    Trump Gives Mysterious Answer To Burning Assassination Question — ‘Who Do You Think Tried To Take You Out?’

    By Tommy Christopher,

    Former President Donald Trump gave a mysterious answer when comedian and podcast host Andrew Schulz aasked “Who do you think tried to take you out?”

    Trump survived the July 13 assassination attempt that left him bloodied and Trump supporter and former firefighter Corey Comperatore dead as he shielded his family.

    Then in September, shots were fired by Secret Service agents at Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida as Trump played a round, in what turned out to be an assassination attempt allegedly carried out by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh .

    On Wednesday’s edition of the Flagrant podcast , Schulz matter-of-factly asked Trump who was behind the attempts, and Trump launched into a wandering monologue that went on for nearly ten minutes.

    Eventually, he got back to the question and offered a cryptic preface for why he “hated” to even answer — then spoke less directly about countries that want him dead:

    ANDREW SCHULZ: Who do you think tried to take you out?

    DONALD TRUMP: 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.

    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.

    ANDREW SCHULZ: To cross the line.

    DONALD TRUMP: 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.

    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.
