Donald and Melania Trump entered the hall at 8:16 to cheers and applause. “Hail to the Chief” was followed by presentation of the colors and the National Anthem. We had a brief introduction from Weijia Jiang, this year’s president of the White House Correspondents Association, followed by dinner.
Two questions hovered in the background. One, how would President Trump treat the press? And two, would he, as had many presidents in the past at this event, treat the audience to a little self-deprecating humor? “Donald Trump” and “self-deprecation” are not words you often hear together, but who knows? The President is also a master communicator who reads his audience well.
We never found out. At about 8:35, four loud noises were heard from the back of the room. They were shots. . . .
“The First Amendment,” “Free Speech,” “A Free Media” are different ways of enunciating what the dinner is supposed to be all about. Not much mention, if any, will be given to the clamp down on free speech under the Biden administration or the liberating revolution sparked by Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and his campaign to restore speech to the platform and hence to the wider media environment.
Donald Trump has probably given the media more access to his thoughts than any president in history. At least part of many of his Cabinet meetings are open to the media and he seldom boards or exits a plane without stopping to answer questions. If he thinks a question is stupid or ill-informed, he will say so. Fake news he treats as fake news. The media hates that, of course, but has anyone ever treated them more like adults?

What I’ve heard so far is its a white male student at Cal Polytechnic State University.
Suspect is alive and has been subdued.
FBI has already secured his house.
Don't you know better, by now, than to believe a single word coming out of the Enemedia?
Are you saying that’s NOT a white male conservative? /s
Yep.. definitely white and a MAGA supporter with a 1000 round clip in fully automatic revolver.
5 mins after shooting they declared him a Lone Wolf.
Then they found his ID and requested Warrants.
Motive will never be known. Nothing to see here, move on.
Yup… definitely Caucasian persuasion… Not
Must be a President Trump supporter ……

Isn’t this the same hotel Reagan got shot at ?
Crazy eyes.
The double-digit IQ types over at ‘democRAT underachievers’ seem to be leaning into a PDJT sanctioned false flag operation.
This is the result of the communist press of this country. They are so stupid! When they take over there will be a silent bloodbath on ANY descent. History proves this.
Huh. Why did they JD out first and then go back for Pres Trump.
Yes.
That was outside.
Warrants?
Haven’t seen that.
What are they for? When? Where?
JD moves faster. They also did not have him surrounded the way they had Trump surrounded. Trump had a 100% curtain around him.
His residence and office (and emails, phones, accounts).
His residence is owned by his parents.
The point is they knew nothing about him, but they had already declared him a Lone Wolf.
