Trump said on Truth Social shortly after the incident that he wanted to continue with the event, but that law enforcement had requested that he leave the premises, “consistent with protocol.”
“The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition,” he wrote, adding that the event would be rescheduled within 30 days.
Speaking to reporters at the White House later, Trump was asked why he had been targeted for assassination numerous times—including a near miss at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the 2024 presidential campaign.
“I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you the most impactful people, the people that do the most—you take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this, where they got them, but the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after,” he said.
