President Donald Trump has a regular reminder of the threat he faces in his job.
“I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while,” Trump told reporters June 27 while discussing threats to his life.
Trump has talked in the past about still experiencing a sensation in his ear after he was shot in an assassination attempt last July in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I still have that throbbing feeling in my ear,” Trump said at a rally shortly before his inauguration.
The president also mentioned “a little throbbing feeling” in a Fox News interview last month that touched on the investigations into two foiled assassination attempts against Trump in 2024.
Trump was discussing Lebanon, where Iran proxy group Hezbollah is based, when he touched on the threats to his life. Trump bombed Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting a counter attack on a U.S. military base. Israel and Iran have since agreed to a ceasefire.
“This is a dangerous business,” Trump said. “What I do is a dangerous business.”
