Stephen Chan, spokesman for President Trump Shown Trump said he thanked “the law enforcement and emergency responders who acted swiftly during this heinous act.”
Chang said Trump was “in good spirits and is undergoing testing at a local medical facility. More details will be released at a later date.”
