The gunman who tried to breach the ballroom at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night is believed to have been targeting Donald Trump and senior members of his administration, the acting US attorney general, Todd Blanche, said on Sunday.
The suspect, who is in custody after being subdued by members of law enforcement as he rushed through the hotel venue, could be charged with trying to assassinate the US president, Blanche said.
Blanche said in a live interview with CNN on Sunday morning, when asked if the suspect apprehended could be charged with trying to assassinate the US president, “absolutely”.

There’s also historical precedent of authoritarian rulers staging similar false flags to push through their agenda or crack down on dissenters.
Trump’s shit, and I’m sure he’d be willing to do false flags, but I don’t think this was one. A post whose very comments address it as fake and two posts about a figure of speech taken overly literally just aren’t very good evidence.
