May 1981. President Ronald Reagan is giving a speech at an Air Force base in West Berlin when a balloon pops loudly. Only two months previously, the President had been shot in an attempt on his life, not long after beginning his first term.

Reagan's response:

I'm considering posting a few more videos like this. Maybe it'll be a weekly thing.

OK, I'll do it I get another 100 followers. Deal? :)
Important: The video is from 1987, not 1981. I wish I could edit the tweet but it's not possible. Ah well.
A. You're nit-picking. The year is not of great importance here. B. It's an honest error. C. I've accepted the evidence you brought and wrote that you're right. D. Because of the way Twitter works, people see my responses before others'. The clarification is visible.
BTW, somebody else also noticed. What was my response? https://twitter.com/emanumiller/status/1060663963917185024?s=19
