Failed Trump Assassin Actually Made One Good Point In Otherwise TDS Riddled Manifesto

The would-be assassin who tried to gun down President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner accidentally landed one undeniable truth amid his unhinged anti-Trump tirade: the security surrounding the event was, once again, dangerously, almost criminally, lax.

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old California teacher charged in the April 25 shooting at the Washington Hilton, sent a manifesto to family members just minutes before opening fire. In it, he dubbed himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and vented raw hatred at the Trump administration. Yet buried in the rant was a crystal-clear observation about the event’s pathetic protection for the President, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the rest of the presidential line of succession all gathered in one room.

The assassin’s own words on security laid it bare. “Security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”

“Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit,” he also wrote, adding “I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.”

“I had instead expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo,” he also remarked.

He wasn’t alone in noticing. Multiple high-profile attendees at the glitzy dinner confirmed the exact same failures.

‘Mad Men’ Star January Jones Accuses Trump of ‘Staging’ WHCD Assassination Attempt

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old Kamala Harris donor who attended a “No Kings” rally and wrote in a manifesto about targeting Trump administration officials, was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Mad Men actress January Jones, however, said it was all a staged political production.

“Do you have a boring dinner party coming up, and lots of losers and fake friends have rsvp’d? Are you looking for help staging a small scale low risk assassination attempt to get out of it? Look no further, the US Government is your man, call us now at 1-800-wehate-americans,” the actress said in an Instagram Stories post over the weekend.

Jones, of course, isn’t the only Hollywood elite spewing conspiracies about Saturday night shooting.

Actress Mia Farrow took to the left-wing echo chamber Bluesky and promoted the conspiracy that Allen’s attack may have been part of an effort by President Trump to “raise his approval ratings.”

“He is forcing us to wonder ‘he has lost a war he is unable to end & is now so desperate to raise his approval ratings, would he …..’ ?” Mia Farrow posted to the social media platform on Sunday morning, linking to an Economist article. Farrow includes quotes in her missive that don’t come from the article she links to.

Neither Farrow nor Jones added specificity about how exactly Allen was part of a Trump administration-backed conspiracy or when he was brought in to, as Jones says, stage Saturday’s attack. Allen did apologize to his family, friends, students, and other loved ones before he travel to Washington, D.C., and initiated his weeks-long plan of attack.

The Left’s Rhetoric of Violence Against Republican Presidents

With now the third serious assassination attempt against President Trump on the books, it is an important juncture to examine the intellectual gleischaltung that encourages American society and global society to view Republican Presidents as the height of all evil. More than Kim Jong Un of North Korea, more than Vladimir Putin of Russia, more than Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, more than Chairman Xi of China, Republican Presidents are rhetorically imbued with intrinsic evil that requires all available means of persuasion — including assassination. Since the assassination of Lincoln, the press and academic culture have worked together to create a sense of moral purpose in killing Republican presidents. On July 11, 2007, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Betty Williams gave the keynote speech to the International Women’s Peace Conference in Dallas, Texas, and said (to laughter and applause from the audience):“I mean right now, I could kill George Bush, no problem. No, I don’t mean that. I mean — how could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.” As a Republican President, George W. Bush was subjected to a media and academic character assassination regimen that drove his approval into the 20s before he left office in 2009. A Methodist minister, Charles Moore hated President Bush so much that he immolated himself at Grand Saline, Texas in 2014. He expressed written regret that he lacked the courage to burn himself alive on the campus of SMU where George W. Bush’s Presidential library is located. In an academic study I conducted on journalistic usage of the word “kill” and its derivates within the same sentence of Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, I found this data:

Bush in 2001: 1,280

Obama in 2009: 2,608

Trump in 2017: 7,890

Actress Mia Farrow Suggests Trump May Have Staged WHCD Shooting to ‘Raise His Approval Ratings’

Actress Mia Farrow took to the Democrat digital echo chamber Bluesky and promoted the conspiracy that 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen charging through a metal detector before shooting a Secret Service agent in the chest during Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner may have been part of an effort by President Donald Trump to “raise his approval ratings.”

“He is forcing us to wonder ‘he has lost a war he is unable to end & is now so desperate to raise his approval ratings, would he …..’ ?” Mia Farrow posted to the social media platform on Sunday morning, linking to an Economist article. Farrow includes quotes in her missive that don’t come from the article she links to.

Her followers, however, agreed with her sentiment. “I call bullshit” one said.

“I think it was a false flag,” said another.

“All planned,” another said.

To be sure, Allen, a Kamala Harris donor, is the third person to make an attempt on President Trump’s life. CBS News reported that a relative of Allen “called police before last night’s from the White House Correspondents Association dinner incident.”

President Trump called Allen “a sick guy” during an interview on Fox News on Sunday morning.

Allen is set to appear in court on Monday where he is expected to face several federal charges.

As for Farrow, she’s no stranger to spreading conspiracies. She suggested in February that President Trump either killed or freed Ghislaine Maxwell and replaced her with a body double.

