President Donald Trump praised Secret Service and law enforcement officers for stopping a gunman at a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.
In a quickly arranged news conference at the White House, the president described being whisked away by Secret Service agents after shots rang out in the checkpoint area. Attendees at the dinner were told to get down and take cover during the incident.
A suspect is in custody, said Trump, still dressed in his black tuxedo.
The president also said he wanted to return to the event following the incident, though the association behind the annual event said the dinner will be rescheduled.

L’attaque armée visant hier soir le président des États-Unis est inacceptable. La violence n’a jamais sa place en démocratie. J’adresse à Donald Trump tout mon soutien.

Leftists have tried to kill the president three times now. They killed Charlie. They've shot up churches and Christian schools and rioted in the streets. They are the party of terrorism. Political violence comes from one side. How much longer will we allow these people to wage war on the country?

Trump defames Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. (2025)

@humbledvoter @jaketapper He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy!

@jaketapper 🇺🇸 I don’t want to hear one more complaint about Trump’s AI edits or fricken ballroom 🇺🇸

@jaketapper @InfiniteBliss89 Riddle me this: HOW does any general public person get within 1000 yards of an event that has the POTUS with a gun??? Staged. Do your job as a journalist and start investigating

President Trump 🇺🇸

@RichardGrenell @HaroldWren22 Geezz. Trump is a blessing in so many ways. The History books will honor this man as they should!!
English
The President of the United States was just the target of another assassin attempt tonight…but he called me just now to check in to see how I was doing because my mom died on Wednesday.
English
@RichardGrenell Don't believe trump would do that. Never. Unless here wanted money.

@TrackingFires @SecMullinDHS @miche051124 @POTUS Almost like they knew he was fine. Part of the show
English
@SecMullinDHS @miche051124 @POTUS The Secret Service left our President on the dais longer than the VP. That is NOT a quick or good job.
English
Thankfully, President Trump, the First Lady, all members of the Cabinet, the media, and guests are safe. @POTUS has displayed incredible composure and leadership tonight.
I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement personnel for their quick and heroic actions.
An investigation is ongoing, and we will provide updates as they become available.

@SecMullinDHS @POTUS Now about there way trump stated and those epstein files

@TheAKGuy @rightsidefreee @m0mmydearest1 Did he get shot? Was it investigated? Jesus couldn't grow a ear back that fast. Who's paying you?
English
@rightsidefreee @m0mmydearest1 They did this when he got shot in Butler too. Sickeningly obvious.

At what point will the left and the media admit responsibility for the direct correlation between their hyperbolic rhetoric and people trying to murder our fucking President.
It’s honestly absurd at this point.
English
I don’t want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump’s new ballroom at the White House.
English
I walked out right next to Jake Tapper & looked him in the eye. “How dare you? You’ve caused so much division in this country with your lies. I’m done calling it gaslighting — you’ve LIED to the American people.”
These reporters have spent a decade spreading absolute lies about President Trump.
They share some of the blame for what happened tonight.
As a mother, I’m exhausted by it. I couldn’t stay silent and walk out pretending someone like Jake Tapper is one of the good guys.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS Looked like part of the show. Trump can't tell a joke.

.@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."
English
@WhiteHouse Trump hasn't done shite for normal people. Only billionaires. And his direct family. We are living in fascist state with a propaganda machine.
English
The Trump administration won't stop fighting every day for the American people. 🇺🇸
Here are some of the top highlights from another week of winning at the White House. ⬇️

The most protected man in the world. Our lord has protected this man from every form of evil that has come against him. President Trump has been chosen to lead this nation back to God and return us to the Godly people we once were. It is the nation that made a covenant with the lord that from this land the word of God would be shared to every corner of the earth. Clearly President Trump still has so much work to do uniting the people and reminding us of the greatness we once were and will be again.
