US Trump is ‘safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ campaign says in statement - An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement

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.

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.

Not even 24 hours after his second assassination attempt journalists are still posting this shit. They want him dead.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

Apparently this faggot staked out the golf course for 11 hours? But Trump's decision to go golfing was very last minute?

 

[Flamin Park]

There were no zingers on the first attempt either. Perhaps it's the missing ingredient, the successful assassinations all involved some amount of showmanship.

I'm calling it now, the successful hitman will disguise himself as mar a lago staff and bring out a bottle of wine in a cooler. When Trump says "thank you" he'll say "no thank you Donald..." and throw the cooler full of liquid nitrogen over him and shatter him with a karate chop like sub zero "...very cool!"

After reviewing the arrest video again, that looks suspicious. Everyone is way too relaxed, like he's no threat. Definitely some glowie vibes there.

I think they're just comfortable with their overwhelming force and good vision on the target.

 

[namelesstacotruck]

Well, let's see if he gets to his trial date, or if he accidentally Epsteins himself in jail.

What can they stick on him other than gun charges? If he didnt have his plans in writing they dont have much

He did repeatedly write about killing Donald Trump, so there's that.

He did repeatedly write about killing Donald Trump, so there's that.

And he had been lying in wait at the golf course since the night before. So that means he knew Trump would be there.

 

[WelperHelper99]

Seething subhumans trying to shit up the thread aside, why aren't the feds charging him with anything serious?

Are they trying to show the American people that glowies are above the law?

To be fair the gun charges are going to lock him up for decades.

 

[BootlegPopeye]

Well, let's see if he gets to his trial date, or if he accidentally Epsteins himself in jail.

He had to have gotten help getting his rifle also, he is a convicted felon and could not legally buy them. Maybe one of his Ukro buddies straw purchased it for him? So I would bet there are more arrests.

If DEI was a thing during the 60s JFK and Marilyn Monroe would still be alive.

Love seeing the masks slip as all these leftist wastes of space rejoice and dance for another attempted murder. Also love that this shooter was a "Former Trump Supporter (TM)" Just like the last would-be assassin. The media needs to shove the fact they are right wing down our ears so we continue to hate the right. I expect a bit of dark humor here, but seeing the mainstream internet mock Trump for almost dying is just gross. IMAGINE if regular people were out on the street mocking JFK for getting shot in the head, of Teddy Roosevelt for getting shot during a speech. The moral fiber of these modern TDS people is at an all time low.

Anyways this has to be divine intervention at this point. I don't love all of Trump's politics but he wants to secure the border which is what we damn well need right now.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Hear me out: maybe the CIA has actually been MAGA this entire time, & are intentionally fucking up the Trump assassinations?

Think about it - unlike the Democrat soycucks in the Biden administration, I'm sure Trump & his ilk are down with some good ole' fashion CIA shenanigans, like waterboardings "enhanced interrogations", or throwing South Americans intellectuals out of unmarked airplanes.

It's like troons. Think about it; the government wants strong genes and stronger people, so - I mean, hey, you make your weak soy-loving faggots eunuchs and force them to pay your large pharmaceutical buddies for life while they also spend nonstop cash on overpriced clothes and sex toys. They can't breed, and they provide cash flow for the economy, so win-win.

"Let me tell ya folks, we're going to have so many failed attempts on my life you're going to be bored of gunshots. Bored of the gunshots. We're going to need to kick it up a notch, you heard it first from me... Some very smart men, smarter than me, men in big, beautiful labcoats, are discussing about possible ways to submerge me in liquid nitrogen and then shatter me. Some call that the Simon Phoenix special, some people do, not me, but some do. I was always more of a fan of Terminator 2 when the liquid metal shiny guy froze his feet to the ground..."

 

[Michael_Jordan_Peterson]

I remember some of his tweets having his phone number in them like Kamala or whoever was actually going to read his tweet and then call him lol

I only skimmed his posts but it sounds like he was recruting "afghan soldiers" for the war in ukraine. they were to text him verifiable credentials and NOT call him.

Come on, at least make it believable.

It would be a bottle of Diet Coke, not wine.

If ZOG wanted him dead they'd have succeeded and blamed it on the Iranian Quds force.
