Another distraction meant to distract us from the previous distraction, which itself was distracting us from the first distraction…
So, the first-time the notoriously thin-skinned trump goes to this event as POTUS for a group of people he hates and who he wants frightened and where an award for reporting on the Epstein files is being handed out is interrupted and he gets to talk about how a ballroom would have stopped this from happening and then he sounds so scripted? False flag.
Fox news reporter said she was warned by levit husband before the shooting saying be careful there people around here then the press takes selfies run out with food and stealing the wine Danger 😂
All the chaos, drama, and Political violence could have been eliminated if this DC gathering had been a Drag/Tranz party. Many in that room would have cheered and applauded!
Haha everyone was so scared,what a bunch of weenies crawling and clawing to safety… cowards
Let’s be clear about something, in my firm opinion any of the so called journalists… White House journalists are no longer REAL journalists…. They have basically bowed to Trump which is why they don’t ask hard questions or push back on trumps administration.
Yellow journalism
FAKE, FAKE, FAKE.
Why did she act so strange (with strange facial expressions) while next to Pres. Trump?
Awe. Poor self-important Weija. She could have reported the REAL story., but prefers the attention.
She is a beautiful young woman and handled everything with courage and grace.
Bought and paid for
Staged.
Damn 1800 views 2 hrs nobody cares😂😂😂
This woman is absolutely stunning.
This was basically staged
"I Knew Sum Tin Was Wong"
the moment I saw this woman next to Trump, I knew it was staged.
Snake oil 101
Wasn't she the one that got told by Trump to ask China when she asked about covid couple years back?
Has any MSM outlet reported about how so many right wing influencers “coincidentally” started pushing the “need for a ballroom” narrative within hours of the staged event?
Fake staged nonsense. When will they be willing to talk about the role guns play in gun violence?
It lands differently when it hits home doesn’t it? Remember when Alex Jones insisted parkland was a hoax?
Staged AGAIN. BEYOND OBVIOUS. THE PLAYBOOK IS THE SAME BS
Very satisfied…
There was no president in the U.S history that ever faced 4 attempted assignation but President Trump.
The lady next to Trump seemed to know what was going on and she looked calm and excited.
Weijia Jiang is a total class act and outstanding journalist in our country. She handled a terrible situation with class and professionalism and grace under pressure💯
Why ask why this keeps happening?
It should be OBVIOUS that when a leader is fighting to save their country from terrorists – communists – democrats – rinos – socialists, etc., they are in danger from these people who hate & are fighting to destroy America.
That person is NOT as smart as they say.
Anyone can learn things by reading books and studying things.
But Wisdom comes only from God, and He only gives it to the humble.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a despicable act, which is a quintessential indictment of the MORAL corruption of American society, especially those infected with the TDS virus and symbolically at the gathering of journalists, many of whom have encouraged TDS, including and with DUE RESPECT Pope Leo by his regrettable comments, which have sparked strife and further division in the Catholic Church…
President Trump is the most consequential US President. He is in an unenviable position, attempting to right the critical failures of previous American Presidents , especially the Democrats, and woke leaders in Western Nations, who like their WOKE journalists, engage in the disingenuous, ideologically captured “ doublespeak “, which oftentimes results in FAKE news and the VIOLENCE that we have JUST WITNESSED…..
President Trump needs to be COMMENDED for his COURAGE, by choosing NOT to be the proverbial politician and for CHALLENGING the WOKE status quo, worldwide, including many journalists, who tragically lack the vitamin of CRITICAL THINKING and are TRAGICALLY destroying Western Civilization and the values and traditions of the FREE WORLD….
This is a perfect example of the saying, "what you sow is what you will continue to reap." These dinners have been occurring since 1924, and we have never witnessed anything like this with a president. It is unprecedented to have a leader who has cultivated such a climate of hatred and discord on a global scale. The only surprising aspect in this case is that all the backlash is being directed squarely at him. His actions and rhetoric have ignited significant controversy, prompting many to scrutinize his leadership approach and the long-term implications of such divisive language for the nation's reputation and international relations.
Even during the tumultuous eras of the Gulf War, post-9/11, the Vietnam War, and World War II, no one has ever attempted to harm a president at a White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump’s tenure has introduced a level of animosity and polarizing rhetoric that seems almost unprecedented in American political history. Many citizens, including former supporters, now grapple with how to reconcile their views on leadership and governance in light of this unprecedented behavior. Observers and political analysts alike debate the potential consequences for future political norms and standards, indicating that the ramifications of this presidency may well resonate for generations to come. Ultimately, the challenge lies in moving beyond the current climate of division to foster a more united and constructive political discourse. And this will not happen until Donald John Trump is legally removed from office.
Get this woman off the stage

CCP OUT
Media provokes, bullets fly. You weren't 'running toward danger, you were clawing on the floor.
