A reporter asked him if he was rattled. The president said he was not. "Do I look rattled?" he asked calmly. "I didn't even think about not coming back," Trump added.

"I feel very safe with Secret Service. They're fantastic people. They're the best of the best, they're highly trained."
Trump continued: "There was an actual shooting and somebody has been taken to the hospital, I don't know the condition of the person. Seems that the person was shot by the Secret Service. It's unfortunate that this is the world but the world has always been a dangerous place."
