Donald Trump motorcade was not involved in an accident in Washington D.C. on the afternoon of January 30. A protester and a Secret Service agent are said to have been injured in an incident outside of the White House. The crash is now said to have involved in a Chinese motorcade. An earlier version of this article stated that the incident involved the president’s motorcade.

In a statement, the Secret Service said that the crash occurred at 12:55 near 17th and F Streets NW. Uniformed Secret Service agents arrested a person who had crossed a police line. That person is also accused assaulting a police officer while attempting to impede a motorcade. The area was secured by the Secret Service.

On the morning of January 30, Bloomberg reported that protesters against Chinese President Xi Jinping’s regime were involved in scuffling outside of the White House. A Chinese delegation was visiting the White House as part of trade talks between the two countries. The network reports that protesters were handing out fliers that allege that the Chinese government has forced residents to relocate. A woman was injured, not seriously, in the early scuffles. Both presidents Trump and Xi have given their officials until March 1 to hammer out a trade agreement.

The White House told CNBC prior to the talks that one of the topics up for discussion was “China’s pledge to purchase a substantial amount of goods and services from the United States.”

According to the president’s schedule, his last event was an intelligence briefing which occurred at the White House at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time. A report published on January 30 noted that President Trump had very little on his schedule for the week proceeding the end of the federal government shutdown.

A violent incident sponsored by CNN?

It baffles me that reporters can screw up stories so bad.

Reporter is told by homeless stranger: “Dude, this protester chick jumped in front of a black car that police were escorting in D.C.”

Headline: “Former Transexual Teen Rape victim of Trump is Run down by Recklessly Speeding Trump Motorcade in Front of White House.”

Or just open fire on the Chinese motorcade on general principle.

The sad thing is that many of these copy editors who can't spell are raised here and graduate from U.S. public schools. I see errors in print everywhere. Both of my daughters have worked as editors for magazines and have excellent skills at catching errors. They tell me it's horrible that kids graduate from universities and that those kids can't spell. They've moved on out of publishing, to more productive careers but still correct co-worker misspellings.

This article reads like it was translated from Chinese.

Poorly.

These people can't tell one red hat from another?
