BREAKING: Shots were fired tonight at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. President Trump and other attendees were safely evacuated.
Political violence has no place in our democracy.
This has video of the moment they rushed Trump off stage. But again, it now seems that whatever happened, happened outside the ballroom. President, cabinet, and others seem safe. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
A few minutes ago, on the NYT live blog updates page:
This was "a shooting incident near the main
magnetometer screening area." Not *inside* the ballroom.

Trump had planned to lambast the press and then storm out so he didn't have to hear anyone lambast him in return. An insider leaked that plan. My first thought about this news? New plan. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
"...Trump said this was “not a particularly secure building.” He then said that the episode underscored why the White House needed beefed-up security and its own ballroom..." Ah, it all makes sense now. /s

Here's the best photo from the WHCD/assassination (?) attention tonight. It was captioned simply "Workers outside of the hotel" and I adore the utter dontgiveafuckness of it. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/25/us/trump-correspondents-dinner-shooting?smid=nytcore-ios-share
It is not lost on me that tonight's WHCD is at the same hotel where White House Press Secretary Jim Brady was shot in the attempted assassination of President Reagan. Until recently, Reagan was the last president to be shot in an assassination attempt.

Live Updates: Suspect Detained After Gunfire Near Dinner Attended by Trump.
Secret Service officers at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner rushed the president out of the Washington Hilton. The F.B.I. said a suspect was in custody.
@nytimes.com
Between the Midtown Manhattan Hilton of Luigi Mangione fame and Saturday night's Washington Hilton news, Hiltons I've stayed at for conferences are having a weird moment.

We are again making history as a nation. A gunman fires shots at a presidential appearance, and the overwhelming reaction is to assume that it is staged. The president then gives a presser, and people change the channel because they just don't care.
Well done, MAGA. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
What’s the trend?
People keep getting into Trump locations without being observed with guns or at least security searches?
Who loses their job or will it be completely ignored and nothing to see here because the “diversion” has occurred?
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
Sooo he chickened out. 🤔 That tracks. I love that the “loud bangs” were immediately identified as “gunshots”. These Republicans make a lot of big “leaps” & they lie. This is a less well done Butlers, PA con. He’s exhausting his playbook.
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
At this point he's lied about so many things and staged so many events, I don't know what to think.

If he was actually in danger, they wouldn't have let him come back after a few minutes. "The event resumed after a brief disturbance, and Mr. Trump wanted to return to finish his remarks, according to a senior administration official." As real as Butler.
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
SO MANY THOUGHTS; none are good. Call it trust issues
1. Wolf ticket
2. False Flag
3. Set-up (BUTLER anyone?)
4. NO ONE should've gone with how P3D0-in-CHIEF treats FEMALE REPORTERS
5. FOTUS posted "the show must go on"
CAN WE HAVE 1 DAY without this FVCKN ASSHOLE?

Political violence has no place in our country. I am grateful for the swift action of law enforcement at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. As we await more information, I’m relieved to hear that everyone is safe. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
Is anyone going to suggest that the audience should have been armed to prevent this? Or is it fewer guns around the Epstein class, more guns around everyone else?

How come I’m having a hard time believing this?
I dunno, but maybe it's a bad idea to have the POTUS and VPOTUS and half of the folks in the presidential succession queue in the same place at the same time

Trump Describes Gunman’s Attack at Washington Hotel www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04... Fake news. Until this administration can explain why Trump’s ear grew back, I will never believe anything they say or do.
This was staged.
Hey Melania look surprised - OK then at least try to look surprised and then hide under the table while everyone forgets you are there…
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...
This looks consistent with Trump’s strategy of ‘doubling down’. It happens in the same week that prominent MAGA figures made go viral a ‘theory’ about a possible fake assassination attempt during rally in PA in 2024.

'Melania' dives under the table. Secret service hustles Trump out. It didn't look like SS grabbed Melania. Or was it stand-in Melania so they didn't care? 🤔
Also still no gun control, right? Guy flies across the country, I'm assuming he didn't fly with a gun...

So much of what Trump says and does is lies, and it’s so hard to know what is real with what the media says!
So it’s hard to know what the truth is about anything.
Take this whole mess with a grain of salt.
"...Trump said this was “not a particularly secure building.” He then said that the episode underscored why the White House needed beefed-up security and its own ballroom..."
Worth noting that even if the conspiracy theories swirling around rn aren't true, the regime will use it for its agenda.

For the record, and just like all shooters in America, the republican party did everything they could to ensure that this man had access to a gun.
