Kimmel's Parody, Trump's Dinner: Chaos Unfolds

0:00On April 26th, Jimmy Kimmel dropped the hilarious parody of the White House correspondence dinner on his late-night show, Roasting President Trump and First Lady Melania just days before the real event went down. He played up their distant vibe and joked about her birthday plans, keeping it all light and satirical ahead of Trump's first in-person appearance, there as President. The dinner is this big annual bash, put on by journalists to celebrate the press and raise money for scholarships, held at the Washington Hilton. This year, it pulled extra eyes because Trump showed up live, but things took a dark turn fast. A 31-year-old guy from Torrance, California, named Cole Allen, rushed a secret service checkpoint armed to the teeth and fired at an officer. The officer got hit but his vest saved him, an agent shot back, taking Allen down and getting him medical help too. Trump, Melania, and top officials got hustled out by security right away, turning the night chaotic and overshadowing everything else.
