US President Donald Trump reflected on the threats that endangered his life on Friday, while the famous decision by which the US Supreme Court gave his administration increased powers for implementing political agenda, reports Reuters.
Asked by a reporter about these threats, the Republican suggested that he occasionally remembers the moment he was scratched by a bullet in his ear during a pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13, 2024.
“I feel that feeling of rumor from time to time,” Trump said. “But you know what? It's all right. That's a dangerous job,” the American leader continued.
He made these statements during the press conference organized at the White House after the decision of the Supreme Court, which gave Trump, restricting the ability of federal judges to suspend the administration policies at national level.
“A very dangerous profession”
On Friday, the businessman who transformed into a politician described the presidency as even more risky than some of the most dangerous professions.
“We have as an example the racing pilots, 1/10 out of 1%(1 in 1,000, no) die. Tauri riders, 1/10 of 1%. It is not much, but it is people. When you are president, it is about 5%.
Four of the 45 presidents in US history have been assassinated. A few other presidents and candidates have been shot throughout the time.
Donald Trump has faced several threats that endangered his life. The officials of the law enforcement authorities say that the current president survived an assassination attempt on September 15, 2024, when he played Golf on his field in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect in that file pleaded innocent in front of the five federal accusations.
The suspect of the July 2024 armed attack was shot dead by the Secret Service Agents. A person who participated in the electoral rally died in the attack, and two others were injured.
Separately, the US said that the body of the Islamic revolutionary guards in Iran also tried to assassinate Trump. Iran, whose nuclear installations were bombarded by American forces last weekend, denied the accusations.
