Take a look at the comments section - *all* the top recommended comments are conspiracy theories about the shooting being staged. At The Atlantic, no less.
This is what we have become as a society and it is truly disheartening.

Also wild for him to remind us of Kash Patel's $250m defamation suit against The Atlantic, who was eating "spring-pea-and-burrata salads" at the WHCA dinner.
This is how I learned that @theatlanticpr.bsky.social had a whole contingent of attendees. That's rather disappointing.
And a little first hand account.

Trump doesn't get to schedule or reschedule the WHCD. It's put on by the White House Correspondents Association. He never attended before as POTUS. No other President has been threatened at this annual event. No other President has wanted a ballroom.

Once "under the table" at an event meant a reporter went down drinking. Now it's cowering beneath a table as a plan goes south to trade jokes with the slavering ghouls who accidentally included you in a Signal chat about bombing an apartment block in Yemen www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The president is safe after chaos at the Washington Hilton, and a suspect is reportedly in custody.
Three Atlantic journos tell us all about the big, fake, please-like-me-again, "shooting".
ALL of these stories describe how #ThatAsshole was "grazed by a bullet" in Butler.

👉THIS WAS ALL FAKED FOR THE CAMERAS.

What a clueless fool trump is - "...he said that he “fought like hell” to continue with the program. But his security personnel convinced him that it wasn’t safe, and his staff told him that his jokes might not land in the aftermath of the shooting." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Elementary school children all across the country are forced to practice active shooter drills because of the inaction of a lot of these same people.
I have zero sympathy for the Washington elite. (Gift article)

"It was the same hotel outside of which President Ronald Reagan was shot and injured in 1981. From then on, Washingtonians have known the sprawling building as the “Hinckley Hilton,” after the shooter John Hinckley Jr." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Another staged assassination attempt -
A reason to build the Big Beautiful Ballroom?
"Trump sat onstage for several seconds after the shots, watching people hit the floor before he was swarmed by his heavily armed security."
