Following the shooting scare at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Donald Trump responded to a question about repeated threats by invoking Abraham Lincoln. When asked why such incidents keep happening to him, Trump remarked that even Lincoln faced similar dangers, drawing a historical parallel. The comment came after security forces foiled an armed suspect attempting to breach the venue. Trump was quickly escorted to safety, and authorities confirmed the attacker is in custody. His remark has sparked debate, with critics calling the comparison controversial while supporters see it as reflective of ongoing security risks. (PC: X)
