Among questions they are looking to answer - should VP be at the same event as POTUS to protect line of succession

LEAVITT says Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will hold a meeting early this week on POTUS security

FLOTUS calls out Jimmy Kimmel for saying she looked like an "expectant widow" just days before the third assassination attempt on her husband.
First Lady Melania Trump@FLOTUS
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

I don’t understand why people make assumptions without the benefit of fact.
I booked my room at the Hilton less than a week out. And there were plenty of rooms still available the day of the event, because I was offered repeated opportunities to upgrade or change to a different room.
“He was supposedly a guest at the exact hotel? Like every room in that place wasn't booked full over a month in advance?”

So let's unpack a few things right up front... 1) He left California and was in DC at the hotel where the WHCD was veing held. 2) Imagine the intent he had to have in order to travel that distance all the while thinking about what he was going to do. 3) He either moved several weapons or procured them in/around DC and figured out a way to get them in proximity to the WHCD. 4) He took the time to load the weapons on to his body (to reportedly include several knives) and nobody noticed. 5) Now here is the kicker...in his hidden location he was somehow aware that the President was in the room and was seated. How/when was he aware of that part? 6) If he wasn't a guest at the WHCD and he couldn't see the President from where he was....how did he know? 7) It's not like he could go look in the room and then go load up with his gear. 8) He was supposedly a guest at the exact hotel? Like every room in that place wasn't booked full over a month in advance? In DC, on a Saturday, with the WHCD in the same hotel....have you ever booked a hotel in DC during a Major Presidential event? Good luck!!! All of it screams that he had help from someone in DC. Someone with some serious knowledge and capabilities. You just don't pull off something like that on a whim and without some serious reconnaissance ahead of time.

How about working on how to get out the Middle East mess you made before focusing on a vanity renovation project.

President Trump continues to show leadership under the kind of pressure that breaks most men.

.@POTUS: "I lead a pretty normal life considering it's a dangerous life. I think I handle it as well as it can be handled. I think a lot of other people, you read stories where they become basket cases... I really take it as it is. I do it for the country."

"How are you after all of this, and how is the First Lady doing?"
@POTUS: "She’s doing great, I’m fine, and it was a very sad evening in many ways — and it was also an evening where a lot of people got together... So there was something very nice, I'll tell you."
English
@WhiteHouse @VP @POTUS Last night proved that the rhetoric in this country needs to come to an end. The division this has created is more than anyone one person should tolerate. It's time for constructive dialog.
Catch your breath today and start Monday 🙏 and let's make America great again.

"It comes with the territory, and if you want to do a great job... take a look at what's happened to some of our greatest presidents. It doesn't happen to people that don't do anything…
It's not going to deter me." - President Donald J. Trump

@aishahhasnie Yes but at the same time do not let the fear take away from your freedom.

Our calls were dropping, because there is barely any service in that ballroom. To finish the story, he was telling me to be careful with my own safety because the world is crazy. Which is what my own father and other people have also said to me recently. He was expressing his concern for my safety. I was going to say - before I lost my signal - that it was unfortunate that only a short time later, this all happened. When we heard people shouting “get down”, he jumped into action and made sure myself and others at our table got on the ground. He was heroic in his actions and I will forever be grateful.

I’m so damn proud of our FOX family. I watched our colleagues help each other and our guests get underneath the tables immediately. And then comforted one another while producing, coordinating, and reporting the news in a very confusing and chaotic scene.
It was a sad day. But also one that reminded me how amazing humans are.

@ShannonBream Do not let this individual drive fear into your life. Take the question from Trump and live with the freedom to live another day and prosper.

Just talked with Acting AG Blanche. He tells me the suspect in last night’s shooting traveled cross-country via train to get to DC.

You can see here Secret Service making their way to the Cabinet— walking across chairs while guests ducked underneath tables trying to figure out exactly what was happening. I was with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. We are safe.

Gunshots and chaos at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, DC where President Trump, Vice President Vance, the First Lady, members of the Cabinet, Congress and hundreds of journalists gathered at the Washington Hilton -- we were ushered under tables and then quickly out of the room. President Trump is safe and will hold a news conference from the White House shortly--video I took coming next here on X

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told me over the phone he has unilaterally cancelled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranians.
"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'."
