Trump Just Responded To The Correspondents' Dinner Shooter's Manifesto—And Norah O'Donnell's Reaction Is Priceless

youtu.beThroughout Trump's first term as President, he eschewed the WHCD, called for hosts to be canceled, and mocked the annual event online to the delight of his MAGA minions. He skipped the 2025 event as well.It came as a surprise that Trump planned to not only attend this year's WHCD, but was slated to speak. On the red carpet that night, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared shots will be fired in the room and that the POTUS wrote his own classic Donald J. Trump speech.But around 8:30pm, an alleged assassin exchanged gunfire with law enforcement, and the WHCD attendees, which included most of the Trump's administration, were evacuated.Our brave Stephen Miller is using his pregnant wife as a human shield.[image or embed]— Hoodlum (@nothoodlum.bsky.social) April 26, 2026 at 1:40 AMBy Sunday, the alleged assassin's manifesto was released to the press. Norah O'Donnell asked Trump for his reaction to the manifesto during her 60 Minutes interview. But when O'Donnell read from it, the POTUS acted as if O'Donnell herself was attacking him.O'Donnell read:I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes...Trump lashed out, saying:I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people.You can see the moment here: The visibly angry POTUS added:Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody. O'Donnell interjected:Oh, do you think he was referring to you? Seemingly ignoring her question, Trump stated again:I’m not a pedophile.Narrator’s voice: ‘Trump is in fact a rapist and a pedophile’— Noel Casler Comedy (@noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social) April 26, 2026 at 7:21 PMTrump seemed triggered by his own interpretation that the manifesto was referring to his longtime friendships with registered sex offender and indicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Or to the more than 28 women who publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.Or to the 2024 ruling that Trump was liable for defamation when he called one of his rape accusers a liar or to when his late first wife Ivana Trump accused him of marital rape during a 1989/1990 divorce deposition.Neither the manifesto nor O'Donnell ever mentioned Epstein, Maxwell, or Trump by name in that passage. But, as the saying goes, a hit dog will holler.Trump said:You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me.Trump then repeated a lie he frequently tells in regards to allegations against him:I was totally exonerated.Trump has been convicted of multiple crimes, amassing 34 felonies, as well as being found liable in the defamation suit brought by E. Jean Carroll after he repeatedly called her a liar for saying he raped her. The judge ruled Trump's actions legally matched the definition of sexual assault and ordered he pay Carroll 88.3 million for saying she lied about the rape.Trump has not yet been totally exonerated in any case allowed to be investigated fully. Unactionable ethical, criminal, constitutional, regulatory, or civil violations aren't total exonerations. Best part was when Nora asked, “oh do you think he was talking about you?” She was fantastic in that moment!— IncognitoDorito (@ingognitodorito.bsky.social) April 28, 2026 at 2:45 AM Trump later told O'Donnell:You should be ashamed of yourself for reading that, because I’m not any of those things. You shouldn’t be reading that on ‘60 Minutes.’ You’re a disgrace.People were unsurprised Trump knew the manifesto was about himself even without his name being used. Trump going on 60 minutes and having to deny being a rapist and a pedophile was probably not how he hoped things would go.— Tea Pain (@teapainusa.bsky.social) April 26, 2026 at 10:33 PM The President doth protest too much, me thinks.— JFG (@jangreene.bsky.social) April 27, 2026 at 9:06 PMThe overwhelming majority, across social media, seem to believe Trump was somehow involved with criminal sexual acts.

Donald Trump is a rapist. Donald Trump is a traitor.

Maybe he's saving that outrage for his next interview.
