WASHINGTON -

When asked by a reporter about such threats, the Republican suggested that he is occasionally reminded of when he was grazed in the ear by a bullet at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13, 2024.

"I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while," he said. "But you know what? That's okay. This is a dangerous business."

He made the comments during a White House press conference scheduled to celebrate the US Supreme Court decision that handed him a major victory by curbing federal judges' power to impose nationwide rulings that block his policies.
