Strange that security didn't do what they usually do which is shoot and kill the assailant.
AND
Trump still looking for a reason to get emergency powers.
yet another distraction from the Epstein files !
in the name of democracy" lol. no. that ship has sailed. and you know, the midterms will be canceled.
What was for the Salad Starter? What type of salad was it and what was for the main Course? I have food on the brain, im really hungry right now..
"I don't care. Do you?"
😂 she cannot believe herself cannot sustain her sight up and gesticulates a lot in psychology this is done to cover up something or not being truthful.
President Obama had 600% fewer fake assassination attempts,
king Charles please send Andrew instead
Had Catwoman wel gespot maar dat zie ik nou pas die dochter van Kim Jong un was er ook joh
An all-American event: guns, madness, a deluge of opportunistic propaganda, a deepening of the national divide. The Trumpistas are demanding that everybody stop litigating against the "ballroom:" the "ballroom" would have kept Donald safe. But Donald was never in any real danger, since the shooter was apprehended far from the main room. Also the WHCA is an independent organization that gets to select its own venue. The president is an invited guest who can refuse to attend, as Donald generally has. The idea that anything involving the emperor should be held within the imperial walls of Trump Palace (formerly known as the White House) is beyond absurd.
Is this factual reporting or media bias and hype?
FAKE. Totally staged political theater. Trump trying to raise his very low poll numbers.
Clearly the guy works for mi5/mi6. United Kingdom was clearly involved every body knows that.
Just a 'stage attempt' so Trump can gain delirious 'jesus-like' popularity….We all know that already
These people are so outraged about this minor incident who got nowhere near the main hall, but they couldn't care less about the thousands of children killed by the American and Israeli regimes in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran.
The attacker run in.. then at least four service men shot at him, these are trained men, the best from what I hear… and he didn't get one bullet even??
I couldn't care less about this!!
I only care about innocent people being killed or attacked, Trump isn't innocent
How do British men like these🤮🤮 two manage to look so snobbish and hateful and just…. pretentious!!
🤮🤮🤮
2:10 I saw the close up, he was oblivious of the gunshots nearly 5 seconds. Secret service cleared Vance & ladies first. Trump's security were slow & disorganised, 7 seconds before he was shuffled off, se urity team coming on in armour didn't know where to stand or what to look at, another precariously straddled a table looking for direction on what to do. So badly staged, worse than a cheap B movie
If I was the BBC in its forever crusade against conspiracy theories, I sure, when posting videos on theory prone events, would consciously avoid having a 33 minute run time
So fake.
Wonder what Starmer will do in such circumstance, perhaps lecturing under the table?
The Shite House.
The correspondence dinner is NOT a Chump press event, It is an industry event for journalists. Presidents are invited guests and not the focus of the event. Your thumbnail is wrong
America is the only nation who is taking extortion money in the name of military bases from all over the world …. It is time to kick their assess out as nobody wants them …Iran will make sure history is re-written with its allies 👍👊✊…..Territorial waters of Iran will be safeguarded ….they have all the right and they will collect toll money from their channel……the US carriers ships will be blown to pieces…the Panama Canal will be safe no more next by Cuba and Mexico ❤…missiles supply to South America in the Western Hemisphere is the answer …..Taiwan will be taken over by China and no power on earth can stop it to lead ❤
