After Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump, rumors began circulating about predictions made prior to the attack. A new report suggests that just days before the former President narrowly escaped a bullet at a Pennsylvania rally, his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, expressed concerns about his safety in the upcoming election.
During a podcast with Sage Steele, recorded three days before the incident, Lara touched upon Donald’s security concerns and the efforts of the Secret Service to safeguard him, according to Nicki Swift. Lara was questioned about her worries regarding the possibility of Donald facing imprisonment. She responded, “I fear what extreme lengths could be gone to, because I think the idea that we have found ourselves where we are right now is shocking, and I don’t think I expected to see it, so sure, I fear that could happen.
And I fear even worse than prison for him, to be honest.” Speaking about Donald, Lara also disclosed that he probably doesn’t fear for his safety. She said, “I don’t think he thinks about it that much, to tell you the truth.” She added that this might make the Secret Service’s job much harder. As reported by USA Today, Lara mentioned, “I’m sure the Secret Service go crazy all the time, because he’s like, ‘I want to go over and say hi to all these people,’ and they’re like, ‘Sir …’. But you know, that’s why he is doing it.
He wants to connect with people.” She emphasized that personal interaction with voters is one of Donald’s strong qualities. “That’s where he shines and you really see the true nature of this man. You can put him in any crowd … It doesn’t matter where you send Donald Trump. He is authentic to the core and sometimes to a fault, I think, for some people. And he wants to be out there among people,” she stated.
Earlier in the podcast, Lara showed her concern for Donald, saying, “But I think about it a lot, certainly, and I know those of us who are close to him think about it a lot.” Following the tragic incident at Trump’s rally, the Trump campaign issued a statement: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.
He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.” The former President also took to his Truth Social account to share about the incident. He wrote, “I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania.”
He added, “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. Incredibly, such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.” Several world leaders also condemned the assassination attempt.
