BBC reported that Trump was unharmed in the shooting at the White House reporters’ dinner, and the suspect was taken into custody. As the news report shows, BBC and some other media outlets have directly accepted that the attack was aimed at Trump. However, there is only an alleged gunshot, but there is no definitive information about who was shot, where, or when. Some media outlets, including the BBC, have preemptively accepted that the attack was against Trump.
However, some TV channels, primarily CNN, have begun to ask important questions about the attack. Our BBC should also be asking these questions, but like typical pro-US media, it has immediately accepted the claim of an assassination attempt against Trump.
However, no one has yet answered the following questions:
How was the suspect, said to be 31 years old, admitted to the dinner with reporters? What did Secret Service agents do when journalists and other guests were invited to this dinner?
Is the suspect actually a Secret Service agent?
The suspect is said to have a lengthy criminal record. No one has explained how someone like that got into that meeting. Was the suspect working for the secret service? Why would he be able to enter that ball, armed?
Why is it automatically said that Trump was the target? It’s claimed that the suspect fired the weapon, but the weapon hasn’t been found. What happened to the magnificent power of the FBI and CIA secret services, the stuff of movies? Were they all just movies?
Was this an assassination attempt, or an effort to restore Trump’s tarnished reputation in American public opinion?
The heroic Trump, the one who sets the tone for the world, the one who challenges the world, was caught like a crow and hastily removed from the hall. Is Trump’s heroism only valid when surrounded by a large security detail?
There are many questions, but unfortunately, some media outlets accept these questions without asking them.
