My employment is caring for clients in the various stages of aphasia, dimentia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. Trump's inability to register an immediate reaction to gunfire and connect the dots to concern about his safety is absolutely what one would expect of a man in serious decline. That he could not immediately show an awareness for the safety of those in attendance is a reflection of his raging narcissism. That ballroom, if ever completed, needs to be bulldozed and destroyed. We need our Berlin Wall moment!
Also, the way he could not get his balance, could not get his feet under him, when he had to hoist his enormous bulk from his chair and then walk quickly. I don't think he "stumbled," his legs gave out. Real life moves way too quickly for the dementia-brain to process.
Remember when he was wandering around on the White House roof? Similar facial expression to his face at the shooting last night. And I’m sure I am not the only one who thinks this whole event was staged. Finally: being a retired nurse, I suspect DJT has dementia — narcisstimentia.
Why would he show awareness or concern? I think it was a setup and he’s too shitty an actor too look worried or gave a shit. The entire MAGAsphere started campaigning for his Goddamn ballroom minutes after the scuffle.
I'd GLADLY PAY to be able to swing a sledge hammer at his ballroom, his arch, his wall with Mexico--not to mention to scrape some of that cheap gold shit off the sacred walls of the Whitehouse. And I don't want mementos--I want to take them out to sea and leave them wherever Osama bin Laden is rotting.
I concur, but please let us be mindful of the environmental harm from chucking his bits into the sea, or burying them in the ground, or no no no burning them! IMO, seal them hermetically until science discovers a fungus that will metabolize all that plastic crap!
The minute I heard he was attending, an event he has not attended in 15 years so why now, I knew this would happen. They should really hire some theatre folks next time because they really suck at staging.
I just love how he managed to stay in the limo, leave Melania behind, and declare there will be another dinner when it is not his call. I can not imagine any other president of the US not grabbing their wives as they are pulled out of a situation. I am not a crackpot theorist but something smells off. He was not perturbed by this at all.
In the world of TV story-writing...Logline: When a failing president with no sense of humor goes to an event in which he expects to be mercilessly roasted by professional comedians, a would-be assassin saves him from the humiliation of the night.
Why would a non-government organization hold an event in a White House ballroom? They wouldn't have been there even if the Epstein ballroom were available.
It wasn't at the white house it was at the Hilton. Trump was pushing his agenda to build the ballroom and is promising everyone anything to support him.
I think Ms. Glass was pondering the renewed insistence upon building that ballroom in the wake of the incident. It isn't as if they'll schedule the WHCD at the White House...at least not until the White House Correspondents have been bought by the oligarchy in full, to serve as the official propaganda machine of the WH.
Well at this moment in time due to government regulations independent groups can not rent space for Dinners etc in government building unless it includes government personnel. So at this point they would have to declare official state media. I doubt they would be that forth coming... faux news and a few others might seem like it but...
They would most certainly not admit it at present. With mango mussolini's ratings circling the drain, right-wing news outlets are starting to feel the heat from their loyal viewers/listeners.
God! Thanks for Your perspective from on High. Couldn't help but notice that Stephen Miller had to cop one more feel of his wife's breast before their practice run to Hell. Poor kid! What a terrible father already. And...Karoline Leavitt...was that scripted or prophetic? Do tell.
Practice run to Hell, Iove it! I guess if you're running to Hell, you get a lot of practice, because frankly, being as bad as they all are all the time is not easy.
I hear the dining room at the hotel is two floors below ground level and the shooting was two floors above. I’m not sure how that proves the need for a ballroom.
When I heard about the shooting and originally heard that the shooter was dead, I did not think about conspiracies. But when I found out, he was not only alive, but unharmed, OK, I found that a little difficult. He actually shot a law-enforcement agent, but was only tackled? Not riddled with bullet holes?
The hotel has a number of event spaces. I have been there for this dinner in the past. Usually it is on the street level. The hotel has elevator bays at street level and then the mezzanine level. There would have had street level security at the doors. But people who are staying there are behind that security. Then there would have two more security check points which would have had security detectors at the ballroom level he would have had to go through then the third level at the doors. It sounds like he got off at the mezzanine level. And was immediatly seen.
the solution isn't a $400M* ballroom at the WH. The solution is for the felon to stop attending these private, off the WH property events. Like he did the previous 4, 5 times he skipped the WHCA dinner in his 5 previous years being president.
Two comments: 1) DJT looked unphased. Was that because he didn't know where he was, did he just wake up from a nap, or did he know there was no reason to panic because it was all part of his plan? 2) Since the gunman was shot dead, there is the slightest possibility that the attempted assassination wasn't fake, but let's see if he commits "suicide" while in prison.
You’re right of course. It was those pesky computer gremlins that wrote the shooter “was” shot instead of “wasn’t”, which I intended to say. Sorry about that and thank you for catching it.
Correction to my post. The gunman was NOT shot dead. “Was” was the computer gremlin messing with me again; “was” should have been “wasn’t”. Sorry about that.
I can't believe any woman would agree to be impregnated by that hideous rabid Nazi!!!
More than once. We women do not claim her, she's as sick as he is.
worse...mad dog insane!
She's vile. It's truly a shame they found each other.
Worse shame: they bred. :-/
For some reason, and maybe it’s the wine, it’s kind of like the rape scene in “Rosemary’s Baby.”
She's just as hideous--that's why.

