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?
Come on… I agree that it’s possible, maybe even plausible, that this was staged, but you can’t honestly claim to be sceptical if you think the most likely situation here was that this was staged when you have no hard evidence at all. I’m not saying it wasn’t staged, I’m saying that the sceptical approach is to recognise that anything coming out of the White House is a half-truth at best, that there is exists a motive for staging this, and that it could be staged. At this point we have nowhere near enough evidence to conclude either way.
Besides, there are plenty of people that want trump dead. I don’t see it as unlikely that one of them decided to give it a shot here.
I see people like the one you replied to as taking it a step further than “thinking” a flimsy story is true. They literally act like they “know” it’s true and anyone who doesn’t is a sheep. They’re stupider than maga, to be honest
