Overview

• On Fox News’s My View With Lara Trump, President Trump said he wants history to remember him as "a good person" who "saved our country."
• The episode aired on July 13, marking one year since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot in the ear.
• A government report released the same day found that Secret Service agents failed to alert local police about a credible threat ten days before the shooting.
• Trump defended the agents as "very capable" while conceding they "had a bad day" during the incident.
• Media critics decried the interview as a nepotistic soft-ball session that lacked substantive questions about his administration.
