“Trump Claims ‘Only Consequential Presidents Get Shot At’ During Michigan Town Hall”

During a recent town hall event in Michigan, Donald Trump addressed a variety of topics, including the challenges of running for president, which he described as a "dangerous business." This statement came in the wake of an apparent assassination attempt on him the previous Sunday. Trump, who is currently the Republican nominee, participated in the event alongside . He discussed issues such as the future of the U.S. auto industry and climate change, the latter of which he dismissed with mockery. Additionally, he responded to Vice President Kamala Harris's characterization of him as "rambling," asserting that his comments were more "productive" than her campaign rhetoric. In a lengthy and somewhat convoluted response, Trump touched on the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, mistakenly conflated Bagram airbase with an oil reserve in Alaska, and threatened to impose a staggering 200% tariff on cars imported from Mexico. His remarks highlighted his perspective on various political and economic issues as he continues his campaign for the presidency.
