Hope your OH will rally with a good sleep and some home cooking.

He was rushed off the stage at the Correspondents Dinner tonight due to shots being fired. It seems that the shots fired were in the lobby. I have yet to ascertain if he was being targeted or not.

MAGA has started to believe that the Pennsylvania ear shot was a hoax, so people are skeptical now..

The shooter has been killed and Trump is fine. Thankfully we are going to get a press conference. hmm

No one knows what is happening and there are videos everywhere. Now reports are saying the shooter is in custody. All we know for sure is that shots were fired in the lobby of the building where the Press Corps dinner was being held. Trump was on stage. All of the stooges were there. Trump was rushed off stage and returned to the White House. No one knows yet if the shooter is dead or in custody.

I am sure what we hear from Trump will not contain all the facts, so I am going to wait until we start hearing from the press corps. It is verystrange that someone with a gun got that close to the dinner. It is very convenient that Trump can now claim his life is in danger to move up his ballroom. It is very odd that Karoline Levitt said "there will be shots fired tonight" in an interview before the dinner started. Though I do believe this is likely a coincidence.

Ok. I finally found a good feed. Secret Service agent was shot, the bullet hit his vest. He was taken to the hospital but will survive. The shooter is in custody.

I can not for the life of me understand how a gunman got that close to the United States entire chain of command all in one room. Almost every single one of these people were in one room together tonight. How did a gunman get so close to these people? confused

imaround either the security services are useless or this is another stunt by Trump to take focus off the mess he has made. I don't believe the ear stunt either.

My thoughts exactly.

Both are correct. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Let's hope security protects the king properly.

Grandmabatty Sun 26-Apr-26 08:25:50

The sad thing is, it may be true but I wouldn't believe him because of his past actions and grandiose words. I'm more inclined to agreeing with those who think it's a stunt. Hes such a horrible man

Which two of the three things mentioned are, in your opinion, correct?

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 26-Apr-26 08:29:58

I agree Grandmabatty. Mr Trump is the Boy Who Cried Wolf personified.
It may, if course, be completely true. However, would I put it past Mr Trump and his sycophants to put people at risk as part of a strange game? No, I would not.

Smileless2012 Sun 26-Apr-26 08:36:21

I don't believe this was a genuine attempt and have always had my doubts about the 'ear stunt'.

Basgetti Sun 26-Apr-26 09:33:03

Another very good reason to advise the King not to travel to the US.

JenniferEccles Sun 26-Apr-26 10:28:16

I really think some of you are allowing your intense dislike of Donald Trump to cloud your judgement.
A hoax, along with the near miss with his ear, both a hoax by Trump himself?
Honestly? Think about it.
Just how many people do you think would have to be in on this ‘hoax’

The hotel staff for this latest one, security, hospitals, all played their part just because in your views Trump fancied staging a scam.
Really?!

We have been here before though. I remember how some on here were of the view that Boris Johnson hadn’t really been seriously ill with Covid back in early 2020.
He was fighting for his life in intensive care in a top London hospital but according to some posters, that was all a hoax too, with of course all the medics involved in his care were in on it too?

Smileless2012 Sun 26-Apr-26 10:38:34

The only people who'd have had to have been 'in on it' apart from Trump and the 'assassin' were the security staff in the hotel foyer.

I don't think for one moment that Trump would care about anyone believing this to have been real and terrified, including his own wife, because the fewer in the know, the more genuine the charade would look.

Casdon Sun 26-Apr-26 11:45:40

The credibility gap Trump has created between the real story and his interpretation on so many occasions is what’s caused people to think this attempt was a set up. He has become his own worst enemy.

He's not easy to like, JenniferEccles!
In fact, I'm struggling to find something likeable at all about him.

Yes, I do know that is true from a family member who works there.

sixandahalf Sun 26-Apr-26 11:49:34

What do you like about him please JE?

What is there to like?

eazybee Sun 26-Apr-26 11:58:48

One does not have to like Trump to believe the assassination attempt last night was genuine.

Galaxy Sun 26-Apr-26 12:07:30

Oh come on don't spoil the conspiracy theories. Surely it will be chem trails next.
