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.

    Is Trump in the running for most attempts on a president’s life yet? I feel like the number is getting up there.

      I guess there have been 8 trump assassination attempts total.

      So far, there have been 7 school shootings in 2026 alone.

      There have been over 130 mass shootings in the US so far this year.

      The fascist child rapist is just experiencing what America has become. I’d rather a cheeseburger take him out instead of violence, but he’s gonna be a martyr either way. Maga chuds are gonna get really fucking weird about his death. Just you wait. He’ll be their patron saint.

          If a civil war happens, I want Trump to be the one prosecuting his end of it. It will be a chaotic bloodbath of stupidity, but it would work out in the favor of the good guys.

      Obama had 11 attempts.

      This one would make for 4 supposed attempts on the pedophile felon traitor’s worthless life.

      Although, quite curiously this regime has already stopped manufacturing their brainless hysteria about the previous ones.

      Other than of course their expected droolingly stupid lies designed to further the ever ballooning illegal construction theft of the bunker to hide mr. cadet bone spurs mcdraft-dodging little coward bitch.
