Former president says Secret Service responded quickly to shots and evacuated him from golf course as investigations begin into how suspect got so close
During his appearance on a social media channel to promote a new cryptocurrency venture, former president Donald Trump had some conciliatory words president Joe Biden’s response to an apparent second assassination attempt on Trump in the space of a few weeks.
Trump said:
He was very nice today, he called up to make sure I was OK, to make sure, [and ask] do I have any suggestions. We do need more people on my detail, because we have 50,000, 60,000 people showing up to events, and, you know, other people don’t have that, but he couldn’t have been nicer.
Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country – both from the inside and out. These are people that want to destroy our country. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat.
