Trump Expresses Safety Concerns Amidst Assassination Attempts

Former President Donald Trump reveals apprehensions about his family's safety following two recent assassination attempts.

According to The Post Millennial, Trump shared his concerns in a Fox News interview with Brian Kilmeade that aired on Saturday.

The interview comes in the wake of two assassination attempts, one in West Palm Beach on September 15 and another in Butler, PA, just over two months prior.

During the interview, Trump expressed worry for his family and the safety of all Americans. He attributed the increased danger to the influx of illegal immigrants under the Biden-Harris administration, stating that the country is "under siege" and that no nation has ever suffered to this extent in such a short period.

Trump's Concerns Extend Beyond Personal Safety

When asked about his family's safety, Trump responded:

I do. I do. I don't talk about it, but I do. I have to worry about family. I have to worry about everybody. I worry about you.

The former president's concerns stem from the recent assassination attempts and what he perceives as a deteriorating safety situation across the country.

Trump emphasized the impact of illegal immigration on public safety, mentioning that immigrants from prisons, mental institutions, and even potential terrorists have been allowed into the country.

He cited New York as an example, claiming that children can no longer play Little League baseball in parks due to the influx.

Recent Assassination Attempts Raise Security Questions

The interview follows two serious security incidents involving the former president. On July 13, Trump was reportedly shot in the ear while speaking at a rally in Butler, PA. More recently, on September 15, another assassination attempt occurred in West Palm Beach.

The latest incident involved Ryan Wesley Routh, a 58-year-old Democratic activist accused of attempting to assassinate Trump with an AK-style firearm. Routh had allegedly been camping on the perimeter of a West Palm Beach golf course for 12 hours prior to the attempt.

These incidents have led to mounting criticism of the United States Secret Service (USSS). Acting USSS Director Ronald Rowe visited West Palm Beach following Routh's arrest, admitting that the perimeter of the golf course had not been searched because a golf game was not on Trump's "official schedule."

Upcoming Vice Presidential Debate And Media Bias

During the interview, Trump also commented on the upcoming vice presidential debate between Republican candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Democratic candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

The former president expressed skepticism about the fairness of the debate, given his perception of media bias.

Trump stated that while he doesn't believe Vance will receive fair treatment from CBS News moderators Margaret Brennan and Norah O'Donnell, he is confident in Vance's abilities. He praised his running mate, describing him as tough, smart, and patriotic.

The discussion of media bias follows growing public awareness of potential unfairness in the recent presidential debate between Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump and his supporters have increasingly criticized the ABC moderators for what they perceive as biased treatment during that contest.

Conclusion

Trump's interview highlighted his concerns about personal and national safety in light of recent assassination attempts. The former president linked these security issues to illegal immigration and criticized the current administration's policies.

Additionally, Trump expressed confidence in his running mate for the upcoming vice presidential debate while voicing concerns about potential media bias in the event.
