@GoadGatsby Exactly. He’s trying to now strong arm the court.

I don't think last night's shooting was staged but when it's immediately used to push a $400 million ballroom, then the credibility of the administration is out the window.

@ScottPresler Good grief, Charlie Kirk was a podcaster, not an elected official. Who is they?

They’ve tried to kill President Trump several times. They’ve succeeded in murdering Charlie Kirk. What is it going to take for our Republican Senate majority to pass legislation & secure our country’s future?

@svershbow It’s because of you she can leave and go to her new family. You’ll be working your magic soon on another foster. She looks so happy.

I'm really not emotionally prepared for her to leave tomorrow.

@IAmSophiaNelson @CNN Sad cnn pays him and has been sane washing Trump today. I can’t watch cnn anymore.

"conservatives are under attack"~Scott Jennings, on @cnn right now.

@SenFettermanPA Oh, shut up. The ballroom is ridiculous and WHCA is not a government event. Just go ahead and become maga.

We were there front and center. That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

@atrupar Good God. Both sidesing at top level.

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

@brianstelter Quit sane washing him. I bet the speech he was going to make was going to criticize the press. Probably will criticize today.

Trump very easily could have blamed the media last night, but instead, he basically said "we're all in this together."

@ScottPresler Who is us? Your guy is trying to do all of those things now. Take a seat, peacefully.

If democrats ever gain power again, they will try to bankrupt us. They will weaponize the IRS against us. They will pass laws to take away our gun rights. They will use red flag laws & turn the courts against us. They will try to imprison us.

@WhiteHouse Trump needs to start first. He’s done nothing but spew contempt for the press and the people who don’t support him for years.

"In light of this evening's events, I ask that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our differences peacefully." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

@ScottPresler Who is us? Do you say this after every school shooting? How do we coexist with an administration that wants to take most of our rights away?

How do we coexist with people that want to murder us?

@MarcACaputo How do you know he was after Trump?

No president in modern memory has been the target of this many know assassination attempts and plots as Trump axios.com/2026/04/26/tru…

@MeghanMcCain Ok, I’ll bite. I’ll criticize it. We don’t need it.

I don’t want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump’s new ballroom at the White House.

@kaitlancollins Whew, spreading false information. Perhaps wait until confirmation first.

We are inside the ballroom of the Hilton. One Service agent told me the shooter is confirmed dead. Agents swarmed the room within minutes of shots being heard, running down the main aisle. But because Cabinet officials are seated throughout the room, many of them remained on the floor, crouched under tables as the president was evacuated from stage.

@cmclymer We don’t yet know it was an assassination attempt.

Folks... tonight was not a false flag. It was a very stupid individual carrying out a very stupid act. This was a real assassination attempt. Please don't fall down these rabbit holes of conspiracy nonsense. They aren't helpful. You can despise Trump and also acknowledge reality.

@NancyMace Who is they?

Tonight, once again, they tried. And once again, they failed. God was looking after President Trump. STOP TRYING TO SHOOT HIM. This is America. We settle our political differences at the ballot box - not with bullets.

@brianstelter Omg, the sane washing is ridiculous. You’re praising him for doing what should a normal person would do. Today, he will go back to his regular press bashing. Stop it.

Trump's message of unity was really well-received after a suspect tried to charge past a security checkpoint into the WHCA dinner. He chose to lower the temperature rather than inflame tensions.

@Elex_Michaelson @brianstelter @whca @weijia @realDonaldTrump Doing something which is typically normal is not praiseworthy. Trump is fighting to take away so many of our freedoms.

Props to @whca President @weijia for professionalism & poise during an unprecedented situation. Thanks to @realDonaldTrump for cooling down the temperature & showing class towards Weijia and the assembled journalists during a moment of crisis.

@Acyn @HeatherThomasAF He’s tried to cancel just about every freedom we have.

Trump: We're not going to cancel things out because we can't do that. We wanted to stay tonight, I will tell you, I, I fought like hell to stay, but it was protocol—they said, please, sir…

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Pumping his ballroom is all he’s doing.

Incredible how calm and relaxed President @realDonaldTrump is sounding at this presser, given another would-be assassin just tried to kill him. He is astonishingly resilient.

I’m watching an ad for the White House Ballroom.