Recall his reaction when someone fainted at an Oval Office event. He just stood there, expressionless, while Dr. Oz, etc tended to the patient.
He has absolutely no concern for anyone else.
Total narcissist.
Amoral

I live 100 miles outside of DC. I think I can smell it from here.

I like God's suggestion the other day: fire it all off into the Sun. ;)
Just think. IRS could sell the tickets $2/smack, 3 for $5. Sledgehammer, rock smasher, jack hammer. Direct to our tax paying base. 🙃
Or he was expecting it?
I still say we keep it, as a museum to his crimes.
The minute I heard he was attending, an event he has not attended in 15 years so why now, I knew this would happen. They should really hire some theatre folks next time because they really suck at staging.
I had that same thought, Linda! This could have been way more Shakespearean and less of another episode of The Shit Show.
That was my thoughts too. I fully expected something like this.
It just seems so staged and convenient.
Anybody as addicted to violence as t belongs in a locked, padded cell, for the safety of everyone
I think Miller was just copping a feel in case they didn’t make it out alive.
Definitely. Someone should have just handed him pacifier to suck on.
It sure looks like it, with the position of his hand.
Betcha they had a nice row after that was published!
One last squeeze before we die?
Hahahaha! That makes sense.
I'm sorry for that little baby. I hope it will have a chance to thrive and become human in spite of its parents.
Why did they take JD out first?
Was it so 47* could enjoy the panick or hoping...
Because he has specific SS assigned to him. And,maybe because trump was never in danger.
Maybe, but the feeble SOB fell on his way out. So strong, so perfect...
Yeah. He could have broken his hip and undoubtedly messed his nappies.
They were probably already messed.
Correction…re-messed.
47 was enjoying the moment and knew exactly what was going on, because it was staged. So he was never in danger.
He's learned well from Hitler & Putin.
I just love how he managed to stay in the limo, leave Melania behind, and declare there will be another dinner when it is not his call. I can not imagine any other president of the US not grabbing their wives as they are pulled out of a situation. I am not a crackpot theorist but something smells off.

Are we watching Law & Order or Ghosts?
oh I think a much newer show called FAILED! An American soap Opera at the expense of the people.
It isn't a crackpot conspiracy theory if it's true!
Thanks, God, for your photo showing the Orange Menace looking completely unsurprised by the whole thing, right after it happened. An important detail!

E X A C T L Y !!!!!!
Of course, Miller is a coward. All bullies are. I'd love to be the fly on the wall the next time he and his wife are in private.
Don't you think she's just as awful as he is? Maybe he didn't want the security guy behind him to touch his wife....
she is much worse if you can imagine that. poor kid.
Golly. I’m not sure I can imagine it!
the solution isn't a $400M* ballroom at the WH. The solution is for the felon to stop attending these private, off the WH property events. Like he did the previous 4, 5 times he skipped the WHCA dinner in his 5 previous years being president.
*Less what he's skimming off the top.

Reporting this AM (BBC) is that the alleged shooter was not shot dead, but is in custody.
Funny that a USSS agent was shot & is in hospital (if the reporting is correct/current). But this "no quarter" regime left the shooter alive.
It's hard to hire people to play your fake assassination attempt games if you kill them. It will be interesting to see what happens to him.
The secret service agent was shot in the back by another secret service officer.
Link?
Ny times
Shooter is very much alive and in custody. Reportedly not cooperating with LE.
You’re right of course. It was those pesky computer gremlins that wrote the shooter “was” shot instead of “wasn’t”, which I intended to say. Sorry about that and thank you for catching it.
Correction to my post. The gunman was NOT shot dead. “Was” was the computer gremlin messing with me again; “was” should have been “wasn’t”. Sorry about that.
When I first heard of it last night I said, it's just a stunt. I knew it was just another magical ear. Fuck DJT.
