Donald Trump confessed that he worries about the safety of his family after he survived two brushes with death in recent months - as his son Barron begins college at a heavily liberal university.
Trump's youngest child, Barron Trump, recently started college at New York University's Stern School of Business, where he has been under constant guard by the Secret Service.
During an interview with Fox News, President Trump was asked about the recent attempts on his life and whether he worries for his loved ones.
"I do. I do," Trump told One Nation host Brian Kilmeade.
"I don’t talk about it, but I do. I have to worry about family. I have to worry about everybody," Trump added.
Trump narrowly survived assassination in July at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The gunman, who was killed by Secret Service, managed to graze Trump in the ear, leaving him bloodied.
This month, Trump was targeted in a second murder attempt while golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida. The Secret Service shot at the gunman after his rifle was spotted poking through the bushes.
Prosecutors announced Monday that the gunman behind the second attempt, Ryan Routh, wrote a letter confessing to an "assassination attempt on Donald Trump" and apologizing in advance for having "failed" to kill the former president.
"I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job," Routh wrote.
Despite the two attempts on Trump's life in a few months, Democrats have continued to describe him as a threat to democracy.
Trump has spoken from time to time about the toll of his political career on his loved ones, who have faced a continuous stream of threats since his first run for president.
Barron, the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, was targeted by a Chicago woman last year while he was still a high school student in West Palm Beach. The woman was charged with stalking Barron at school and threatening to kill him and his father.
As a college student, Barron - who bears a striking resemblance to his father - is under a constant watch by Secret Service - as well as star-struck peers who can't help but notice their famous classmate.
