Speaking on stage for the first time since an apparent assassination attempt, Donald Trump said being president is more dangerous than driving a race-car. He also praised a driver near to the incident on Sunday for doing something he said wouldn't happen in 1,000 situations.
Being a president is more dangerous than bull-riding, Donald Trump said at his first town hall event since an apparent attempt on his life. A suspect in a potential assassination attempt against Mr Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday has been charged with two federal gun crimes. Speaking 48 hours after that incident at a town hall event in Flint, Michigan, where he took questions from supporters, he said being president is a 'dangerous business'.
The FBI says an investigation is in its 'early stages', with several questions remaining unanswered from the incident that comes just weeks after he was shot at during a Pennsylvania rally. 'I have to say, Secret Service did a hell of a job, they really did,' Mr Trump said at the Michigan event.
