Surely he's not pulling this trick again?

What do you mean by "pulling this trick again?"

Imo he's always being targeted when he is getting bad press.

Being reported live on Sky news.

The miraculous regrowing ear?

More likely to be a disgruntled person than a trick. He's upset so many people and Americans are known to be a bit trigger happy.

Reported just now that there is a shooter in custody.(Not confirmed say BBC world service)

mumofoneAloneandwell · Yesterday 02:03

Isnt this the third time this has happened? I recall a similar foiled shooting

Do you really think so?

Every trick in the book springs to mind.

Again, they failed to protect him in good time. Apart from one guy standing in front of him
He was not put on the floor quick enough at all

Secret service shoot dead gunman in hoyel lobby according to Telegram

LoveheartBear · Yesterday 02:13

I’ve been reading about this. I admit, I also have my suspicions. How did the gun get through security?

Its just ... A LOT of men, kind of chaotic

But that's probably the norm in these circumstances - they've probably not had this much work before

That's not written by Trump. Far too coherent. Must be a staff member.

lobeydosser · Yesterday 02:27

The White House Press Sec Karoline Leavitt was at the dinner. Just off on mat leave - trust the shock doesn't send her into premature labour.

montysmaw · Yesterday 02:28

For god sake, are there no competent assassins these days?

canuckup · Yesterday 02:29

Exactly, Monty

They seem to have a crap aim

Momtotwokids · Yesterday 02:32

I wonder how all of you would feel if your king, queen, prince of Wales, or prime minister was shot at. A man died in Pennsylvania, it wasn't pretend or a joke.

Its not a joke.
But he has ALOT of haters.
AND he wasnt shot at tonight

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · Yesterday 02:35

Not again! Funny that this is the first WH Correspondents Dinner he has attended and someone allegedly tries to shoot him again.

War not going so well so he’s trying to curry favour again. It worked during the campaign, I guess.

Although seeing all those delegates at the RNC wearing sanitary towels on their ears was comedy gold,

He deserves whatever justice he gets in whatever form it takes. I’m an American and he’s destroyed my country.
