President Trump suddenly exited his coronavirus briefing amid reports that the Secret Service shot a person outside the White House grounds.

The D.C. fire department was dispatched to outside the White House at 5:55 p.m. Monday after a call from the Secret Service reporting that they had shot a person in the upper body, D.C. fire spokesman Doug Buchanan said.

President Trump said that the person was taken to the hospital after the shooting, but that he did not know the person’s condition. He added that he understands the suspect was armed.

2. so bunker boy with the help of his SS troops stages a little stunt so russian bots can say what a

hero he is.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Actually, it was a false alarm...............

It was Trump's drug supplier bringing Trump his weekly supply of Adderall, and the SS didn't recognize him........

Speaking of Fat, Lard Ass, druggies, has anyone heard how the king of right wing talk radio doing?????

[msongs]

3. ratings grab? nt

[dchill]

4. CERTAINLY not to be taken at face value.

[marybourg]

5. Did they take him to his bunker?

[ancianita]

6. Nah, Secret Service took him away from his presser for about 10-15 minutes.

Then he got right back to his usual shitshow.

[bdamomma]

12. I was thinking the same

thing he's probably going to make his wall bigger around the WH, fucking coward.

7. Fake News to curry public sympathy?

That's the first thought that comes to my mind. I'm cynical I guess, but we're being fed every day.

[pnwest]

9. I can't see the Secret Service being

willing to pretend something was up and fake pulling him away from a press conference.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. True.

Good to know they are still independent and still doing their job well.

[yaesu]

17. I could, any organization (as we have seen with the military) can't be trusted as being "independent

he corrupted everything, nothing can be trusted while the fascists are in control.

[Nexus2]

28. I could, mainly because the Secret Service is so loyal.

Its covered/enabled dubious things before. And Trump seems to rot away the moral base of anyone that spends too much time with him .

[niyad]

25. First thing that crossed my mind.

[Midnight Writer]

10. When Trump announced this news, did he have a chub?

Shooting people seems to be a recurring fantasy of his.

[Ligyron]

14. Many people are saying a large, brown stain appeared on the back of his pants about then.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. If what Stormy Daniels said is true it's probably hard to tell

[LiberalFighter]

13. Eric or Don Jr?

[bringthePaine]

15. the stain? well, kinda looked like both of 'em...

[El Supremo]

16. He said it was local police.

Not the Secret Service.

He lies about everything.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. That's nothing

remember when some one flew a private plane into the white house during the Clinton administration?????

[warmfeet]

21. Was it tRump?

They still shoot traitors, I think.

[BlueStater]

22. The old adage "If you have nothing nice to say..." applies here.

Not saying anything. Nope.

[This Donald is a Dem]

23. They Shot the Wrong Person

I'll just leave it at that.

[meow2u3]

24. Dammit, they missed

[Illumination]

26. Oh thank goodness he's OK! Don't know how I'd go on without him! Little Donny just lights

up a room! Everyone is so touched by his presence! He is truly a GOD LIKE being from which planet I don't know. Well, I'm going to turn on the fake Fox News now just to see if I can catch a glimpse of heaven's angel! I'm so jealous of Melania especially with that nice jacket & uncompassionate saying! We are so blessed to have these lovely people inhabit the W.H.! Good night Donny & Melania! Sleep well & with one eye open!

[Linda Ed]

29. Really something when you

could not locate one post that expressed empathy and/or a "glad trump is ok" statement, after the strangely fake event that took place during trump's press conference. Guess most of us really do not like the con man very much.

[Illumination]

31. Sorry Linda Ed...Can't love a mass murderer, etc! NO how, NO way!

[LuckyLib]

30. 5:55 p.m. and Dump was still at work? I don't believe it for a second.

[Illumination]

32. Hello LuckyLib! Shocking that he might actually be working, let alone for the American people!

[NCjack]

33. I hope the person that caught the bullet is OK. At this point, I don't

believe that story that he was carrying a weapon.
