Trump Campaigns for First Time Since Apparent Assassination Attempt
For the first time since the reported attempt on his life, Donald Trump, former President and leveling for the US Presidential elections 2024, resumed his campaign trail. Addressing his supporters, Trump termed being president as a “dangerous business,” reflecting on the recent events that unfolded in Florida last Sunday.
‘Presidency – A Dangerous Business’
Scanning the crowd with his well-known steely gaze, Trump said, “Being a president, that’s a dangerous business,” he paused before continuing, “But I’ve always known it, and I’m here standing before you all, going for it once again.” The comment was his first public acknowledgment of the alleged assassination attempt that targeted him in Florida.

The former President emphasized his commitment to the upcoming elections by reassuring his supporters of his readiness to continue the election battle with even more vigor. “I’m here, aren’t I?”, he said, “And I’m not backing down.” His words were met with roaring approval from the audience, displaying their unwavering support for their chosen contender.
Federal Investigation Underway
Considering the gravity of the aforementioned event towards potential threats to national security, federal authorities are conducting an intense investigation into the alleged assassination attempt.
