The same people who fretted over Donald Trump once warning of a “bloodbath” in the auto industry if there was a second Joe Biden term is now calling Trump “a guy who wants us dead” in reference to the press — but just figuratively, they swear! — about a half hour before someone seems to have wanted him dead at a dinner hosted by the White House press corps.

As you’ve probably heard by now,31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen is in custodyafter rushing past Secret Service at the Washington Hilton on Saturday and toward the room where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was happening.

Allen, police say, was heavily armed and shot a law enforcement agent.

The law enforcement officer was wearing a bulletproof vest and is expected to be fine, according toAssociated Pressreports. Footage of Allen sprinting past Secret Service and then being taken into custody was widely available shortly after the incident.

Now, it’s unclear what the attempted assailant’s motives may have been, although one need not be Sherlock Holmes nor Hercule Poirot to assume what a man who was heavily armed running past Secret Service into a room where the president of the United States was might have been trying to accomplish.

That’s doubly true when you consider the fact thathis donation historyandpolitical leanings, such as could be uncovered in a short period of time, all seemed to indicate that this was someone who had definite left-wing, anti-Trump inclinations.
