Trump: I thought a tray was falling!
Trump after shooting at White House Correspondents' Association event: I was targeted
An officer was shot at very close range but he was wearing a bulletproof vest. He's fine. The vest did its job.
When reporters asked Trump how he felt during the shooting, he said: "It's always shocking when something like that happens."
I heard a sound and I thought a tray was falling and it was very loud, and it was far away, but it was a gunshot and some people realized it very quickly, others didn't.
Melania was fully aware of what had happened. She said, "It's a bad sound." They took us with them.
At the same time, Trump after the shooting, there is no talk of Iran's nuclear weapons: he said we can't let them get a nuclear weapon. If they are given a weapon, everything pales in comparison. And they will use it... They will use it without hesitation. We cannot do this.
