According to the book, Barron Trump was the first person to inform the president about Charlie Kirk’s assassination (via RadarOnline).
The book stated that after Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, Barron went on to warn his father. He allegedly told Donald Trump, “This is what happens when you go out there. This is what happened.” However, as per the book, in his reply, the president told him, “Calm down, honey, calm down.” Donald has been a target of three assassination attempts till now, White House has previously conveyed in a statement.
The most recent attempt on the president, according to his administration, occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April. In his statement after the incident, the acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche said (via Reuters), “It does appear that he, he did, in fact, set out to target folks that work in the administration, likely including the president.” It was recently revealed that Donald Trump is set to visit the Washington Hilton for the first time since the incident.
According to the Hill, a Secret Service official commented on the security measures at the hotel ahead of the president’s arrival. The individual noted, “While the existing security plan at the April 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner was effective in interdicting an identified threat, the agency continually reviews our security posture and will make adjustments, as necessary.”
The official added that they have a “sophisticated, layered security framework” to counter threats before they materialize.
