Trump Admits to Not Feeling Safe on Campaign Trail
Former President Donald Trump has admitted to not feeling safe on the campaign trail, attributing the risks he faces to his efforts to “make America great again.” In an exclusive interview with Fox Nation host Kellyanne Conway, Trump stated, “I’m in a very dangerous position and, sadly, it’s only consequential presidents that this happens to. I have a lot of enemies because I’m doing the right thing.”
Trump narrowly escaped death twice: once at an open-air rally outside Butler, Pennsylvania, and another at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, Florida. The incidents involved attempts by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks and 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, respectively. Despite these close calls, Trump has vowed to continue his campaign, blaming Biden-Harris rhetoric for the violence.
Trump is set to return to Butler, Pennsylvania, on October 5 to finish his speech from July 13, where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life. The Secret Service has bolstered its security measures for Trump, but concerns remain about the adequacy of protections for the former president.
The recent assassination attempts have reignited concerns about political violence and its implications for the election. Trump’s campaign is optimistic about recent developments, such as the intensifying conflict in the Middle East and devastating hurricanes, which they believe will provide a favorable boost in the closing weeks of the campaign.
The final 30 days of the campaign are expected to be fiercely competitive, with both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris locked in a neck-and-neck race across key battleground states. The Democratic Party is growing increasingly anxious about Harris’s relatively light campaign schedule, which has her holding fewer events and avoiding unscripted interactions with voters and the press.
