Trump shrugs off assassination attempts, remarking 'only consequential presidents get shot'
President Donald Trump laughed off the multiple assassination attempts against him, remarking that "only consequential presidents get shot" during an interview with his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen on Sunday.
Cohen released the second part of his two-part interview with Trump in which the two dived into additional topics, such as reports that Trump secretly boarded a separate military jet in response to a credible Iranian threat against his life.
The former Trump critic pointed out that this was only the latest in a series of attempts on the president's life.
"I'm so nauseated by them," Cohen said.
"There is a huge difference between vehemently disagreeing with a policy and then trying to literally assassinate the President of the United States." TRUMP'S DECADE OF ASSASSINATION THREATS RUNS FROM BUTLER SHOOTING TO LATEST GOLF CLUB BREACH "The one thing I would say to that.
If you read, only consequential presidents get shot," Trump quipped.
"Then do me a favor, please don't be consequential.
How's that?" Cohen said.
"I know.
Maybe I'll have to become less consequential," Trump responded.
Trump acknowledged that he has a "dangerous" job but added that he has "great people" looking after him.
