President Donald Trump<\/a> joked he would look “20 pounds heavier” in a bulletproof vest after being shot at, while acknowledging the protection works and insisting he does not think about future threats.<\/p>\n

While speaking with reporters inside the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump was asked about potential security changes, including whether he would consider wearing a bulletproof vest following recent threats against him.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier,” he joked. “Some of these guys are physical specimens\u2026No, well, if you want to gain 20 to 25 pounds.”<\/p>\n

Trump then turned his attention to the Secret Service agent who was shot<\/a> Saturday after an armed man charged through security at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

“Frankly, the vest did an amazing job because it took a bullet close up,” Trump said. “He didn’t even want to go to the hospital. I mean, we sent him to the hospital just in case\u2026it’s still a hit, but he didn’t want to go to the hospital.”<\/p>\n

“The vest totally protected him,” the president continued. “Still a lot of power behind that shot, though. That’s like getting hit by Mike Tyson.”<\/p>\n

Trump said he has been asked about wearing a bulletproof vest, adding that it is something to consider. But he also said he does not like to consider wearing one because he would be giving in to a “bad element.”<\/p>\n

The president was then asked whether he was nervous about another assassination attempt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think about it,” Trump said. “And if I did, I wouldn\u2019t be doing a very good job here. I\u2019d be thinking about nothing but that. I don\u2019t think about it. I really don\u2019t think about it. If I did, I wouldn\u2019t be effective.”<\/p>\n

Trump has faced multiple assassination attempts in recent<\/a> years, including incidents at public events that prompted heightened security concerns and increased scrutiny of Secret Service protocols.<\/p>\n

In one recent case, a suspect was accused of charging toward Trump at a<\/a> Washington, D.C., event before being stopped by agents, underscoring the ongoing risks surrounding the president\u2019s public appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
