When President Donald Trump was shot at during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, all he wanted to know was how it was playing on television.
In his new book, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl said that Trump broke every single Secret Service rule for protectees. Speaking to "The View" on Tuesday, Karl said that he uncovered all of the transcripts of interviews of the agents, who told Congress that Trump fought them, refusing to stay down because he wanted to rally his supporters in the moment.
"By the way, when he gets to the hospital I found out — when he gets to the hospital, his aides — he comes out, the aides are in other cars, as he comes in, there's the handful of aides there and he says, 'How is it playing? How does it look on TV?' That was his first thought," Karl said.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg then pivoted to ask about MAGA voters like farmers and ranchers and whether Trump is being attentive to his followers.
Karl said that Trump's focus is on redecorating the White House, and he feels like he has all he needs from Congress.
