There was a shooting at the White House.
It occurred just outside the gates and it all went down during President Trump’s press conference.
The Secret Serice interrupted Trump’s presser and took him away while they secured the situation.

The shooting suspect was shot by Secret Service and transported to the hospital.
Once the situation was all-clear, President Trump returned to the podium.
A reporter asked him if he was “rattled.”
The President, who was cool as a cucumber, looked right at the reporter and said, “Do I seem rattled?”

President Trump showed so much strong leadership, even a staunch liberal reporter gave him credit.
Credit where it is due. @realDonaldTrump [8] is bringing calm to the turmoil.

This is how a true leader behaves. Calm and cool and steady as a rock in a chaotic situation.
