Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a> got candid about his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, following the multiple assassination attempts against him, as well as who he thinks is behind them.
During comedian Andrew Schulz’s “Flagrant” podcast, the hosts asked Trump if he was “scared” to return to the scene of the shooting where one supporter was killed and two others severely injured.
“No, I’m not scared,” the president replied. “I sort of have an attitude, it is what it is. You do what you have to do. I felt it was important to go back.”
“A lot of people agreed with me,” he added, noting the huge turnout, before he cracked a joke about how a person doesn’t usually get that kind of turnout without some kind of musical skills.
“And I had no guitar. If you have a guitar, it’s easy,” Trump joked, adding how the crowd went “crazy” when he took the stage and quipped, “As I was saying.”
“So, we were at a very serious and somber [event], because we were celebrating a life that is no longer with us, and I wasn’t sure … I wanted to actually finish my speech,” Trump said. “When I got up [after being shot at], I said, ‘Let me finish my speech.’”

“You know, when I went down it was sort of like, embarrassed, I said, ‘I went down in front of all these people, I don’t want to be embarrassed,'&#8221; he added, saying it wasn’t a situation he would describe as “surreal” because he was totally aware of everything that had just happened.
The former president was pressed multiple times about who he thought could be behind the assassination attempts, before he finally said that he hated answering the question because he doesn’t want to give “any false identities.”
“You would look at Iran. Iran has an open threat out for me,” Trump said. “And Biden, if he were a real president … should say, ‘Anybody shoots a former president … we will bomb that country into oblivion.'&#8221;
“And it would stop,” he added. “There have been people who have been threatened in another party, even … what you have to inform those people is, if they do it, [their] country will be blown to smithereens … and those threats go away.”
At one point, Trump also appeared to hit back at a recent <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/06/us/politics/trump-speeches-age-cognitive-decline.html">New York Times</a> headline that read, “Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age.”
Trump said what he does is called “The Weave” and then described it, saying it actually takes a great deal of memory to do it.
“You know, I do a thing called the weave,” Trump said. “And there are those who say, ‘Oh this guy is so genius.’ Others who say, ‘Oh he rambles.’”
“I don’t ramble,” he added. “What you do, you weave things in. … You need to have an extraordinary memory because you have to come back where you started from. I can go so far here or there. And I can come back to exactly where I started.”
