Donald Trump's Latest Theory For Why He's Been Repeatedly Targeted Is Going Viral

Posted 26 minutes ago

On Saturday, Donald Trump survived his third attack after gunshots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The alleged suspect reportedly wrote a manifesto criticizing the Trump administration, and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN, "From our preliminary investigation, it does appear the suspect was targeting members of the administration." 

After being evacuated, Trump spoke to the White House press corps, where one reporter asked him: "Respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?"

"Well, you know, 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 'em," Trump said.

"But the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after. They don't go after the ones that don't do much 'cause they like it that way."

"And when you look at the people that have either, whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, they're very impactful people. Just take a look at the names. The big names. And, I hate to say I'm honored by that, but I've done a lot. We've done a lot... We've changed this country, and there are a lot of people that are not happy about that."
