News Topical, Digital Desk : US President Donald Trump spoke about the threats to his life during a press conference at the White House on Friday. In fact, the press conference was organized to celebrate the fact that the US Supreme Court has given the Presidential administration the freedom to implement its policies.
During the press conference, Trump recalled the attacks on him and how risky this position is. When a reporter asked Trump about the threat to his life, he recalled the incident of firing on him at the Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024.
Trump's statement on the presidency
During the shooting incident on Trump on July 13, 2024, a bullet grazed his ear. The US President said, “Sometimes the tingling of that bullet is still felt. This is a dangerous job.”
Trump also said that being president is one of the most dangerous professions. He said, "Race car drivers have a 0.1% chance of dying, bull riders have the same chance. But when you become president, this figure goes up to about 5%. If someone had told me this earlier, I probably wouldn't have contested the election."
Trump has been attacked many times
According to Trump, he has been attacked several times since becoming president. In another incident, he was attacked while playing golf in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 15, 2024. An accused in that case has been charged with five federal charges and has pleaded not guilty.
The man who attacked Trump during the event on July 13, 2024 was shot by the Secret Service. One person was killed and two others were injured at that rally.
Iran was also accused of murder conspiracy
It has also been said from the US side that Iran's special army 'Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' had conspired to kill Trump. Recently, the US has carried out air strikes on Iran's nuclear bases.
Currently, Trump is completing his second term and has tried to further increase the powers of the presidency. He has been continuously attacking his political opponents and has also announced strict action against them.
Political Violence in America
These days, the US is witnessing the most serious political violence since the 1970s. According to a Reuters report, more than 300 incidents of political violence have been recorded since the attack by Trump supporters on the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
