GUNMAN’S MANIFESTO IS ANTI-TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA COME TO LIFE. Like many a would-be killer before him, Cole Allen, the armed man who allegedly crashed into the White House correspondents’ dinner in hopes of killing President Donald Trump and top administration officials, wrote a manifesto explaining his actions.

It wasn’t a crazy manifesto, like the Unabomber. It wasn’t an identity-consumed manifesto, like the Tennessee transgender shooter. Instead, it was an oddly cheerful document, especially given that Allen appeared to expect to be killed in his attack. But more than anything, Allen’s manifesto resembled the reams of anti-Trump boilerplate one sees on some left-leaning social media.
