""It's not a particularly secure building," Trump said of the Washington Hilton at a press conference after the shooting. "And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all the attributes of what we're planning at the White House.""
""Today, we need levels of security probably nobody has seen before," he said, referencing the need for enhanced safety measures following his experiences with assassination attempts."
""In light of this evening's events, I ask all Americans recommit to resolving our differences peacefully," Trump stated after the shooting incident."
Trump expressed concerns about security at the Washington Hilton after a shooting incident, linking it to previous assassination attempts on his life. He mentioned the need for enhanced security measures, including a secure bunker in the White House ballroom. Trump survived an assassination attempt in 2024 and another incident at his Florida golf course. He attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner for the first time since his presidency, intending to address media criticism. The dinner was canceled due to the shooting but may be rescheduled soon.
