President Donald Trump\u2019s second term in office has involved several significant security threats and assassination attempts.<\/p>\n
His son, Eric Trump<\/a>, who accompanied the president on his trip to China, recently shared his thoughts on the multiple assassination attempts<\/a> on the 79-year-old.<\/p>\n Eric spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity as part of the Hang Out with Sean Hannity<\/a> podcast while on the plane to Beijing, where he reflected on the assassination attempts on his father and called it “absolutely infuriating.”<\/p>\n ‘Then They Tried to Kill Him Again’<\/p>\n Zeroing in on the July 2024 shooting incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed the upper part of Trump’s right ear, Eric said, “It’s a 130-yard shot. It\u2019s an unmissable shot if you are even remotely competent with a rifle. G-d knows what would\u2019ve happened to this country if they had killed him, which was obviously their intent.”<\/p>\n Talking about the fatal shooting of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, Eric said, “And then they did it to our friend, Charlie Kirk.”<\/p>\n “And then they tried to kill him again at the golf course. And obviously, you saw what happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. And there were plenty of others,” Eric added, referring to the assassination attempts on Trump.<\/p>\n Ivanka Trump Reacts to Pennsylvania Shooting Incident<\/p>\n The president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, broke down while talking about the 2024 shooting incident during an episode of The Diary of a CEO<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n She recalled, \u201cThere was a lot of commotion. The televisions were on, so I saw it almost immediately. I knew in real time in that moment that he was fine. I just knew it wasn\u2019t his time. I was horrified and scared and protective of my children, but I also didn\u2019t believe the worst possible outcome had transpired.”<\/p>\n Multiple Security Breaches<\/p>\n Apart from the 2024 Pennsylvania incident, Trump has been subjected to other assassination attempts as well, during his second term at the Oval Office.<\/p>\n On September 15, 2024, at the West Palm Beach Golf Course, a Secret Service agent noticed a rifle barrel sticking out from the bushes at the course’s border. This was found to be an attempted attack on the president.<\/p>\n The suspect, Ryan Routh, escaped the location but was later arrested. He was given a life sentence in February 2026, according to Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n In September 2025, an off-duty officer infiltrated Trump’s security team and appeared at the Ryder Cup golf event at Bethpage Black Course in New York. This triggered major security concerns.<\/p>\n He was armed and pretended to be a part of the team. The man, identified as Melvin Eng, was later revealed to have no designated position at the event.<\/p>\n In February 2026, a 21-year-old armed man entered the secure zone of the president\u2019s Florida resort.<\/p>\n He had a shotgun and a gas can but was stopped and shot by Secret Service agents at the north entrance.<\/p>\n The latest assassination attempt on the president was on April 25 during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n A 31-year-old man armed with a shotgun<\/a> ran past a security checkpoint while dinner was being served inside the Washington Hilton.<\/p>\n A Secret Service officer was shot in his protective vest before the suspect was arrested. The president was evacuated safely from the stage.<\/p>\n Read more at Morning Honey.<\/a><\/p>\n Get Morning Honey delivered right to your inbox.
