Okay. Let’s try this again a year and a half later. Just because it’s one of the most frustrating social media moments in my life.
Can I say, “that looked kinda staged” this time without being told to wait for official investigation and watch my tone?

@hacks4pancakes There seem to have been rather huge bets placed on polymarket on the no side of all of these "what will he say at the WHCA dinner" bets right before the event.
You're not gonna get flak from me, 'swhat I'm saying. https://polymarket.com/event/what-will-trump-say-during-whca-dinner-on-april-25

@hacks4pancakes Feels like it was.

@hacks4pancakes “old man who has needed to be dragged into public view over the last week honors commitment to attend perhaps the most cognitively dissonant event possible where his greatest enemy (people who are supposed to tell the truth) can be implicated as would-be assassins” does lend itself well to “this was staged,” yeah. Claiming it sounded like a dropped tray is also weird as fuck for someone who should probably be extra concerned about gunfire due to A) the “previous incident” and B) what I will only summarize as “public sentiment.”
(I have not engaged with coverage of the event beyond that because our media apparatus is particularly bad at breaking news coverage and introspection so this is probably not going to get decent coverage until Ronan Farrow’s kid writes a book 20 years from now.)

@hacks4pancakes my first thought when I read it: "wait, that sounds exactly what Russia suggested to Orbán to not loose the election last month"

@hacks4pancakes You mean that the dinner that Trump has historically avoided (after having a national sense of humour failure at one many years ago) just happened to be interrupted / he could get rushed away from...
By an "assassination attempt" - which is a well-known tactic by certain foreign actors to increase support for failing politicians prior to a notable election - which happens in a location / way that can be used as supposed-justification for one of his gaudy vanity projects?
What was on the menu for the dinner? Because something definitely smells fishy.

@hacks4pancakes If it wasn’t, those secret service agents need to be disciplined. They weren’t paying attention and the guy blew right past them, and then they fired off a bunch of rounds that hit nothing but the decor.
