Trump Gloats at Town Hall: ‘Only Consequential Presidents Get Shot at’
Former President Donald Trump seemed entirely unbothered by the second alleged assassination attempt on his life as he kicked off a town hall on Tuesday night in Flint, Michigan.
Trump took the stage alongside Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and immediately launched into his signature stream of speech. The GOP presidential nominee jumped from car makers to COVID-19–which he called the “China virus”–to his “very nice” call with Vice President Kamala Harris. But first, he seemed to address the presumed assassination attempt at his golf course in Florida.
“It’s a dangerous business being president,” said Trump, addressing the audience.“It’s a little bit dangerous.” He then went on to brush off the number of assassination attempts against him with a boast.
