Trump evacuated after security incident at White House correspondents dinner; no sign of injuries

The Hilton again? Same hotel where Reagan was shot? If this was John Hinkley again, that parole board is really going to have egg on its face.

There will be an arrest next week for someone who made $500K on this.

> “Out of the way, sir!” someone yelled. Others yelled to duck. From one corner, a “God Bless America” chant began as Trump was escorted off stage. This shit just sounds like a made up 'and then everyone clapped' moment

Let’s look at the bets on polymarket!

Why is this event being so under-reported? Why are there no details? This place was full of f****** journalists for f*** sakes. This may be the most bizarre "security event" I've ever heard of.

Shots ARE usually fired at the correspondents dinner, but not quite like this...

There’s so many weird details here. 1: Wolf Blitzer said the guy was “shooting randomly.” 2: Other journalists said they heard chanting of “USA.” 3: It took like a full minute after the shots for Trump to be moved off stage (which they did incredibly slowly, although to be fair, the guy can’t really move fast). 4: Neither he nor any of the other people at his table even reacted to the gunfire when it happened. You can see it in the video, they didn’t even blink. 5: No reports of deaths or injuries (yet) and they’ve already confirmed they’re gonna continue the dinner. Some Fox reporter is saying the shooter’s firearm was detected when they passed through the magnetometer, which is when they began shooting. So were they planning to assassinate Trump? This was INCREDIBLY poorly planned if that was their goal. It just makes no sense. Edit: Audio of the shots is admittedly a little harder to hear than it initially sounded to me, so I can see why they might not have reacted immediately. Also, the dinner is actually postponed, to be resumed sometime in the next month. Curious to see if Trump uses this as an excuse to avoid it. I completely forgot but the correspondents dinner is where [Obama roasted Trump](https://youtu.be/SLgYBONsxGk?si=g2wMY9QrYXPTBGCV) to his face that one time, so he obviously hates going lol

How often did things like this happen with past presidents. Not often?

Can’t wait for all the posts about how it was a former Biden staffer who is trans and an illegal immigrant. And then of course radio silence once we get more information.

He's never once attended a WHCA dinner \[edit: as president; he attended ~~once~~ twice as a private citizen\], and the first time he claims he's going to, he gets whisked away by security. Nobody's ever going to prove it was all planned (barring a leak to the press), but it's going to take a lot to convince me it wasn't. \[Edit 2: They were going to restart the festivities once the SS and other authorities did their thing, but the event was cancelled after all. So it looks like Trump got what he wanted again.\]

Did they lower the flag and have everyone pose for a photo shoot? EDIT for Trumpies screaming conspiracy: search "Trump ear vs Evander ear" and good luck with your delusions :)

Someone shit his pants again.

The part of this no one will ever cover or admit is that the FBI plays a pretty big part in assisting the Secret Service. With the FBI leadership being what it is the Secret Service is less and less capable of doing its job. Now maybe it's all staged or whatever but the real observation is letting incompetent lackies run everything and fire all the competent people has knock down consequences.

Not saying this is fake, but putting on an "I survived another assassination" skit in front of the press corps is exactly the sort of stupid idea this f****** dipshit would come up with

Wait? They rushed him out? They didn't hold him upright for two minutes, move a flag into position, move photographers into position, then gently e***** him off stage?

It's funny - when I heard this morning he was attending, I thought "I wonder what spectacle he's going to stage." Looks like I got my answer.

In the meantime, I cooked a really great steak tonight and I paired it with some roasted red potatoes and some fresh green beans. It was quite delicious.

I don't care. Please put the wolves game back on ABC

This will go over well

Heeeey!! You morons forgot the Moment where the Flag behind him gets lowered, photographers get sneaked in and he raises the Fist in the Air!!! Oh, you thought its for real this time?

I think someone should be looking into the quality of American shooting ranges since no one seems to be able to hit anything

Reporting is fluid right now, shooter dead in the lobby. If true, huge security flub.

Thus never happened under Biden or Obama.

His ego was going to get injured. Preemptive move.

Release all of the Epstein files with proper redactions, not just the ones handpicked by trump and bondi. trump has raped women (courts verified), abused and now killed 160+ children. Him and his goons need leave and be held accountable. These fools are criminals and this is just another distraction and stupid low-level gag that has trumps micro fingers all over it. These goons need to leave the Whitehouse and my weekend F'ing alone.

Wow. He’ll do anything to avoid hearing a joke about himself.

Nothing like his press secretary telling everyone to watch him that night because 'shots will be fired'. Of course, what a coincidence of speech. Reeks of the last shooting when Fox was pumping everyone and saying they had to watch their live telecast of that boring random rally. By the way...highly amusing when they scrambled the VP and left Trump sitting there. Even more amusing was watching the First Lady as she scrambled around because apparently she wasn't worth saving. Acting...100% B grade movie.
