Former President Donald Trump expressed his desire to maintain his freedom of movement despite the Secret Service's security measures following an apparent assassination attempt on Sunday. Trump emphasized that while he will comply with the Secret Service's directives, he hopes to continue leading his life as usual, including playing golf.
The incident occurred while Trump was playing golf at his course in Palm Beach, Florida. Reflecting on the incident, Trump highlighted the importance of not allowing security concerns to restrict his activities due to the presence of individuals he described as 'crazy people' or 'bad people.'
During a campaign stop in New York City, Trump acknowledged the need for the Secret Service to assess safety risks but also stressed the importance of maintaining personal autonomy. He stated, 'You just don’t want them dictating to you where you should go and what you should do.'
When questioned about feeling constrained by security protocols, Trump denied feeling hemmed in but reiterated his commitment to leading his life and working towards 'making America great again.'
