Trump: If I had known that the president of the United States is a "high-risk profession", I may not have run for election in the first place

On June 28, US President Donald Trump talked about the high risk of the presidency at a White House press conference on Friday local time, and revealed for the first time the aftermath of last year's shooting. When asked by reporters about the security threats he faces, Trump referred to the experience of being grazed by a bullet in his ear at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, saying, "I still have a sudden pain, but it's okay, it's a high-risk occupation." Trump also compared the risks of different occupations. He said, "The death rate of race car drivers is 0.1%, and the death rate of matadors is 0.1%, which may not seem high but it does exist. The death rate of presidents is as high as 5%. If someone had told me, maybe I wouldn't have run. This is a dangerous profession. "According to media reports, four of the 45 presidents in the history of the United States were assassinated, and several presidents and candidates were shot.
