This is an interesting question:
Um, how bad is it that the president was extracted last? Am I seeing that right? I have a hundred questions. Most of them I have been asking for more than 10 years. Not much seems to change and it’s dangerous. https://t.co/15UvaduJok

Gunshots rang out at the hotel where the formal White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held, where Donald Trump was preparing to address top US journalists on Saturday evening.
Dramatic footage from the scene shows personnel rushing on stage to pullTrump, his wife, Melania, and several other top administration officials.
Secret Service members clutched onto the Vice President and yanked him out of his seat as the chaos unfolded.
Forensic lipreader Nicola Hickling revealed that a bodyguard apparently went up to Vance shouting: ‘Run, f***ing run.’
Officials said the attacker was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives when he charged at a security checkpoint by the ballroom.
Trump later posted pictures of the suspect in the shooting lying face down on the carpeted floor, topless.
US outlets identified him as Cole Thomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, California.
