Trump returns to public stage after assassination attempt

0:00Donald Trump has touched down in Florida for his first major public appearance since the shooting at the White House Correspondent's dinner. It's going to last US correspondent Rob Scott with the details. Rob, what's he there for? Morning, Hugh. Well, he's actually speaking at a place called the Villages, which is the world's largest retirement community. And he's there to spruke his economic agenda, particularly his policy of no tax on social security. And you're right, this is the first major public appearance he has made since that frightening attempt at assassination in Washington, DC last weekend. And as he left the White House this morning, he was asked how he was feeling about appearing in public again, and he said, look, he hadn't given it much thought. He was also asked about how peace negotiations with Iran are going, and he said, look, Tehran is making strides, but he's not happy with the latest peace proposal put forward by the regime there to mediators in Pakistan. Deep breath. I mean, do we want to go and just blast the hell out of him and finish him forever?

1:03Or do we want to try and make a deal? Let me those are the options. Do you want to go blast the hell out of him? I prefer not. On a human basis, I prefer not, but that's the option. And Hugh, as the President, weighs another strike on Iran, a major poll here in the United States has found that this war is as unpopular as both the Iraq and the Vietnam Wars were. Okay, Rob Scott in the US, thank you.
