On Monday, April 14, 2025, political commentators Sam Stein and Will Sommer hosted a live discussion on the Bulwark+ Takes platform, analyzing how allies of former President Donald Trump are using the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) shooting to promote a new ballroom trend.

The incident, which occurred during the WHCD on Saturday, April 12, 2025, has become a focal point for Trump’s supporters, who are framing it as a symbol of resilience and defiance. The discussion also delved into the individual reactions from Trump’s cabinet members, highlighting their responses to the shooting and its aftermath.

Additionally, the conversation addressed the chaotic altercation that erupted at a Substack party held later that evening. The incident has since sparked widespread debate and speculation about the political and social implications of the shooting.
