Trump's 'decline' just became 'impossible to ignore' after press dinner shooting: analyst
President Donald Trump showed the world that his mental and physical decline has become "impossible to ignore" following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, according to one analyst.
In an interview following the shooting, during which no one was killed, Trump said that he "didn't make it easy" on Secret Service agents who tried to rush him away from the Washington Hilton, where the event was being held. Instead, Trump said that he was fighting to stay and figure out what was going on.
David Pakman, host of "The David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a new reaction video that footage of the event does not line up with Trump's explanation of what happened. That juxtaposition illustrates how far Trump is in decline, according to Pakman.
"Now, as we are starting to debrief and kind of process everything that took place, it's impossible to ignore that the entire thing again is a reminder of the degree to which Donald Trump is declining," Pakman said.
Video from the event shows a swarm of Secret Service agents surrounding Trump to protect him and get him off the stage. It appears as though Trump has a hard time walking off of the stage, as he falls to the ground during the effort.
"Donald Trump's denials of what is on video are only further raising questions as to what is wrong with this guy," Pakman said. "And this is not about the politics of it so much as it is about, 'hey, we have the ability to look at what's going on.'"
"Then we have someone telling us what your eyes show you was not really what took place," Pakman added about Trump's denials that he fell.
