The Iranian LEGO® video of the Correspondents' Dinner is gonna be lit af.

If you want people to take this assassination attempt seriously, the first thing you need to do is treat this WHPC shooting like a legitimate crime scene. Instead, they're treating it like it was the live featured performance at their local dinner theater.

Rather than be embroiled in arguments abt the ballroom, let’s give the Trumpian response: “it’s one of the risks of the job” and let it go at that. It’s what they tell parents abt sending kids to schools where they may be massacred. It’s what Trump told parents of fallen soldiers.

In case your attention has wandered; Donald Trump, the current President Of The United States Of America, is reported to have raped and beaten a 13 year old child. He sues everyone for 'fake news', but has never claimed a suit contesting this. Maybe because he fears discovery?

If a Razzie Award were a person...

Oh look. Another shooter going after Donald Trump. Presumably. Maybe. Still not going to forget about the Epstein Files.

feel the urge to post this for some reason…

So the mentalist the WHCA hired didn’t see this coming? They ought to get a refund.

Just came online and saw the news. I knew DC's political and media classes were throwing a gross party for themselves tonight in the midst of us losing a war—and our democracy—and our economy slowly collapsing, but I didn't think it'd turn into a metaphor. Glad no one was hurt.

Looks like Melania has seen a ghost!

Symone Sanders giving a pretty damning account of the lack of security outside and inside hotel before the incident, which she says was far more lax than she has previously experienced at this same event.

As we go towards coal, oil, and huge pollutants, the rest of the world becomes energy-savvy, independent and better for their own citizens America First 😂 is actually America, the backwards laughingstock of the world

A definite possibility… 🤭

So, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff was the one who tried to start the USA chant? Imagine that. Shots fired! Get down! And the White House Deputy Chief of Staff is trying to start the USA chant. Just like Butler. Because when shots are fired, that’s the first thing out of my mind and mouth!

We’re very sorry to hear about the President’s current troubles. We offer our thoughts and prayers for the entire Trump administration during this difficult period. Now is not the right time to have a policy debate, so let’s not politicize the issue.

The WHCD gunman went to Caltech, so it's inevitable that the "staged shooting" conspiracy theory and the "missing scientists" conspiracy theory are going to link up.

This is why it's okay to just sit for a moment and wait for more details. "He couldn't have been a shooter! He went to Cal Tech!"

A Lot to be Suspicious of Again…. In case anyone was wondering why President Trump would attend his first-ever White House Correspondents' dinner, now we know.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

The WHCA dinner was a publicity stunt. No raspberry jam was used this time, though.

"Behold The Ridiculous, Unbearable, God-Awful Trauma Theater in the Aftermath of The WHCD Shooting" I share some thoughts, and, yes, I look forward to pissing off all the right people. thelefthook.substack.com/p/behold-the...

Trump’s speech after the shooting is stranger than the shooting. He’s honored to be the target of assassination? The ballroom is needed for this exact reason? Just weird all around.

So much is wrong with this picture.

Nope. Don't believe it for one second. There is no way an armed suspect is staying alive after charging a security check-point at the White House. This screams "False Flag" news.sky.com/story/trump-...

The Epstein Files were not harmed in tonight's staged theatrical event.

He’s literally falling asleep while J. Edgar Boozer is talking about his *assassination attempt*

donald j trump decrying "thugs" who "attack the constitution" lol

Trump either knew it was a false flag or has no idea where he is. Not mutually exclusive.

For every other president in American history who survived an assassination attempt or was assassinated, the country responded with collective shock and grief, regardless of political party. With Trump, we just assume it’s staged.

The fact that people try to shoot Trump or any politician is not evidence that they stand for anything of value. Voters fell under the spell of a bizarre hypnotism in 2024 following Butler and now we’re enduring the consequences.

Every school in America is going to need to build a ballroom.

The presser would have been a good time to ask him about the Epstein files.

Trump also used the shooting to promote his plans for a new White House ballroom, saying it will be “drone proof” with “bulletproof glass.” “That’s why the military are demanding it,” Trump said.

My uber driver today told me he voted for Trump both times, and deeply regrets it. He says the one thing that changed him was the treatment of Zelensky when he visited. He said nothing else has ever made him so ashamed to be an American, and it made him furious. Hell yeah.

Coverage of tonight's events should show us just how broken the media is. Some horribly irresponsible reporting before any of the facts were released.

He's milking this situation to the hilt. In his mind the show is still going on.

I’m at an NBA playoff game tonight and will not be covering Trump’s post-gunman press conference, which I’m sure will be deeply unsettling and weird. Congrats, America.

Reminder: Israel bulldozed the Gaza War Cemetery in Al-Tuffah, Gaza City, destroying graves of British, Australian, and other allied soldiers from World War I and II. The war cemetery had been cared for by a Palestinian family for several generations. #AnzacDay #LestWeForget #FreePalestine #auspol

Remember with all the drama around the shooter at the WHCD, this administration has a habit of giving out false, inflammatory, hyperbolic information devoid of truth. It’s gonna take a few days before the actual truth comes out.

well now what's to become of those 300 happy meals

Shots fired, the Secret Service rushes in, and they let Trump continue to sit there? And now they’re going to resume the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Trump still plans to deliver a speech? I’m not saying this was staged to boost Trump’s tanking approval numbers, but it looks odd.

Sorry trump, you already used the fake assassination plot twice already. No one believes you now.

Even after the events of tonight, Trump is still a pedophile.

Donald Trump, "Nobody thanks us, they all think we're stupid." I think this is one thing we can all agree with Trump on.

I'm sorry but I think it's kind of funny that we've all reached "Yeah I guess someone tried to get him again whatever"

Imagine being such an unlikable person that the Secret Service rescues your Vice President, the charmless JD Vance, before bothering to get you out of harm's way at the WHCA Dinner.

See how scared he was when he thought it wasn’t staged?
