Has Donald Trump been traumatized after the attack on him? The former president made an unexpected request to the Secret Service.
Although the electoral race for the U.S. presidency is tight between Trump and Biden, the magnate also spoke about his rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy Jr. is running for an independent candidacy for the U.S. presidency. Although his chances are limited, Trump focused on him.
After the attack by the young Thomas Matthew Crooks, despite the presence of the Secret Service at a Trump rally, the magnate made a request.
Will Robert F. Kennedy Be Attacked?
Following the attack and considering the tragic past of Robert F. Kennedy’s family, candidate Trump requested protection for him.
«Given the history of the Kennedy family, this is obviously the right thing to do!» he said, alluding to the previous attacks on the famous political dynasty.
Trump was emphatic in saying that his rival also needs the protection of the Secret Service, reported Agencia EFE.
This request gains significance since Kennedy Jr. had previously stated that his request for Secret Service protection was denied.
Is Donald Trump’s Request Valid?
Although the damage to his ear was not severe, had he not turned his head in a second, the bullets fired at Trump could have entered his brain.
Now, candidate rallies and events will be heavily guarded, and two legislators are preparing a bill to protect them.
