Upon being asked by comedian and podcast presenter Andrew Schulz, “Who do you believe attempted to take you out?” former President Donald Trump responded with a cryptic response.
Trump escaped the July 13 assassination attempt, which resulted in his injuries and the death of Corey Comperatore, a former firefighter and Trump supporter, who was protecting his family.
Subsequently, in September, Secret Service agents fired shots at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, while Trump was playing a round.
This incident was purportedly the result of an assassination attempt by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh.
Schulz inquired of Trump who was responsible for the endeavors on Wednesday’s episode of the Flagrant podcast.
Trump responded with an unusual monologue that lasted nearly ten minutes.
“So? So I’m going to give you some big breaking news. Because you’re I know the kind of show and it’s entertainment, but it’s also very serious…Let’s weave back to his question. This is where this is where it started. So weave back to it. So yeah, I sort of hate answering it because I don’t want to give any false identities. I don’t want to do anything having to do with creating something that isn’t there.” Trump said.
“You would look at Iran. Iran has an open threat out for me and that’s bad. And Biden, if he were a real president, if he were the kind of guy he should be, should say, if anybody shoots a former president who’s now the leading candidate, even though he’s leading against Democrats, we will bomb that country into oblivion and it would stop. And and that’s been said before with some people. You know, there have been people I won’t go into it, but there have been people that have been threatened in another party, even in the same party. It makes sense and probably happens pretty quickly. But in another party, you know, it’s hard for them to.” he added.
“To cross the line.” Schultz responded.
“To want to protect me. But it shouldn’t be hard. Other people have protected other people. And what you have to inform those people is if they do it, the country will be blown to smithereens. The entire country will be blown to smithereens. And those threats go away because that’s a really bad threat for a country. Forget about me. I’m an individual, but I represent something very important.” Trump continued.
“It’s a really terrible threat. Yeah. So, I mean, there are others that could be in that category. Look, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China at a level that no president no president took in anything. I had tariffs on China, took in hundreds of billions of dollars, is still there. That without me, they wouldn’t have those tariffs. So you could say–. But no, I think Iran would be the one.” he concluded.
