President-elect Donald Trump said during an interview that aired over the weekend that he feels safe heading into the White House after surviving multiple assassination attempts this year.

Trump made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker when asked whether he felt safe after nearly being murdered.

“One of the things that made this campaign unprecedented and extraordinary were the horrific attempts against your life,” she said. “Two assassination attempts. Do you feel safe going into the White House for the next four years?”

Trump responded: “I have confidence in Secret Service. I know the people. I got to know a lot of them, and I have confidence. It was a bad moment. Something shouldn’t have happened. But I have a lot of confidence, and they really stepped it up.”

“They were restricted from giving the — look, I do a rally, and you were at many of them. And I’d have 50,000 people. Joe would have a rally and he’d have 30 people,” Trump continued. “And he had more Secret Service than me. My Secret Service was always asking for more manpower slash womanpower. They were asking for more and more and more, and they couldn’t get it.”
