Reflecting on a dramatic flight diversion during a NATO summit in Turkey in July, Trump explained the necessity due to the numerous threats he faces. "I receive many threats. Many threats you are not aware of," he said. "Anyone who holds a significant role must face many threats. Those who count for nothing are not threatened. I believe I am the main target."
