"I can't imagine that there's any profession that is more dangerous," Donald Trump said of his job, just hours after he was at the centre of yet another major security incident, BBC reported. 

While a small army of Secret Service agents make the US president arguably the world's most protected person, keeping him safe is proving to be no easy task.

First there was the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 2024 in which a bullet grazed his ear. Just 64 days later, Trump was again the target of a would-be assassin as he played a round on his Florida golf course. 

And now, hours after gunshots shattered the revelry of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Hilton hotel in the nation's capital, Trump's security is once again under scrutiny.
