President Donald Trump jokingly dismissed on Thursday the idea of wearing a bulletproof vest after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner due to concerns of looking “20 pounds heavier.”

Trump was asked during an Oval Office executive ceremony about “security changes” that would take place after Saturday’s incident. In particular, Trump was asked whether there were talks about him “wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward.”
