A classic example of why Donald Trump is an unpopular and increasingly reviled president occurred after a shooter was arrested while trying to enter the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where Trump was supposed to speak.

The shooter was unable to enter the ballroom and it is unclear how far the person went. but it was enough to scare the black tie rich media elites in attendance.
Once the situation was under control and Trump returned to the White House, the press waited for the president to address the nation.
It turns out that letting a nearly 80-year-old president in mental decline address the country after 10 p.m. ET revealed a lot about why this administration is failing.
Trump said after announcing he posted a photo of the shooter on Truth Social:
They also played exactly how they were supposed to. And you see the attacker in different positions, but you also see the attacker completely subdued and under control.
As you know, this is not the first time in the last two years that our republic has been attacked by a would-be assassin who was looking to kill. And in Butler, Pennsylvania, less than two years ago, you know, everyone knows this story. And in Palm Beach, Florida, a few months later, we got close. We really did, again, a great job on the part of law enforcement, but in light of tonight’s events, I asked all Americans to recommit wholeheartedly and resolve our differences peacefully.
The same president who started a war with Iran for no reason and sent ICE into the streets of America to kill citizens says we should resolve our differences peacefully.
This is why Donald Trump’s credibility is far from zero.
However, even the arrival of a gunman is an opportunity for Trump to boast about the size of the crowd.
