Donald Trump's account of how he reacted to a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington on Saturday is fuelling fresh scrutiny of the former president's condition, after online commentator David Pakman claimed video of the incident shows a 'decline' that Trump himself refuses to acknowledge.
The alarm was raised at the Washington Hilton when shots were heard near the venue hosting the annual dinner, a staple of the US political calendar that draws journalists, politicians and celebrities. Nobody was killed, but the scare triggered a rapid response from Secret Service agents, who moved to shield Trump and escort him away from the stage. It was those few chaotic moments now captured and replayed in multiple clips that have become the latest flashpoint in the long-running argument over Trump's age, fitness and grip on reality.
