Trump praises Secret Service response after White House Correspondents’ dinner scare

President Donald Trump was rushed from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton after a gunman fired multiple shots near a security checkpoint, triggering panic inside the ballroom as guests, including journalists, took cover under tables.

“That was very unexpected but incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement,” the president told reporters shortly after 10:30 p.m. He called their speedy response “a very beautiful thing.”

Trump said that one officer was shot, but was protected by a “very good bulletproof vest.” He described the assailant as a “thug,” a “lone wolf” and a “whack job.”

The shooter was quickly subdued by authorities, though one United States Secret Service agent was reportedly shot, with their condition unclear.



Trump was evacuated alongside senior officials including JD Vance and Mike Johnson and suggested the event continue if deemed safe.

  1. Ok, who else smells yet another psyop? Tell me how the gun got past the security? Will Americans now have to hand in their guns??

    • The guy ran through the metal detectors at full speed, there’s cctv footage been released of it already. He was promptly chased down and stopped in his tracks (as could be expected).

      What a dumbass

    • You think the Trump admin paid a Kamala Harris supporter to run into the most secure building on earth with a gun and get shot at, arrested and locked away for many years of his life… and the Kamala Harris voter who hates Trump agreed to help them? You think they kept him alive and arrested him, knowing that he’s now a liability who could spill the beans at any time, instead of just outright killing him like they could have done?

      Sounds like the dumbest conspiracy ever.

  2. Hal Turner shows the shooter in an IDF sweatshirt.
    It’s Bibi’s message to Trump- ‘Do what I say, or I’ll off your ass!’
    Who knows how many suitcase nukes the Mossad has planted in major Western Cities as part of the ‘Samson Option’…
    After all, the bastards did 9-11…!
