U.S. President Donald Trump holds an executive order signing in the Oval Office of the White House on April 30, 2026 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | President Donald Trump on Thursday said he does not worry about another attempt on his life on the heels of what prosecutors say was a third assassination effort against him by a gunman at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on April 24. "I don't think about it," Trump told a reporter when asked at the White House if he was concerned about another assassination attempt. "If I did, I wouldn't be he," the president said. Trump also said he was not inclined to wear a bulletproof vest, as some people have suggested.
