The Trump campaign on Sunday said former President Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity.”

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement that did not provide additional details.

The former president was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The course was immediately locked down, according to a source familiar.

The Secret Service said on X that it is working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a protective incident involving Trump. The Secret Service said the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

Trump taken to safety after Secret Service opens fire on man with possible gun at his Palm Beach golf club​


Donald Trump was taken to safety by the Secret Service after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources.

Sources said the Secret Service spotted a suspicious individual on the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, and opened fire when agents saw what appeared to be the barrel of a gun.

It’s not clear whether the man was on the course or near it.

An agent opened fire, shooting multiple times.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said Sunday afternoon.

The man was later arrested by local police on I-95.

It comes almost exactly two months after Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13 — wounding him in the ear.

Sen. Lindsey Graham took to X minutes after news of the shooting broke to laud the former president for his fortitude.

“Just spoke with President Trump. He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.”

The West Palm Beach course is about five miles inland from Mar-a-Lago, which Trump dubbed the “Winter White House.”

The Secret Service — which came under widespread criticism following the July assassination attempt — wrote on X that it was investigating a “protective incident” involving the former president that occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

The agency said it’s coordinating with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office on the investigation.

Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.

The man’s motives are not yet known. He was arrested by Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies.

The White House issued a statement soon after the incident: “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

This is a developing story.

There is no GOP without Trump or someone who is 99% like him.

To put a finer point on it many of his "base" are not republicans or, even if they are, are not voting for him because he's republican. Guy was a life-long democrat from NYC.

The GOP isn't the GOP anymore.

Yeah, the parties are changing. Its ok to move on from what used to define the GOP to this new Trump defined Republican party. Even if you disagree, I think its safe to say the GOP doesn't define right wing beliefs anymore and needs a reformation. I think a party that focuses mainly on American infrastructure over foreign policy/"aid" would set them apart from democrats in a positive way.
 
DONT WORRY DODNAL TRUMP, THE FORCES THAT COME FROM HEAVEN ARE ON YOUR SIDE...! "Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cov, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler." (Psalm 91:3-4)

Pretty certain it's this one.


Donald Trump's plane has been forced to divert en route to a Montana rally over a 'mechanical issue.'

The former president's private Boeing 757, nicknamed Trump Force One, landed in Billings, Montana, 142 miles to the east, instead of its intended destination of Bozeman Friday afternoon.

There were no reports of any injuries and Trump is now set to board a separate plane to take him to a rally in Bozeman scheduled for this evening.

Trump's campaign posted a video of him upon landing in which he said he was glad to be in Montana but did not mention anything about the landing.

Secret Service is currently doing a sweep around the area before the new flight can take off, according to KVNH.

With control of the Senate potentially at stake, Trump is visiting Montana on Friday to help oust incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Tester.

Tester has tried to convince voters he's aligned with Trump on many issues, mirroring his successful strategy from six years ago.

While that worked in a non-presidential election year, it faces a more critical test this fall with Tester's opponent, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, trying to link the three-term incumbent to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-golf-course-shooter.html?ico=related-replace
While Trump is a little late in arriving, the rally isn't scheduled to begin until 8pm local time.

The local sheriff's office has said that the event is likely to still happen on time.

The rally will be held at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on the campus of Montana State University.

Trump's only rally this week will be in a state he won by 16 percentage points four years ago rather than a November battleground.

Facing new pressure in the race from a candidate with surging enthusiasm, Trump on Thursday called questions about his lack of swing state stops 'stupid.'

'I don´t have to go there because I´m leading those states,' he said. 'I´m going because I want to help senators and congressmen get elected.'

He will add on fundraising stops in Wyoming and Colorado.

Friday's rally at Montana State University, which is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Mountain time, is expected to draw thousands of GOP supporters.

Yet the former president's bigger impact could be simply having his name above Sheehy's on the ballot in November, said University of Montana political analyst Rob Saldin.

'There is a segment of the electorate that will turn out when Trump is on the ticket,' Saldin said. And that could benefit Sheehy, a Trump supporter and newcomer to politics who made a fortune off an aerial firefighting business.

Republicans have been on a roll in Montana for more than a decade and now hold every statewide office except for Tester´s.

Tester won each of his previous Senate contests by a narrow margin, casting himself as a plainspoken farmer who builds personal connections with people in Montana and is willing to break with his party on issues that matter to them. He's also become a prolific fundraiser.

