Social media users highlight the irony after Karoline Leavitt urges viewers to tune in, saying Donald Trump will bring the heat and there will be “shots fired.”

Shots fired, the Secret Service rushes in, and they let Trump continue to sit there? And now they’re going to resume the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Trump still plans to deliver a speech?I’m not saying this was staged to boost Trump’s tanking approval numbers, but it looks odd.
