La cena de corresponsales de la Casa Blanca es ese momento en el que la mayor parte de los reporteros de Washington que cubren al presidente se visten de gala y se toman la noche libre. La de este sábado acabó con decenas de ellos −con esmoquin, los hombres; traje largo, ellas− en la sala de prensa de la Casa Blanca tras el atentado que habían presenciado (o, más bien, oído a lo lejos) horas antes en el hotel Hilton, de Washington, donde el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, se disponía a dar un discurso en un festejo que mezcla periodismo y poder.
Trump compareció con pajarita tras el atril de la sala de prensa para contar que el sospechoso estaba detenido y que un policía estaba herido. También dijo que cuando sonaron los tiros, que el sospechoso, “un lobo solitario”, según el presidente de Estados Unidos, disparó en el vestíbulo del hotel en las inmediaciones de un control de seguridad, pensó que eran el sonido de una “bandeja que se había caído”
“Estos atentados les suceden a las personas que más hacen”, dijo Trump, que se colocó en la estirpe de Lincoln o Kennedy, asesinados cuando eran presidentes de Estados Unidos. “He estudiado otros magnicidios y siempre les pasan a las personas que mayor impacto tienen, a los que más hacen”, añadió.

00:00Bueno, you know, I've studied assassinations and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the
00:10most, you take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean, you go through the people that have gone
00:17through this, where they got them, but the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact,
00:24they're the ones that they go after.
00:26They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way.
00:31And when you look at the people that have either, whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, they're
00:39very impactful people.
00:40Just take a look at the names here, the big names.
00:44And I hate to say I'm honored by that, but I've done a lot.
00:49We've done a lot.
00:49We have, we've taken this country and we were a laughingstock for years and now we're the hottest country anywhere
00:56in the world.
00:57We've changed this country and there are a lot of people that are not happy about that.
01:10That's a very good question, actually.
01:12It was, it's always shocking when something like this happens, happened to me a little bit and that never changes.
01:21The fact, we were sitting right next to each other, first lady on my right, and I heard a noise
01:28and sort of thought it was a tray.
01:30I thought it was a tray going down.
01:33You know, I've heard that many times and it was pretty loud noise and it was from quite far away.
01:38He hadn't breached the area at all.
01:41They really got him.
01:42But, so it was quite far away, but it was a gun.
01:46And some people really understood that pretty quickly.
01:50Other people didn't.
01:51I was watching to see what was happening.
01:54Probably should have gone down even faster.
01:57Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened.
02:01I think she knew immediately what happened.
02:03She was saying, that's a bad noise.
02:09And we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really whisked away.
02:14This could be politically motivated.
02:17All violence.
02:17I'm concerned about everything.
02:19But I can't be so concerned that you can't function.
02:22No, I'm here.
02:24It's a dangerous profession.
02:26You know, I tell the story, race car drivers, I think it's very dangerous.
02:32So, if you take 1% and then take about 10% of 1%, just to break it down very
02:39easily, they die.
02:40So, much less than 1%, 10% of 1%.
02:44I think bull riding is very dangerous.
02:47If you take about the same 10% of 1%, much less than 1%.
02:53But if you take presidents, it's 5.8%.
02:56And about 8% are shot at.
03:02So, nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession.
03:06If Marco would have told me, maybe I wouldn't have run.
03:09Maybe I would have said, I'll take a pass.
03:11No, it's a dangerous profession.
03:13But I don't view it that way.
03:14Look, I'm here to do a job.
03:17It's part of the job.
03:18And we're going to reschedule.
03:19We're going to do it again.
03:21We're not going to let anybody take over our society.
03:23We're not going to cancel things out.
03:25Because we can't do that.
03:27We wanted to say tonight, I will tell you, I fought like hell this day.