The race has drawn national attention with Democrats clinging to a razor-thin majority in the Senate and defending far more seats than the GOP this year. Tester is considered among the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents.

For him to win, large numbers of Trump supporters would have to vote a split ticket and get behind the Democratic senator.

Trump´s drive to oust Tester traces back to the lawmaker´s work in 2018 as chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

Tester revealed past misconduct by Trump´s personal physician, Ronny Jackson, that sank Jackson's nomination to lead the Veterans Affairs Department

Then-President Trump took the matter personally and came to Montana four times to campaign for Republican Matt Rosendale, who was then the state auditor. Rosendale lost by 3 percentage points.

Before Trump's latest visit, Tester has sought to insulate himself against charges that he's part of the Democratic establishment by rolling out the names of Republicans who support him, including former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot.

His campaign highlighted more than 20 pieces of legislation, many dealing with veterans' issues, that Tester sponsored and Trump signed.

Tester also was the sole Democratic delegate from Montana to withhold a vote backing Harris as the party's presidential candidate in the wake of Biden's withdrawal.

And when the Democratic National Convention takes place later this month in Chicago, Tester will be back in Montana 'farming and meeting face to face with Montanans,' campaign spokesperson Harry Child said.

The last time Tester attended the Democratic National Convention was in 2008. That's also the last time a Democratic presidential candidate came anywhere near winning Montana, with President Barack Obama losing by just over 2 percentage points.

Sheehy says Tester has lost touch with his home state and fallen into step with Democrats in Washington.

The Republican said in a message this week to supporters that Tester was 'responsible for the rise of Kamala Harris' because he served as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from 2015 to 2017, when she was elected to the Senate from California.

Tester has outraised Sheehy by more than three-to-one in campaign donations reported to the Federal Election Commission.

However, outside groups supporting Sheehy have helped the Republican make up much of that gap.

Spending in the race is on track to exceed $200 million as advertisements from the two sides saturate Montana´s airwaves.

Shooter voted for Trump 2016
Shooter is a deranged boomer
Shooter supported Tulsi and Vivek to beat Trump
Shooter was pro Taiwan/Ukraine to a comical degree
Shooter never shot at Trump
Shooter was shot by SS but non fatally

That's really all this is to know

It's so insane how the left keeps saying 'he voted for Trump once'. Even if that's true, which who knows for sure, that doesn't mean he's not a deranged leftwinger. Everything else points to it, but that one thing and Vivek tweet? Oh he's gotta be an alt-right type that just wanted to shoot Trump. Right

As long as NYC and Philly exist you're in no state to throw stones there. You live in a country who's endless love for nigger dick extends to them jerking it on the streets to satiate your lust for it.
 
I went through all the highlights and beyond OP and one where the shooter is identified there really isn’t any informative posts. This is an absolute disaster of a thread.

People who say ‘Oh just ignore’. The annoying libshit posts aren’t a problem. Actually I think they’re funny. But they need to be better balanced by actual informative posts. Posts with lots of i stickers should always get a highlight.

Or just stop featuring political content? The people interested in political happenings probably don't need to be made aware of an assassination attempt on Trump, yeah?

Ah, didn’t realize this was featured. That explains why this is such a dumpster fire. But what’s even gayer is the Laura Loomer schizopost getting featured and that wasn’t even corroborated. It was literally a user’s fan fiction.

With Biden someone did try

According to the plea agreement, at the time Kandula crashed the truck into the White House perimeter, he was attempting to gain access to the White House to seize political power. Kandula’s intent was to replace the democratically elected government with a dictatorship fueled by ideology of Nazi Germany and for himself to be put in charge of the United States. Kandula admitted to investigators that he would have arranged for the killing of the U.S. President and others if necessary to achieve his objective. His actions were calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion.

If someone told me Hollywood Hulk Hogan was Null testing out some kind of experimental chat AI that spouted off the same 12 or so liberal talking points from 30 years ago I would not be shocked. His software is really outdated still using 90s terms like "Bible Thumpers" and "fundies"

Its a weird trend I've noticed that Leftoids tend to cling to older talking points and insults than Right Wingers do, probably as a result of the left being culturally ascendant.

The last time these guys actually faced major opposition from the Right was the early 2000s/90s, so they sort of just default to those kinds of talking points, it's why the Boys feels like it's making fun of the Republican party from 30 years ago because the Liberal mind is physically incapable of comprehending the modern chud.
