Donald Trump is drawing direct parallels between himself and Abraham Lincoln after surviving yet another assassination attempt, this time at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. In a press conference held shortly after the chaos at the Washington Hilton, the President framed the repeated threats against his life as a direct consequence of his political influence.
According to The Mirror, Trump explained his perspective on why he has become a repeat target. “Well, you know, I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most. “You take a look at the people… Abraham Lincoln. I mean, you go through the people who have gone through this where they got them. But the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.”
