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.

That's how they dealt with the 4chan problem, after all. Entryism and forum sliding. Time honored tradition.

Was a shame what happened to 4chan. But remaining strictly anonymous will bite any site in the ass at some point.

Ok, I’m over my head. It’s hard to understand why its so easy to get almost anything else that’s foreign made and semi automatic, but these are so special

Like, we don’t have hostile trade relations with Ukraine the way we do with Russia, is it just so easy to get shitty sks’s because they’re mass imported under a single set of permits?

The reason there are so many SKS rifles in America is because thousands were brought back as trophies from Vietnam and the market was flooded with shitty Chinese and Yugoslav ones in the 80s. You had a dozen companies importing them, so you could get them for 99 bucks back then. Conversely, the Chinese Norinco NDM-86 (the most common Dragunov copy in america) came on to the market much later (note the 86 in the designation) and was only imported by a few companies. It's the same reason why mosins can be had for 300 bucks; you had companies dedicated to importing them by the crate.

Shooter wanted Trump 2106. Trump will be lucky if he makes it to 2036.



Unless Elon's great grandson builds the Trumpinator.

the gunfags are kind of refreshing compared to the politispergs.

The best thing Kamala could do right now is get in front of a camera and tell everyone Trump isn't Hitler, he's just a fat retard, and we all need to behave.

We circle back to the mass suicide thing. The Dems have too much pride. Admitting fault would break them worse than the civil war and Lincoln ever could. That is how bad this fucking is for them. Saying sorry will literally cause their followers to melt down and kill themselves.

for as gun crazy as America is, people suddenly fucking suck at using them.

It was the mechanical fault. As I said earlier, there is plausible deniability for this. I just find the timeframe to be suspicious and also it begs the question, how does THE presidents plane suffer a mechanical fault? You would think they would check it beforehand.

It made by Boeing. There's your answer.

I'd put money down on hollywood hulk hogan having a hook nose any jew would be envious of.

Are you saying Vivkes few supporters were all dems who were registering to vote to try and stop Trump?? Is there no factions in the Republican party? The part is all pro-Trump and the only opposition is democrats pretending to be republicans

I haven’t seen such shit construction before. I would’ve thought I’d have to feed a retard Legos

We need a whole ass #Blueanon thread for these nuttos.

I don't agree, Biden got on camera and told everyone you shouldn't fire at politicians. I think it will become another nettle stuck in her candidacy if she refuses to disavow not one but two attempts on her opponent's life.

It's basically this. When everyone can have one, most suck at them.

Trump having two former supporters-turned-NeverTrumpers try and take his life in one summer is crazy, but unsurprising. This man is not well liked.

Convenient the shooter was a Trumper, like the last assassin was Republican lmao

Fake news MSM will focus on that, as intended by whatever agency hand-picked this guy.

Wow you right-wing confederate neo-Nazi far right incels, I can't believe that you think the problem are our glorious patriotic intelligence agencies and the facts about Mango Mussolini that the honest media are spilling in order to combat the rise of fascism and racism in this nation. Obviously, we need to end the 2nd Amendment since the Constitution was written by white supremacist slaveholding neo-nazis and also Trump didn't even get shot at, so what are you guys complaining about? It was an inside job to help Trump after ze got demolished by Kween Kamala in the debate, and if it wasn't, then third times the charm. Keep on coping and seething, you klansmen brownshirt blueshirt iron cross degrellian evolan rockwellian national anarchist siege accelerationist RW Twitter soyjak.party 4chan kiwifarms alt-right O9A members.

Welcome to America, where people have the desire to get stuff but not the discipline to use it.

Also, a Republican shooting at Kamala wouldn't miss.

I was just aware that we had a shit ton of them around. Guess I never realized we had super restriction on importing inferior semi automatic rifles

I think the too disabled part still stands
