Trump doesn't let humility stand in the way after being asked why people keep trying to shoot him

“Respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.

“I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most… Abraham Lincoln… they’re the ones that they go after,” he answered.

“Just take a look at the names—they’re the big names—and I hate to say I’m honored by that, but I’ve done a lot.”

The remarks came just over an hour after panic broke out at the Washington Hilton, where a suspect opened fire steps from the ballroom hosting the annual dinner.

I don't whether to laugh or cry. When has that idiot ever "studied" anything?

Every. single. day we have to hear about this kind of stupid shit coming out of his stupid mouth. When will we ever get back to normal? I hope I live to see the day. It can't come soon enough for me and millions of others.
