redstate.com President Donald Trump stood tall, stalwart, and amazingly calm as he fielded questions from the press in the wake of the third assassination attempt on his life in 21 months.
Fox News White House senior correspondent Peter Doocy had a two-part question for the president, but it was the second portion that elicited this profound response.
Doocy said, “I ask, respectfully: Why do you think this keeps happening to you?”
Trump was pensive and deliberate in his answer.
Well… you know, I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you that the most impactful people, the people that do the most, you take a look at the people… Abraham Lincoln, the people who have gone through this, where they got ’em. But, the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.
They don’t go after the ones who don’t do much because they like it that way. And when you look at the people who have, whether it was an attempt, or a successful attempt, they’re very impactful people. Just take a look at the names. They’re the big names. And, uh, I hate to say I’m honored by that, but I’ve done a lot, we’ve done a lot. We’ve taken this country and we were a laughingstock for years, and now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. We’ve changed this country, and there are a lot of people who are not happy about that. So, I think that’s the answer, Peter.
