Hours after the failed assassin’s manifesto was released, Democrats claim that they don’t know the motive behind the third assassination attempt on President Donald Trump that happened last night at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday.
Last night, a 31-year-old man shot a U.S. Secret Service member in a bulletproof vest while trying to kill the rest of Trump's cabinet. Law enforcement captured the man.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice…— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) April 26, 2026
The vacuum of facts has been filled by hysteria and the usual conspiracy theories, as well as understandable demands to make changes so that such a thing can never happen again, but that's not possible.
We don't need a panic - or a fortress ballroom.

The shooter’s manifesto was clear: he wanted to kill President Donald Trump and his administration.
I received a copy of Cole Allen's anti-Trump manifesto, which a US official says he sent to family members about 10 minutes before the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting last night

The manifesto said in part: "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."
Obama says “we don’t yet have details about the motives” of the would be left-wing assassin at the WHCD last night:

President Trump said he “wasn’t making it that easy” for the Secret Service as it responded when shots rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, because he wanted to see what was going on. @NorahODonnell's interview with the President, tonight on 60 Minutes. pic.twitter.com/Us7RqmMqg2— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) April 26, 2026
Obama Thinks Trump's Would-Be-Assassin's Motive Is Mystery Wrapped In An Enigma: 'We don’t yet have the details about the motives'

In an interview with 60 Minutes, Trump slammed the failed assassin and the Democrat talking points that encouraged the man.

Multiple people who attended the dinner have seen a loved one assassinated, including Erika Kirk and RFK Jr.
Trump said that Democrats' hate speech encourages more assassinations.
🚨 President Trump just called it for WHAT IT IS:
“I do think the hate speech of the Democrats is very dangerous.”
They caused it.
And pretend they didn’t.

.@POTUS: "The guy is a sick guy, when you read his manifesto. He hates Christians, that's one thing for sure... and I think his sister or his brother actually was complaining about it.

Bring a knife, we bring a gun. In a peaceful manner of course. Besides, ask the perp. He’s still alive. For now.
"GEE! What was his motive? We just don't know DUH!"
If I liked and wanted 🐃💩. I would have voted for Obama and have a subscription to the NY Times. I didn’t vote for Obama and I wouldn’t subscribe to the times even if I had a parrot in a cage needing a floor liner. The shooter is a radicalized, lunatic, leftie the same as the aforementioned source’s named previously. IMO
The woman laying down on the chairs, is she hiding or did she faint? I can imagine how horrifying it can get as they had no idea if it was a Biden invited foreign terror group coming in to kill everybody or just one nut.
Joe Biden also released a statement saying that he thought the shooter looks a lot like Barack Obama.
Hussein and The New York Slimes are royally PISSED that President Trump is still breathing.
“The woman laying down on the chairs, is she hiding or did she faint? I can imagine how horrifying it can get as they had no idea if it was a Biden invited foreign terror group coming in to kill everybody or just one nut.”
Excellent point. No one knew. Well maybe Walmart but who else knew?
And I just found out that this act of violence will NOT be counted as “left-wing”, because he was not a MEMBER of a left-wing organization. Nor would any of the Trump assassination attempts, or Charlie Kirk’s assassination, or the attacks on Rand Paul or Steve Scalise. Etc.
Because the DNC and media are not designated as left-wing groups, those who are incited by them don’t count as left-wing attacks in any of the “official tallies”. Nor do deaths from rioting. The deck is stacked because the inciting bodies are not LABELED (by the SPLC, for instance) as “left-wing”. And the methods used to commit violence (like ICE protests, riots, etc) are not included in violence stats because they are “crimes of opportunity”, not “leftwing violence”.
IOW, the books are cooked to enable this behavior while the “official stats” excuse it.
Joe Biden also released a statement saying that he thought the shooter looks a lot like Barack Obama.
Did he also say he was “clean and articulate”?
I’m starting to think all these shooters were sired by Wiley Coyote
Yeah. sure. The intention is about as subtle as a sledgehammer striking a crystal chandelier as though it was a pinata.
And I swear if I hear Obama, who ought to know better, call America "our democracy" one more time I'm gonna lose my mind.
IT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, you stupid unflushed turd.
The fact that he was our President for 8 years is a monumental embarrassment. Granted, not as monumental as Biden's 4 years, but still....
They’re not that stupid of course. They’ll just never let any of their propaganda go to waste.
David Mamet:
In order for modern leftists and progressives to continue advancing a radical and extreme political ideology, they must pretend not to know things!
It is like that time the press carried on and in and on about the Quran in the toilet at Gitmo, until people in Pakistan started protesting over the fake allegations the press made against the US guards, who didn’t have anything to do with it. Those protests turned into bloody riots because of the press misreporting the incident and some 12 to 14 or maybe more people were killed in the rioting.
Two possibilities.
1) They’re stupid.
2) They think we’re stupid.
I’ll take door #2.
1. They’re leftwing communists
2. They’re leftwing muzzoids engaging in Taqiyya
3. They’re satanic evil
4. All of the above
I’ll take door #4...
Yep, the media gets off flaming things then they sit back and laugh it up. Just like the LA riots, they never showed the full video of Rodney King charging cops after being tased twice or pulling down his pants and telling them to kiss his ass, all they showed was the cops beating him up. That riot resulted in 63 people being killed, 2300 injured all because of those scmbags in the media.
They can’t allow themselves to discuss a motive because they would have to condemn themselves.
Freaking, urchin demons……
I notice the shooter took a train that stopped in Chicago before continuing on to DC.
