【Trump: An agent was hit, but his bulletproof vest saved his life】 After the shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner, Trump and Melania evacuated urgently and held a press conference 30 minutes later. Reporters were still in formal evening gowns, appearing on camera in full attire.
Trump personally chaired the press conference, saying this was a dinner that allowed us to safeguard free speech. "One suspect attempted to bring weapons through metal detectors, but was swiftly dealt with by our brave Secret Service personnel. Meanwhile, to ensure transparency of information, I quickly posted on Truth Social... We will not allow any criminal to take over our society."
Trump stated this was an attack on the U.S. Constitution and confirmed how rapidly the Secret Service and government agencies responded—they performed exceptionally well. One agent was hit, but he was wearing a high-quality bulletproof vest and was shot at close range. The vest successfully stopped the bullet—excellent work! He is in very good spirits and holds great respect for this official. This agent's courage is commendable!
He highly praised the swift and decisive actions of law enforcement, saying, "We also saw the gunman quickly brought under control, and the emergency response was flawless. The threat has been eliminated, and the suspect has been arrested—a gunman from California with extremely serious mental health issues."
Trump seized the opportunity to criticize hotel security, stating that the venue hosting the dinner was not a particularly secure location. Therefore, a better building should be constructed at the White House. The White House had requested such a construction for over 150 years, but it has never been built.
Trump revealed: "What I want to say tonight is that I took a major fall. But I had to follow law enforcement’s advice, as there were too many unexpected events happening simultaneously, and they handled the situation superbly."
