Trump Admits His Curiosity Slowed Secret Service Evacuation
US President Donald Trump says his own curiosity contributed to the 20-second delay in his exit from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after an assassination attempt. In a recent CBS interview, he explained, “I wanted to see what was happening, and I wasn’t making it that easy for ’em.” He also clarified that his drop to the floor wasn’t a stumble but a security measure ordered by agents as they moved him and the First Lady to safety. Despite initial chaos, Trump even suggested continuing the event from a secure holding room after gunfire. Reflecting on the ordeal, he noted he’s survived other threats but praised Melania for handling her first crisis “great.” Authorities have arrested 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen and are investigating security lapses at the venue.
