans seem to want me dead, that's why I need a party fortress!"

      The WHCD is a private event, no affiliation with the government. It presumably would never happen at a White House ballroom.

          Get ready for a week of all the most insufferable liberals you know wringing their hands about how it’s SO UNCOUTH to be disappointed he didn’t bite it, while all Democratic elected officials fall all over themselves to announce that “political violence has no place” in your country 🙄

          Edit: oh, look, clown shit

          I swear to Christ you people deserve whatever you get.

          None of the liberals I know are doing this.

          Political leaders will because they don't like the idea of one of their own being assissinated.

              My guess, and this is a total guess, would be that if someone tried to go through metal detectors with a gun, and then it alarmed... my guess is all the shots that were heard would have been security turning that person into swiss cheese, before they got off a shot.

              ... If they were even going for their gun.

              We don't have anything approaching that level of detail or info yet though.

                Donald Trump is rushed from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after suspected gunshots heard

                But not rushed out, and instead lifted to face the crowd with fist raised after being shot at in Pennsylvania in 2024.

                Hmmm. I guess that means this shooter wasn't cleared with Secret Service first.

                  what social media

                  The place full of boys, paid shills, and bad faith "as a liberal" accounts?

                  Why would anyone care what they say?

                  Or divide the democratic party by calling them "liberals"?

                  Like, at best even if they're authentic, they're lying...

                  Don't let them call themselves that if they're not

                  Quick edit:

                  Hell, for the ones on TV and in office, we can keep calling them neoliberals even if they don't like it anymore

                  I'm old enough to remember libs complaining that a fascist got punched, and all the crying about not protesting correctly in 2020. In the Westwing-poisoned liberal mind, the best ideas always win in the market place of ideas, and any violence or even incivility is worse than being a literal nazi.

                            Wasn't it leaked in a memo that Trump was planning some kind of "confrontation" at the dinner?

                            Is anyone stupid enough to believe this asshole?

                              Sounds like a way for that shitgibbon to get out of having to socialize with people he doesn't respect. He wants smart people to like him, and only uses these dumb twats to stay in power. Staging ANOTHER fake shooting is on brand.

                                Subramanian says Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk who was shot and killed at an event last year, was also whisked away and was in tears

                                  My guess, and this is a total guess, would be that if someone tried to go through metal detectors with a gun, and then it alarmed... my guess is all the shots that were heard would have been security turning that person into swiss cheese, before they got off a shot.

                                  ... If they were even going for their gun.

                                  We don't have anything approaching that level of detail or info yet though.

                                        Subramanian says Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk who was shot and killed at an event last year, was also whisked away and was in tears

                                        Mysteriously, eye drops were found at her table.

                                          Story is developing in real time, check the actual link for more details, images and videos.


                                          EDIT:

                                          I flipped to CSPAN; apparently Trump is going to be doing a press conference at the White House in ~30 minutes, all cabinet members are uninjured, as well as seemingly all other guests, and the Correspondents' Dinner is going to be rescheduled within 30 days.


                                          EDIT 2, from the 'article':

                                          Still not clear what happened

                                          White House reporter, reporting from dinner


                                          We still have no official confirmation of what took place.

                                          But Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich, a member of the White House Correspondent's Association's board, posted on X that they've been told that an individual attempted to pass through metal detectors with a gun.

                                          President Trump, according to Heinrich, was held in a nearby room and wanted the dinner to continue, though he just posted on social media that law enforcement have asked him to leave.


                                          EDIT 3:

                                          Trump has posted a video and two pictures of the assailant to his Truth Social.

                                          Video (Seems like a smartphone aimed at security camera monitor):

                                          The man appears to have bum rushed through the metal detector area at a full sprint, but was stopped by a volley of shots from different security personnel.

                                          ... and apparently, according to Trump just now at the press conference, the guy shot one Secret Service agent, but he was wearing body armor, and is apparently not badly injured.

                                          This can be seen in the video, the srcurity guy center frame appears to be shot in the lower abdomen, then quickly draws his weapon and begins firing at the now out of frame assailant, who sprinted past.

                                          Let's compare and contrast his reactions and comments to a real assassination attempt Vs the staged one.
