Trump thanks Daily Mail for letting him know manhunt underway for would-be assassin after Secret Service didn't tell him

Donald Trump was not told about a desperate manhunt for a person who was threatening to kill him during his trip to the southern border in Arizona on Thursday. 

Rather than the Secret Service or any other law enforcement it fell to Dailymail.com to inform Trump that the widely publicized manhunt was going on.

The Republican nominee delivered a speech on immigration in the desert next to the border and then took questions.

DailyMail.com’s correspondent asked him whether he felt he was in danger. 

Trump admitted he ‘hadn’t heard’ about the threat and said law enforcement probably ‘wanted to keep it’ from him.

With a chuckle he said: ‘Thank you for telling me. Let’s get out of here right now!’
