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.

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!"

I agree that Agent 47 would get it done and without collateral damage, but he's white and bald, so that means he's a Nazi or something.
 
Hey guys, don't shoot at former presidents. That is immensely illegal and kind of cringe.
If you are having thoughts of murdering anyone, but especially a former president, please call 9/11 immediately and turn yourself in.

We here at The Kiwi Farms love you and wish to see you prosper.

People literally have tried and failed at assassinating Biden. Just last year a Hitler-worshipping Indian rammed a truck into the White House gate with the express intent of killing him.

Assassination attempts come with being a public figure, that's why the Secret Service exists.

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

It's so funny how every right winger immediately jumps to screaming "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE TRUMP" after shit like this happens. It is literally demonstrably false that any democrat or leftist rhetoric led to either Crooks or Routh's actions, yet you faggots (and Trump himself) are so shameless you'll use it as an out against criticism.

Reminds me of my new favourite word to describe exactly what's going on. "Stochastic terrorism". Maybe it's because I'm a fucking illiterate that I hadn't run into the word before.

You teach people about the evils of the nazi regime for years and go "isn't it a shame you couldn't go back in time and kill Hitler before he did all that stuff". Then you go ahead and say "by the way that orange man over there is totally like Hitler... just saying..."

You're basically grooming mentally unwell people into this. I'm sure some of em look at this and think "I don't care about my life anyway, but if I kill Trump, I'll be remembered as a hero who saved the west!"

Lol, neat CYA there Libshit but everybody knows how you really feel. No amount of boilerplate is going to change that.

It's kind of hard to stage a fucked up assassination, especially like the first attempt. That's definitely beyond the CIA's competency.

I beg to differ.

If the CIA (*or insert preferred fed alphabet soup) wanted to intentionally flub an assassination, all they had to do was delegate said assignment to a chronically online skitzo with poor aim, and hand him, IDK, an AK-47 to complete the task. (Seriously, he used an AK-47 🤣? A NERF gun would have had a better chance of hitting Trump).

Anyway, this next line of thought might be a bit autist of me, but I personally think if the CIA/Deep State/whoever truly wanted Trump gone, he'd already be dead. & killed in the vague sinister way glowies usually off their targets i.e. car spinning out of control on a dark & stormy night, drowning in a bathtub after consuming a handful of strong sedatives, mysterious boating accident, sudden "heart attack" in hotel room while fucking a prostitute, etc.
 
Washington Post tomorrow:
"Right Wing Simpletons Don't Understand Marketing"
Ari Cohen - Staff Writer

Republicans are trying to kill the American dream. A man is being accused of attempting to assassinate a former president over a clever marketing scheme and these calls are being echoed by lawmakers.

We will not name the person for his safety but all he was trying to do is promote a business and a dream. This is a man who was putting in effort to start his own PMC. Around a full time roofing schedule this man traveled the world trying to put freedom fighters in touch with those who needed an extra hand. He was not a villain attempting to assassinate a president. He was a man trying to promote his new PMC and show their capabilities. I ask this... How better to show the power of your PMC than to show you could take out the most powerful man in the world but chose not to?

When you see Republicans talking about assassination, just remember that they would vote for Trump. How could you possibly expect them understand something as clever as this?

Crooks donated to ActBlue and the AP got a picture of Routh's truck. See anything?

I'm gritting my teeth and twitching from reading this headline.

Remember that these bastards want you dead or imprisoned, your children brainwashed and enslaved, and they think it's funny.

I think they're probably not actively pushing to kill him, but they might be flubbing the security a bit and hoping that someone takes him out. Getting personally involved runs the risk of another Snowden breaking the news or having Trump go after them when he gets in if they can't deal with him before then.

If they wanted to actively take him out, then my bet would be on forcing a crash to happen using a car's onboard computer or something like that. Especially if Trump ends up driving or in an EV.
