Trump: If I had known that the presidency of the United States was a "high-risk job", I would not have run for president

Planet Daily News: U.S. President Trump discussed the high-risk nature of the presidential position during a White House press conference on Friday (June 28) local time, and first disclosed the aftermath of last year's shooting incident. When a reporter asked about the security threats he faced, Trump mentioned the experience of being grazed by a bullet in his ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, saying, "It still suddenly hurts, but that's nothing, this is inherently a high-risk profession." Trump also compared the risks of different professions, stating, "Race car drivers have a 0.1% mortality rate, bullfighters also have a 0.1% mortality rate. These numbers seem low but do exist. The presidential mortality rate is as high as 5%. If someone had told me this earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have run for office. This is a dangerous profession." According to media reports, 4 out of 45 U.S. presidents in history have been assassinated, and several presidents and candidates have been shot. (Jin Shi)
