Trump Jr. sat down with The Daily Signal at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday to discuss the Saturday assassination attempt on his father. Authorities shot and killed the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, as he lay on a roof where he shot at Trump.

Asked whether he has concerns about his father or his own immediate family being targeted again, Trump Jr. responded, "Obviously that's something you think about. I try not to, because you also have to live your life."

"When my father was in office, I had a Secret Service detail, and I was, I think, the No. 2 most threatened person in America according to them, because, like him, I don't just accept the other side's narrative and apologize for it. I push back, I fight. That's the way I'm sort of built, I guess," he explained. "Maybe we're all built a little differently—certainly he is. I'd like to believe I got some of those genes."

"It's definitely a consideration, and you've seen the elevation of that over the years," Trump Jr. continued. "They couldn't beat him in so many ways, so they try to sue him to death, then they try to bankrupt him, then they try to take away his businesses, and when that doesn't work, they try to jail him. It's sort of the natural progression."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
