Love Trump, loathe Trump, what nobody can deny is that he’s got balls of steel. I wouldn’t be back doing outdoor rallies after someone shot me and came within a quarter inch of killing me. pic.twitter.com/xVU6FAScvQ [3]

The announcement comes after the Secret Service urged Trump to forgo outdoor rallies due to security risks following the July 13 incident.
The assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper.
The Secret Service has faced scrutiny for security lapses, leading to the resignation of agency director Kimberly Cheatle.
