Insiders: Full scale of Trump assassination panic

 Hours after revelations about his secret flight from the NATO summit in Turkey went public, the president shrugged off reports that detailed the lengths that Secret Service took to keep him safe.

When asked by reporters if he was worried about being hit by an Iranian missile, he dismissed concerns.

'I don't worry about anything, to be honest. Whatever it is, you know my attitude? Whatever,' Trump replied.

But the ongoing threat is very much on his mind, sources told the Daily Mail, as the war in Iran continues and new threats against his life emerge.

First Lady Melania Trump is increasingly concerned about the president's safety, said a source familiar with her thinking. She trusts, however, that the Secret Service is making the proper adjustments to keep him safe in light of the ongoing international threats.

'They want to take out the US leader, me,' Trump said at the NATO summit prior to his departure from Turkey in July, citing intelligence reports he had reviewed that morning. 'I'm on every single one of their lists.'

So far, Trump remarked, he had 'been a little bit lucky' but cautioned 'that maybe doesn't last very long, because that's the way it goes,' he said prior to leaving for the summit.

Meanwhile in Tehran, billboards with threats against the First Family have been spotted in recent days. One shows images of Melania, Barron and Ivanka Trump with their eyes edited shut and the word 'KILLED' labeled over them, while an AI-generated video highlighted the locations that Melania likes to shop at and how would-be assassins could target her.

Trump Allies Fear Iran Threats Are Manipulating His Security Team 

Trump allies worry that the president is being 'misled by the threat to his life' posed by Iran.

The idea of the president leaving a NATO summit in a catering container was 'embarrassing,' one source close to the White House told the Daily Mail. 

The concern, another source noted, was that Iran is toying with Trump's jumpy security team, knowing that they are extremely cautious.

Iran state media predictably used the report to mock the president's 'humiliation' as a result of 'fear of Iran's military power' and shared a meme of the president hiding in a food catering truck.

The details of Trump's exit going public, one source worried, would make him less inclined to participate in the future. And reports that the CIA had low confidence in the intelligence detailing a threat to the president only confirmed suspicions from some officials that the threat was overblown.

'Iran is really trying to assassinate the president in Turkey, a country that they have a relationship with?' a separate source asked incredulously. 

Sources told the Washington Post that the threats against the president's life were 'Israeli-derived' rather than US-generated and said it was considered 'low-confidence' intelligence. 

Trump's military leadership was to blame, another source noted to the Daily Mail, suggesting that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine overreacted to the poorly sourced intelligence.

The Department of War did not respond to a Daily Mail request for comment. 

However, a senior administration official strongly disagreed with criticism of the security plans in Turkey: 'As the president has said, he has faced numerous threats on his life, including ones from Iran, and every measure is taken to ensure his safety. There is no such thing as "overreacting" when it comes to the Commander-in-Chief’s safety – that is a moronic take.'
