Just hours after an armed gunman opened fire inside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Donald Trump held a no-holds-barred press conference from the White House late Saturday night, during which he explained that he is “honored,” in a way, by the multiple assassination attempts.
In one of the most powerful moments of the briefing, Trump responded directly to a reporter’s question about why assassination attempts keep happening to him.
“The ones that do the most, they go after. They go after impactful people,” Trump stated. “I hate to say I’m honored by that.”
