Trump questions why Secret Service grabbed JD Vance quicker during DC shooting

• Donald Trump ranted about the Secret Service agents evacuating Vice President JD Vance more quickly than him during a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last month.
• Trump recounted the chaotic moments of the April 25 event, where gunfire erupted outside the Washington Hilton ballroom, leading agents to rush him and Vance to safety.
• Video footage shows a Secret Service agent swiftly pulling Vance backward from his seat, while Trump initially remained seated before being escorted off stage, briefly losing his footing.
• “I saw them take JD by the shoulders and lift him up like he was a little boy,” the 79-year-old president continued. “I said ‘how come they didn’t lift me up so fast?’ They lifted JD — got ripped out of the chair. That was a view of the week, but they did the job, JD, right? I think so.”
• The suspect, 31-year-old California engineer Cole Allen, was charged with attempting to assassinate the president and other offenses, pleading not guilty during his arraignment.
