Odaily News U.S. President Trump talked about the high risk of the presidency at a White House press conference on Friday (June 28) local time, and disclosed for the first time the sequelae of last year's shooting. When reporters asked about the security threats he faced, Trump mentioned his experience of being scratched by a bullet in his ear at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, saying, "It still hurts suddenly, but it's nothing, this is a high-risk job." Trump also compared the risks of different occupations. He said, "The mortality rate of racers is 0.1%, and the mortality rate of bullfighters is also 0.1%. This number does not seem high, but it does exist. The mortality rate of the president is as high as 5%. If someone had told me at the time, maybe I would not have run for election. This is a dangerous job." According to media reports, 4 of the 45 presidents in American history were assassinated, and several other presidents and candidates were shot. (Jinshi Data APP)
