في ذكرى مرور عام على محاولة اغتياله في بتلر بولاية بنسلفانيا، اتهم الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب، جهاز الخدمة السرية، بأنه ارتكب أخطاءً أدت إلى وقوع المحاولة، واعتبر أن الرئاسة «وظيفة خطيرة جداً»، وأشاد بأداء إدارته في ولايته الثانية، واصفاً ولايته الأولى بـ «المذهلة».
وقال ترمب في مقابلة مع «فوكس نيوز»: إن أخطاءً ارتُكبت من قبل جهاز الخدمة السرية في التعامل مع تأمين الحدث الانتخابي في بنسلفانيا، أدت إلى وقوع محاولة الاغتيال، لافتاً إلى أنه كان من المفترض وجود عناصر أمنية داخل المبنى، الذي أطلق منه الرصاص.
وأعرب ترمب عن رضاه عن مجريات التحقيق، وقال إنه تلقى إحاطات من مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي (FBI) وجهاز الخدمة السرية ووزارة العدل، مضيفاً: «أنا راضٍ عن عملهم. لقد مروا بيوم سيئ، وأعتقد أنهم سيعترفون بأنهم مروا بيوم صعب».
وقال ترمب: «هذه وظيفة خطيرة جداً، أن تكون رئيساً. كما أقول سائقو سيارات السباق، نسبة احتمال أن يموتوا هو 1% فكروا في ذلك... راكب الثيران أعتقد أن ذلك خطير جداً، النسبة هناك تقريباً عُشر في المائة يموتون، أما بالنسبة للرئيس فالنسبة حوالى 5%، لماذا لم تخبروني بهذا؟ ربما كنت اتخذت قراراً مختلفاً».
ورأى ترمب أن الكثير من الناس يعتقدون أن ولايتي الأولى كانت مذهلة. وأنا كذلك أعتقد ذلك، وعندما سُئل: كيف تودّ أن يتذكّرك الناس؟ أجاب ترمب: «رجلاً طيباً، لكن أيضاً رجلاً أنقذ بلده».
وهاجم ترمب أداء الرئيس جو بايدن بشدة، قائلاً إن البلاد خلال السنوات الأربع الأخيرة كانت تعيش «عرض رعب»، وأضاف: «لقد حاولوا قتل بلدنا. سمحوا بدخول ملايين الأشخاص، من بينهم مجرمون، قتلة، وأفراد من أخطر العصابات في العالم».

On the anniversary of the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, U.S. President Donald Trump accused the Secret Service of making mistakes that led to the attempt, considering the presidency a "very dangerous job." He praised his administration's performance in his second term, describing his first term as "amazing."
Trump stated in an interview with "Fox News" that mistakes were made by the Secret Service in handling the security of the election event in Pennsylvania, which led to the assassination attempt, noting that there should have been security personnel inside the building from which the shots were fired.
Trump expressed satisfaction with the progress of the investigation, saying he received briefings from the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Department of Justice, adding, "I am satisfied with their work. They had a bad day, and I think they will admit that they had a tough day."
Trump said, "It is a very dangerous job to be president. As I tell race car drivers, the chance of dying is 1%. Think about that... Bull riders, I think that is very dangerous, the chance there is about one-tenth of a percent die, but for the president, the chance is about 5%. Why didn’t you tell me this? Maybe I would have made a different decision."
Trump believed that many people think his first term was amazing. "I think so too," he said. When asked how he would like to be remembered, Trump replied, "As a good man, but also as a man who saved his country."
Trump harshly criticized President Joe Biden's performance, stating that the country has been living through a "horror show" over the past four years. He added, "They tried to kill our country. They allowed millions of people to enter, including criminals, murderers, and members of the most dangerous gangs in the world."
