They might have got tips from those in California or relatives that he was getting in way to deep and he might take action. Trump has NEVER attended a Correspondents dinner as Pres but NOW poof,lets hold one. Hell...the FBI probably followed the guy from CA to DC and were ready knowing this guy could never make it all the way downstairs to Trump. Hell...this reminds me of Lee Harvey Oswald,they had a full dossier on this guy's life in 30 minutes after this happened.

That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

I think too the Fuhrer will cancel that next CD that he so adamantly claimed they would do in thirty days. They got what they wanted and were all smiles and yucking it up for a photo just thirty minutes later,they don't need another dinner.
