President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after multiple gunshots were heard in the ballroom.

One officer was shot, but he was “saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest,” Trump later told reporters at the White House.

The suspected shooter was identified later Saturday as Cole Allen of Torrance, California, a former senior law enforcement official briefed on the matter told MS NOW.

I’m betting this was all staged. Either that or Iran is trying to get him.

*Edit: Alternative Idea – what if this was one of his cultists who came to kill off the “fake news” media?

    I find starting wars and raping kids disheartening. I find it equally disheartening that it’s plausible someone would try to take attention away from those things by stirring up some shit.

        Yeah, dunno what you are talking about, but I just can’t help but feel skeptical at this point, but I suppose it’s totally acceptable to not feel skeptical as well.

          Skeptical means you haven’t reached a conclusion. Apparently I’m an idiot and a sheep for not reaching a conclusion. It’s the people who have done so who are the real skeptics!
