It&#8217;s become something of a pattern. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">I was also in Butler, Pennsylvania on 13 July 2024 when 20-year-old Thomas Crooks shot at Trump, and the feeling in Washington is very similar to what I experienced that day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Despite having just experienced another shooting, Trump seems in a buoyant mood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the prospect of being in a position in which he could be in danger appears to be something that Donald Trump has thought about, repeatedly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine there&#8217;s any profession that&#8217;s more dangerous,&#8221; Trump said in the briefing room. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Trump, and many close to him, have previously said that the shooting in Butler, perhaps more than anything else, marked a pivotal moment for the US president. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Even with a lack of clarity on what led to the shooting, tonight&#8217;s events will almost certainly mark another one. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">President Trump&#8217;s comments that the job is inherently dangerous are apt. Tonight&#8217;s incident took place inside the same hotel in which President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can&#8217;t imagine &#8216;any profession that&#8217;s more dangerous&#8217;, Trump says of his jobpublished at 04:50 BST 04:50 BST Bernd&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-551093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
