A suspect who shot at a White House checkpoint was killed in an exchange of fire with Secret Service agents on Saturday evening, officials have confirmed.

The BBC’s US media partner CBS has named the suspect as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old man who was known to the protection agency and had a documented history of mental health conditions.

    This guy just keeps getting shot at! I wonder if it’s a result of his constantly terrible governing, his incredible narcissism, the fact that the only thing he can output is suffering, or even that his feelings of joy themselves are fraudulent.

    Maybe all four?

      Are you saying that trump is repeating his YMCA dance because his staff told him to try it once, he saw it was successful and just repeats it constantly because he has nothing else?

      Don’t forget he hires people solely based on whether they will swear personal allegiance to him, but he’s never loyal to them. So no competent person would ever want to work for him.

      He hates these cans! Stay away from these cans!

      alt: two panel vertical image, top image is a man dressed in hunters gear holding a rifle in a firing position squinting through the scope. The bottom panel is a gas station attendant standing near a display or motor oil cans and pointing at them in an excited manner, some of which have bullet holes. This is a scene from the Steve Marton movie The Jerk when a crazed gunman is trying to kill the main character for no reason.

      Honestly, I think he’s just that trashy, the whole DC neighborhood has gone downhill since he moved in…

      He’s just so amazing, that everyone happens to want to kill him! That’s what happens when everyone loves you, right?
