Washington: shooting at dinner attended by Trump

The US president knows how to capitalise on every moment, no matter how unsettling, writes Visão:

“Another shooter, another incident in a series that, by all accounts, is not over yet – either during or after his time in the White House. There is a raw energy, a persistent fury directed at Trump. … Trump knows there is a bounty on his head, yet he stokes this tension, plays on it. And in the wake of this near-tragedy, his two responses are simple: he speeds up the construction of the ballroom in the White House – the most secure place in the world – and praises the Secret Service. All calculated. As always.”
