A deranged driver allegedly drove his car onto the sidewalk near the White House and demanded to speak to President Trump, causing a wild scene in D.C.
The man allegedly drove near the security barrier on the sidewalk at the corner of 16th Street and H Street at Lafayette Square around noon Saturday, triggering a massive law enforcement response.
Metropolitan Police Department officers, members of the military and Secret Service officers rushed to the scene, The Sun reported.
The man was allegedly demanding he speak to President Trump as he was being arrested, seemingly unaware that the commander in chief was on vacation at Camp David at the time, the outlet reported.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital for a “mental health evaluation,” a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement to The Post.
The spokesperson said that surrounding roads were shut down “out of an abundance of caution” and that a sweep of the man’s car didn’t turn up anything.
“We appreciate the swift actions of our Secret Service Police Officers and are grateful for the Metropolitan Police Department for their prompt response,” the Secret Service said.
This isn’t the first time someone has driven dangerously close to the White House.

So, what did he talk about WITH TRUMP?
A male Karen? He wants to talk to the manager.
Was it someone from CNN pissed that they lost their press pass LOL
Looks like your TYPICAL MUSLIM DEMOCRAT!
That looks AI-ish. Unusually clear and close-up.
“What? I should not have done that?”
Come on. Trump already told Zelenski to not come to the white house in shorts with black sox. Put a suit on and then demand to see Trump.
Didn’t Trump just kick out reporters? If so, my bet on the Deranged Driver is Jake Tapper.
See ya in GTMO.
Someone should AI that thing into a CNN reporter.
It’s not like he strangled his three children to death...
Give him a break. He has to speak to derange men and skanky hookers all day long.
Did he have a press pass?
It’s Rachel Maddow when he stops shaving.
Doesn’t look like Biden unless he’s really let himself go to seed. Grew a beard and died his hair.
