Trump admits to not feeling safe on campaign trail: Attempts on my life mean I'm 'doing the right thing'
Former President Trump admitted to not feeling safe on the campaign trail during an exclusive sit-down interview with Fox Nation host Kellyanne Conway, where he told his former senior counselor that the risks he faces mean he's "doing the right thing."
"I'm in a very dangerous position and, sadly, it's only consequential presidents that this happens to," he said during a recent episode of "Here's the Deal with Kellyanne."
"I have a lot of enemies because I'm doing the right thing. This ‘MAGA’ is a great thing because it says it better than anything anybody can say. I want to make America great again, and that's what we're doing. We have more support, I think, than anybody's ever had, and I think we're going to have a great election."
MULTIPLE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS PUT ON LEAVE FOLLOWING TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
Trump narrowly dodged death twice, once at an open-air rally outside Butler, Pennsylvania, in July and another at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, Florida, in September.
He first escaped a bullet that would have struck his skull if not for a fateful last-second turn. Instead, the bullet struck his ear, sending blood streaming down one side of his face as he dropped to the floor, surrounded by Secret Service agents as the threat – 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks – was neutralized.
His life was spared a second time when a Secret Service agent spotted the barrel of a gun pointing through a fence and immediately opened fire, sending suspect Ryan Wesley Routh fleeing until he was apprehended shortly after.
Though his Secret Service detail now matches that of an incumbent president, both incidents ignited a flurry of concerns that the Republican candidate could still be in danger.
