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.

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.

Per what I read at the time
What happened was CIA was using the 'save as draft' feature of webmail to communicate with their assets. This was a trick learned from terrorists who realized that the glowniggers were monitoring email, but if you never send the email it doesn't hit the filters. Chinese intelligence turned an asset double agent, and was able to use the great firewall to track them.
(and before anyone has any bright ideas, that loophole is long since closed. google/microsoft/yahoo are all doing national security scans on anything in their systems)

Then as you said, public summary executions, zero reporting from the MSM. Basically the entire US intelligence aparatus in China was ACKed which is why they were able to build their base in the Pearls with no US resistance (well that an Obama was a limp-wristed bitchmade)

Man, I’m sure that I had read it involved a new communication device. Maybe it was some spy phone and you’re correctly describing the technical aspect of what happened specifically with them.

Anyways, hats off to someone else in the world knowing what I’m referencing

Alright, conspiracy theorists, here's one to add to the trove:

What if Trump knows he's losing? Most polls show him slipping to Kamala Harris somehow, the last debate has largely been framed in Kamala's favor all over.
What if Trump is broadcasting his location on smaller subforums or through facebook through proxies trying to whip up chaos as he has always done in order to get more assassination attempts?
What if Trump knows he's not about to have a good time if he loses, and decided "Fuck it. I'll put it on my secret service!". He knows he's 78 years old and at the end of his life. What does he have to lose if they succeed?
If he is hit, he gets to lord it around as a sign that even the secret service is against him, if he's killed he can become a martyr for the Right. Either way he gets all the attention and looks like the victim.

Please tell me why any of the stupid shit listed above cannot be just as true if we are willing to consider a deep-state coverup or intentional assassination attempts by the government.

The left cant meme conspiracy theory

Guy was shot twice and you people say "He staged it!" with a straight face. Peak nigger brain.

God is not real faggot.

Neither is India.

Between the posts saying "Ayuhuck, I BET YOU WANT GUN CONTROL NOW TRUMPTARDS!" and "Trump hired him cuz he lost the debate!!!" It truly is the case that KF is just reddit where you can say nigger

Except we dont tell them that they cant act retarded online, we simply mock them so then they can throw an even bigger (and funnier) temper tantrum.

Shit up enough threads and thats whats gonna happen.

In before someone some other glow tries to kill trump again. 3th times a charm, I'm worried here.

Jones calls bullshit on gun id.

Jones is wrong. There's no way someone would be able to afford a 10,000 dollar dragunov when they're donating all of their money to Ukraine. Looks like an SKS with a shitty tapco stock and a chinese optic. 500 dollars max.

edit: close up of the rifle

 

[oh no its pipkun]

It didn’t sound like it was a counter sniper taking the shots. I haven’t seen it stated anywhere, but I was under the assumption that this was a handgun-equipped agent

if we're lucky we might get pics of a fancy pdw.

Ah here, sure isn't it grand living in a time of near unprecedented political strife and social upheaval. You love to see it

LMAO, the shooter was a former Trump supporter.

“When Trump sends his people, he’s not sending his best… he’s sending people that have lots of problems… and some, I assume, are good people.”

 

[W@rui]

There's a 10min interview of him by Newsweek back in 2022. He talks about how he's been trying to get foreign fighters in Ukraine. I'm unable to post it here but if someone can it's wild how much of a neolib he is.

 

[Razz]

Time for selective gun control for out-of-control deranged faggots? No, everyone must be disarmed because multiple booking criminals will stay armed anyway because they dont care about laws. Its time to enact militias for law enforcement, its clear SS and alphabet agencies are laser-focused on eliminating their political targets

Not to mention in the first attempt a firefighter had his brains blown out. These people are Reddit tier retarded.

Let's forget last two election cycles he supported Democrats lol...

I guess his approval rating are going to spike again.

Also I CAN'T help but think of this scene from boondocks.

$10k is like a collector edition price. They’re not really more expensive than tacticool ARs

Things are relatively peaceful compared to even 50 years ago. Unfortunately, it is probably going to get a lot worse.

This will be forgotten in 3 days. The glowies will give donnie another tap on the shoulder to forbid him from using it to make political hay.

We had 6+ months of riots because tyrone overdosed, and we had a mass acceleration of censorship after a fat bitch had a heart attack at charlottsville. A former president, one of the most well known people on the face of the earth survives two assassination attempts, and nothing will happen. The right is so cucked into submission it's actually quite impressive.

Oh, and if this had happened to hillary or obama right before an election, the swamp would go ballistic. It would be used as justification to do absolutely anything they want. They would never stop talking about it. Charlottesville was a complete nothingburger, and they still bring it up every second day. Imagine if they actually had something real to grasp onto.

Jones is massively retarded, again. Either that or he needs to get his eyes checked.

 

[NewFagWhore]

I haven an uncle who regularly "talks" to politicians on Facebook, has an "organization" and is a "political activist", "volunteer" and "organizes political movements", all of this is in his brain btw, in reality he is just an annoying retard that bugs people on social media and in real life. he is an undiagnosed autist.

This guy reminds me of my uncle so much. he was clearly a politic-brained retard that everyone just ignored because they didn't wanna deal with him. so he probably decided to take matters into his own hands. Likely not a glow-op unless glowniggers groomed him into doing it, but knowing a person exactly like this, I feel like he was unironically le lone wolf.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I have never seen someone with so many tickets, infractions and criminal charges.

Florida Man strikes again

No. Paradoxically, NK very much would like a better relationship with the USA. Normalization of relations would bring many real benefits to NK. For example, normalizing relations tells Kim the US isn't likely to attack his little kingdom.

It would, but the double edged sword is that normalized relations with the US completely undermines the foundation for NK's constant state of military readiness (and the fact the Korean War only ended with a 'ceasefire' instead of an actual treaty or whatever).

Three attempts at a man’s life in a short period of time.

I’ll never understand the people who think ending the former president’s life is this sort of miracle ‘off’ switch for all of the bad things that happen in their lives. Even if he is felled, you’re still a pooner/troon, everyone including your own family hates you, etc. Literally nothing changes for you except that a man who has very little impact on your personal life, outside of the attention you chose to give him, is gone.

Simple. He's on the news all the time alongside all the other bad shit in life. Kill Trump, remove him from the media circus, and that's an immediate reduction in the bullshit the media is pouring out.

You're right in that it's not going to fix anything in these people's lives, but it's the seemingly easiest course of action vs. whatever long term actual solution would require.

 

[just Reading a post]

I am assuming he said "I can't Kyiv" as he was arrested.
NAFO retard was going to die for a ex soviet shithole.