Cincinnati Teacher Posts Video Expressing Disappointment That Trump Assassination Attempt Failed

A teacher at a pre-K and kindergarten in Cincinnati, Ohio, is facing intense backlash and calls for her termination after posting a video expressing her disappointment that President Donald Trump survived the latest assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

Corinne Baum, whose LinkedIn says she is a teacher at The Children’s House in Cincinnati, a private Montessori-style school, posted a video lamenting the news that the gunman’s attempt on the president’s life had failed.

“Man, there’s been a few creators on here saying that like Friday or yesterday could have been the day, and then I wake up to THAT news but not THAT news,” Baum says in the video.

The “THAT news” she was hoping for was clearly the assassination of President Trump.

Instead, she woke up to reports that the 31-year-old suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, had been tackled and arrested by Secret Service after charging a security checkpoint.

WHCD Shooter’s BlueSky Account Reveals Violent ‘No Kings’ Protester’s Obsessive Anti-Trump Rants, Violent GIFs, JD Vance Attacks, and Pro-Ukraine Obsession

The 31-year-old California man arrested after opening fire while charging a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner on Saturday had a public Bluesky account filled with aggressively anti-Trump rhetoric, criticism of Vice President JD Vance, strong support for Ukraine, and imagery implying violence.

Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, faces federal charges after the attempted assassination at the Washington Hilton, where President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and other administration officials were in attendance.

In a manifesto sent to relatives, and since made public, Allen admitted to targeting Trump administration officials, and left writings in his hotel room describing Trump as a “pedophile, rapist, and traitor.”

Allen had checked into the Hilton the day before the event, having traveled by train from Los Angeles.

It has now been revealed that Allen was active on Bluesky under the handle “coldForce,” with eye emojis replacing the “o”s.

Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooter Cole Allen Mocked Secret Service ‘Incompetence’ in Manifesto: “If I was an Iranian agent…I could have brought a d*** Ma Deuce in here”

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old alleged gunman who tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner attended by President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., Saturday night in an attempt to assassinate Trump and Trump officials, mocked the “incompetence” of the Secret Service in a manifesto sent to family members ten minutes before the attack, according to a report by New York Post reporter Steven Nelson. (Allen’s brother notified New London, CT, police last night about the manifesto.)

An addition to President Trump, the Washington Hilton ballroom was filled with many high-ranking figures and officials including First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

In his manifesto, Allen wrote he was targeting the “highest ranking” official (Trump) on down, with an unexplained exception for Patel:“Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest”

Trump has expressed support for the handling of the attack by the Secret Service. Other senior administration officials have stated the security plan worked as the shooter did not gain entry to the ballroom where the dinner was being held and no protectees or guests were harmed.

Read White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen’s full anti-Trump manifesto

Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a sprawling manifesto to family members about 10 minutes before Saturday’s attack, sources told The Post.

The 1,052-word missive obtained by The Post Sunday morning — signed “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” — outlined his “rules of engagement” for the shooting and stated he believed it was his righteous duty to target administration officials.

Cole Allen’s manifesto in full:

Hello everybody!

So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.

I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.”

I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)

I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.

I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.

FBI swarm White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman’s home in California as investigators reveal lone wolf’s ‘money trail’ they’re following

The FBI raided the home of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter early Sunday, and investigators have said they are now examining his financial records as part of the probe. 

Chaos broke out inside the Washington Hilton after Cole Tomas Allen opened fire in the lobby Saturday night at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, DC.

The Secret Service rushed into action, securing President Donald Trump and thousands of guests attending the black-tie gala that brings politicians and journalists together.

A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the Daily Mail they believe Allen acted alone and are tracing his finances to determine how he paid for the hotel stay. 

Authorities gathered outside a California home linked to Allen, blocking off a residential street in Torrance with caution tape.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said officials believe the suspect traveled by train from California to Chicago and then on to Washington. He checked into the Hilton on Thursday.

Evidence found on Allen’s electronic devices and in his writings point towards the theory he intended to target administration members in attendance at the dinner.

Photos from the raid showed law enforcement in tactical gear and armored vehicles lining the street as officers assessed the scene, with officials telling the Daily Mail they were working to access Allen’s car. 

A source told the Daily Mail that this shooting had likely been planned for a while.

‘Obviously, this was well planned. Getting the reservation at that hotel was nearly impossible,’ they told Daily Mail.

WHCD Shooting Should Force a Serious Conversation About Teacher Bias in K–12 Education

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the suspect in the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.

Allen was taken into custody alive in the Hilton lobby near the security screening area.

But the more important part of this story is not just what happened—it is who the suspect is.

Allen is a highly educated professional. Reports indicate he attended the California Institute of Technology and recently earned a master’s degree in computer science. 

More importantly, he worked as a teacher and was even named “Teacher of the Month” in December 2024 at C2 Education in Torrance.

It’s not fair to say every teacher is responsible for this. That would be dishonest. There are many teachers who do their jobs well, focus on academics, and avoid pushing political views in the classroom.

But ignoring the broader pattern would be just as dishonest.

I spend a significant amount of time looking at how education functions in this country. The trend is clear. Schools have increasingly shifted away from neutral instruction and toward ideological influence.

Students are often exposed to one-sided narratives on complex political issues, with little room for disagreement or serious debate.
