As per usual with American politics, you just can't make this stuff up.
Minutes before a gunman burst into the Wbite House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC, guns a-blazimg, a heavily-pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made some rather prescient comments:
"This speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump. It will be funny. It will be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room."
Now, that's not just prescient, it's a very strange choice of words. Not to say downright suspicious. In different circumstances, Ms. Leavitt might well have been bundled off in a police car for her comments, baby bump and all. As Trump's sycophant-in-chief, though, she is presumably above suspicion.
Unless, of course, the shooting was staged, and Ms. Leavitt just blurted her words out accidentally or unthinkingly. Or, conceivably, she was being too cute by half (unlikely - "cute" is not an adjective that applies to her hawkish and aggressive puble persona).
