On April 26th, U.S. President Trump appeared at two highly controversial events within 24 hours: during the day, he attended a luncheon for TRUMP token holders at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, and in the evening, he returned to Washington to attend the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner, where he was evacuated by Secret Service after a shooting incident just before his speech. The background of the TRUMP token holder luncheon was filled with controversy. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and others had jointly called for Congress to investigate whether the Trump family profited from the crypto project prior to the event. The Trump family charges a fee on each TRUMP token transaction. However, the TRUMP token price has fallen over 95% from its peak in 2025, dropping below $3 at one point in early April. Trump warned the banking industry not to obstruct crypto legislation at the event, stating, "The White House will not let banks destroy the legislative structure of the crypto market."

After returning to Washington, Trump attended the WHCA dinner for the first time as president. He had boycotted it for four consecutive years during his first term and was absent in 2025. Before this year's attendance, over 250 journalists signed an open letter opposing his participation. At 8:35 p.m. Eastern Time, near the main security checkpoint outside the main magnet door of the banquet hall, gunshots rang out five to eight times. Trump was evacuated by Secret Service before his speech, which was originally planned to be "very intense," but it was not delivered. One Secret Service agent was unharmed thanks to a bulletproof vest, and the suspect was arrested. Trump and his cabinet members were uninjured. Afterwards, Trump returned to the White House for a press conference, calling for a "peaceful resolution of differences," and stated that the dinner would be rescheduled within 30 days. When asked why such incidents keep happening, he said, "The most influential and capable people are the ones being targeted. I don't want to say it that way, but I feel honored."

Trump's "two events on the same day" represent the two most controversial main issues of his second term—conflicts of interest in crypto business and the rift between the White House and the media. The shooting incident in the evening added a third underlying concern: his personal safety, which overshadowed the two controversies. #加密市场行情震荡
