What was said

"I can't really think about it because if I thought about it a lot, you know, I wouldn't be a very good president. I wouldn't be here, probably be up in some room with a locked door and say, just leave me alone."

President Trump disclosed a weekend security incident where a gunman opened fire near a White House checkpoint while he was inside the residence. One bystander was struck and the suspect was killed by officers. Trump characterized the presidency as a dangerous business and said he cannot dwell on assassination threats or he would be unable to function in office.
