BlockBeats reported that on April 26, US President Trump appeared at two highly controversial political events within 24 hours: during the day, he attended a luncheon at Mar-a-Lago in Florida for TRUMP token holders, and in the evening, he returned to Washington to attend the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner, where he was evacuated by the Secret Service after a shooting incident just before his speech. The luncheon for TRUMP token holders was held under highly controversial circumstances. Prior to the event, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and others had jointly requested that Congress investigate whether the Trump family profited from crypto projects. The Trump family collects fees from every TRUMP token transaction. However, the price of TRUMP tokens has fallen by more than 95% from its 2025 peak, and briefly dropped below $3 in early April. At the event, Trump warned the banking industry not to obstruct crypto legislation, saying, "The White House will not let banks destroy market structure legislation for crypto." After returning to Washington, Trump attended the WHCA dinner for the first time as president. He had boycotted the event for four consecutive years during his first term and was absent in 2025 as well. Ahead of this year’s attendance, over 250 journalists signed an open letter opposing his participation. At 8:35 PM Eastern Time, five to eight gunshots were heard near the main security entrance outside the banquet hall. Trump was evacuated by the Secret Service before his speech, and the "very intense" speech that was prepared was not delivered. Thanks to a bulletproof vest, a Secret Service agent was unharmed; the suspect was arrested and neither Trump nor cabinet members were injured. Afterwards, Trump returned to the White House to hold a press conference, calling for "peaceful resolution of differences" and stating that the dinner would be rescheduled within 30 days. When asked why such incidents kept occurring, he responded, "Only the most influential and effective people get targeted. I don’t really want to say this, but I feel honored." Trump’s “two events in one day” highlight the two most contentious themes of his second term: conflicts over crypto business interests and strained relations between the White House and the media. The shooting in the evening has also brought the issue of his personal safety to the forefront, forming a third, underlying tension.
