YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump has been the target of multiple assassination attempts, security incidents and violent threats over the course of his political career, from campaign rallies to official events, according to law enforcement records and public reporting. In the last three years, such incidents have occurred in Butler, Penn., West Palm Beach, Fla. and now Washington D.C.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump were hurried out of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner following a security scare on April 25 – an episode that revived questions about presidential safety less than two years after a confirmed assassination attempt and amid renewed concerns about political violence in the United States.
