President Trump Holds the White House Press Dinner This Time in a Safer Setting
In April, the White House Press Dinner was cut short due to an assassin barging into the event.
RFK Jr. was seen being escorted from the event. His father and uncle were killed by assassins in the 1960s in two of the saddest moments in history.
Here he is after the shooting being escorted out by the Secret Service.

Secretary of War Hegseth and Stephen Miller protected their wives.
You can tell a lot about a man about how they instinctively respond when it hits the fan.
In this photo, Stephen Miller moves on top of his pregnant wife to protect her.

Melania was horrified when she heard the shots.
The look on the face of @FLOTUS says it all.
She must be terrified that the left will never stop trying to end her husband’s life. The father of her only child.
This is heartbreaking. And evil. pic.twitter.com/CMDwDqqjE0

President Trump talked about his appearance at the dinner when Barack Hussein Obama was President.
🚨 AWESOME! President Trump says that Hussein Obama tried joking about him being president at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011 — but that’s exactly what happened
