Later in the interview, #Trump returned to the shooting unprompted, focusing blame on President #Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris.
“I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault & Harris’ fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing govt against me, they brought in the whole DOJ to try & get me. They weren’t too interested in my health & safety,” he claimed w/o evidence.

He further suggested they [#Biden & #Harris] played a role in undermining his #security: “They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service.” [←bald-faced #lie]
“I’m not saying they wanted you to get shot,” Dr. Phil said, “but do you think it was OK w/them if you did?”
“I don’t know,” #Trump replied. “There’s a
lot of hatred.” (Biden, Harris, & other Democratic leaders condemned the shooting in the aftermath & Biden phoned Trump to offer prayers & support…)
