An armed man attempted to breach the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday where President Trump was attending, marking the second assassination attempt on the president in recent months. Unlike the July 2024 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, which boosted Trump's political support, analysts say this incident is unlikely to significantly improve his flagging approval ratings, which currently stand at 33 percent, as the gunman never posed an immediate threat and the event's association with the "Washington swamp" may alienate his base.

People might be also be understandably suspicious of this one.
