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.

I mean your not wrong but my post wasn't about liking Nick Fuentes, he is a big deal among the demographic of people that Trump needs to win.

Imagine thinking 2024 Fuentes has literally any sway over who is president lmao. Even at his peak that wasn't true.

I feel so bad for Trump personally.
Politically he may be a boomer that sucks Israel off way too much, but he has sacrificed a lot.
He didn't have to do any of this, he could have just stayed a mostly apolitical TV personality and gaudy real estate billionaire.
Since then, he has been vilified, insulted, ground down through partisan lawfare and now he survived his second assassination attempt.

The orange faggot must be a true patriot to suffer through such bullshit and not quit.
I just have to respect him.

Every single one of their actions had done nothing but harden him. When he started, you could see the joyful naiveté in his portrait.
He was willing to work with the Democrats because he actually assumed the best from them and figured he could strike a deal.
Since then, the Democrats stabbed him in the back, the Neocon fucks stabbed him in the bad, even his fucking VP literally sold him out for silver.
When... not if... when Trump gets reelected, never forget the past four years. Never forget what they did to you and how they berated you for it.
I don't believe in a lot. Can't say I believe in a higher power. Not for lack of trying. But I do believe that, given enough time, everything we do comes back to us.
One way or another.

So a NAFO/Goodest of Goyim did this? Well this is gonna get buried almost as fast as if this had been a troon.

They were slow to start scrubbing since it's Sunday, but his LinkedIn and Twitter are down.

Nah, I am lucky I don't burn except in extremes. As long as I don't go full retard and use some sunscreen. I do tan nicely.

Sounds pretty brown to me.

What race is the shooter this time?

pics or it didn't happen

Lmao at libshits bringing up the imaginary rightoids complaining about 2A after Orange Man got shot. No chud is calling for gun control after this or the previous assassination attempt because they have enough IQ to realize that the true problem is glowniggers + leftist hysteria and TDS.

 

[Meth Dick]

I might suggest the same to you; calling people whom you dislike fags is oh-so-2000s and super homophobic. Come up with a new insult; stop being a typical conservative who hates moving forward to a bright future!

How about I call you a nigger, is that better?

 

[Heavy Galaxy]

If someone took a shot at Harris or even Biden you would never hear the fucking end of it. Already seeing weasel worded articles that try to downplay the shooting. The media will try to push this out of the news cycle as fast as possible, can’t wait to see the new headlines about some gay bullshit that happened at the Emmy’s or how Taylor Swift’s new Fortnite tiktok challenge has left 17 children dead from asphyxiation.

With how things are going in america i fully expect a civil war to happen. Sure maybe not in next five or shit even 10 years but 20 or 30 years down the line given the horrid state of affairs.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Either a Republican pissed off with him fecking with their party's reputation, or a last ditch attempt to pull his polling numbers. Throw in the fact the crazy maga cunts are flinging shit at each other, this reeks any thing and everything to divert attention from the floundering campaign.

If the shooter has any consistent view, it seems to be everyone should put down everything they own and go fight wars in Taiwan/Ukraine. Sounds like a Dubya voter to me!

 

[Day of the Cope]

Late to the party because I had to wait for the mods to let me out.
Now that I'm out, I kinda wish they didn't.

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

Shooter was a Vivek and Haley supporter lol

It is crazy how many liberal tranny faggots have flocked to this site after not being able to shut it down. The same people who would have this site shut down are now ensuring its as faggy as reddit. It will be just as bad in another 2 years or so.

If they admitted that, they would need to do some self-reflection and tone it down.
That is inconvenient, so they are attacking a strawman that is standing miles away from the actual point with soy-wristed fury.

I gotta say, as insane as internet-leftists have reacted to the assassination attempts, I think that Biden actually reacted with grace after the first time.

The Emmy's would totally open with someone making a statement about a dark day for democracy and why voting is important. With not so subtle jabs blaming Trump. Instead we have them talking about how wondering that TV is very gay now.

This site isn't an elderly bible thumper hugbox where everyone fawns over Republicans, son.

If the whole "backpacks full of ceramic tiles" thing is confirmed, then there's no question that he is severely retarded. It's actually the funniest shit I've heard in while, retard hears about "ceramic plates" so he makes a stop at the Home Depot. Please let it be real, that would be so funny.

Is it really that retarded? Pretty sure a 6-inch stack of ceramic tiles would pretty effectively stop/deflect most rounds up to .308. Probably better than sandbags for a given volume/weight. My youtube feed is full of people doing ballistics tests on random shit like that.

 

[The Last Stand]

Since the shooter is pro-Ukraine, I consider this an foreign attack against the United States.
