President Donald Trump made light of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Friday during his first public event since Saturday night’s chaotic incident.

The President appeared in front of a large crowd at the Villages in Florida, a retirement community that’s nearly as large as Washington, DC, and boasts more than 150,000 residents. 

He talked about the new security concerns surrounding him after a gunman tried to rush through a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and has since been charged with attempting to assassinate the President. 

‘You know, I shouldn’t be here. There was just an attempt – I won’t use the word – an attempt, they say, on my life,’ Trump began. 

‘I should be indoors at a secure facility where I can quietly, beautifully, and safely play out my term, destroying everything that comes in our way – like bad countries that want to get nuclear weapons,’ he said, a clear reference to Iran. 

‘So they want me to be in a secure place,’ he continued. ‘I say, “what’s more secure than the Villages?”‘ he said to cheers. 

He noted how the ‘seniors were waiting at the Villages’ and remarked how he received ’97 percent of the vote.’   

Trump supporters on hand told the Daily Mail they weren’t concerned about their safety.

‘Nope, I’m not worried,’ said 71-year-old Marilyn Conte. ‘I trust God to keep me safe. There are Secret Service and police everywhere. God has protected the President so far and I believe he’ll continue. So I wasn’t worried to come here.’ 

Rick Conte, 73, chimed in, ‘Only evil people want him dead and my God is stronger than evil. I’m not worried.’ 

Gina Maria Richardson, 60, said she ‘thought about the risk.’ 

‘But I think the odds aren’t very high. And when am I going to have the opportunity to see a President speak in person?’ 

The seniors were treated to a number of the President’s greatest hits – including his attempt at a French accent, impersonating French President Emmanuel Macron, and the backstory on how he tried to get the ‘fat drug’ reduced in price. 

He went after Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, making the bold, unverified claim that she married her brother, even incorporating a sex joke. 

Supporters of President Donald Trump gathered Friday at the Villages Charter School at the Villages, Florida for Trump’s first public event since a gunman tried to run through security at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner 

Trump brought along Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dr Mehmet Oz and confessed to being bored when Oz tried to explain the ins and outs of the government-funded health programs. 

Beyond Oz, a longtime TV doctor, Trump brought along Dr Phil, another TV doctor, bringing him briefly onstage to talk to the seniors.
