About this listen
Last night, a teacher with a shotgun tried to get to the President at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Shots were fired. Trump was evacuated. A Secret Service agent was hit.
But wait — this isn't the first time. Butler. Florida. Coachella. Now Washington. Why does this keep happening to Trump?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Wen to break down four questions:
How did a gun almost get into one of the most secure events in America?
Why does Trump specifically keep attracting this kind of violence? Is it about who he is — or what he represents?
Could any of this be staged? Or connected to a foreign government? (The short answer: no. The longer answer is more interesting.)
What actually happens — politically, legally, practically — if a president is assassinated?
This episode was recorded on April 26, hours after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing. Some facts may change.
