There were gunshots fired at the White House correspondents dinner. A media event. A man was quickly apprehended. This is a frame from video of the event. This is just before secret service let Trump away from the scene. I don’t think there were anyone hurt

One of the fun things about this regime is that it is entirely possible someone would want to attack their grotesquely evil asses while simultaneously it is just as likely that them being grotesquely evil they would stage a shooting to agitate their base and create another vector of attack on their political opponents.
Seriously the show of waves of security crawling out of like every crevasse right where the dude runs through but none of them even attempt to stop him bodily they just pull guns and run after him.
Yeah, I saw the video and had a kneejerk response to him smirking the moment everyone else hears the gunshots. Until I realized the guy with the notepad talking to him is the mentalist entertainment for the night, and he was just telling Trump a joke. Trump's just old and was lagging a few seconds behind everyone else. Probably couldn't even hear the shots that well either at his age.
Of course he's oblivious, hes ancient, he's probably half deaf, and he's focused on something else, and we know he can't focus on more than one thing at a time.
My first thought on hearing about this without knowing anything about it was its probably a false flag. Then i found out he did a press confence not 30mins later with him rambling about why he needs his ballroom. Now im sure it was a false flag
They had Vance off in seconds, leaving The Orange sitting there in his pudding way too long. Actually I was surprised how slow the reaction was. No matter how much you hate the guy, your job as Secret Service is prot ft at all cost. This detail looked sloppy.
He's probably so mentally declined that he's just oblivious to anything going on around him. But I do love that no one on his side will admit that part, so it just looks like he was in on a staged attack.
He doesn't need to be in the loop of any false flag planning. They can literally stage it and then go to him as its happening and tell him "Don't worry. You'll be safe." Hell, he could bring it up himself in the first place and probably forget about it before it would happen.

Trump is simply such a brave guy that gunfire doesn't faze him. Man, if only he didn't have bonespurs you guys would have won all of the Vietnams.
PurifiedInTheWatersOfLakeMinnetonka
He’s a senile old man with dementia; he’s oblivious to the sound or importance of gunfire. No big conspiracy there.
YoungCore
I think he just forgot to act surprised.

AFAIK this is reaction to the mentalist's performance, not gunfire.

If you watch the video you will see that this was before the Secret Service ran in and these reactions are for the "magic" trick being done.
