During the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Donald Trump was seen sitting calmly as gunshots erupted outside after an armed man allegedly attempted to target multiple people and was later charged with attempting to assassinate him. While others immediately froze or took cover, Trump initially remained seated.
Body language expert Dr. G said Trump appeared unusually calm and unfazed, noting his facial expression barely changed while people around him showed typical “freeze” and “flight” responses to sudden danger.
The expert suggested Trump may process or interpret danger differently than most people, which could explain his lack of visible reaction during the chaotic moment.
