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.

Like every other neovagina on this site, you skipped making a substantive counter argument

Ironic given what your reply to mine was You were just seething that the shooter was one of your fellow bible thumping elderly men

 

[WelperHelper99]

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.

They would have to accept hating Orange Man is bad. Not happening. Certainly not for Kamala. She wants him gone.

 

[AStupidMonkey]

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

Don't be so sure: 3XL plate carriers still sell like hotcakes. lol

 

[Maeis]

Jesus christ. I remember in 2017 Chris made a tweet asking for somebody to shoot trump with a sniper rifle and I was spergy enough to report Chris to the FBI hotline, I never expected this to actually happen, let alone twice.

 

[DoNotFeedTheSneed]

Guess I never realized we had super restriction on importing inferior semi automatic rifles

It's not that, it's a restriction on almost all foreign firearm imports. It was signed into law during the H.W. Bush administration because they wanted to protect America's domestic gun manufacturers. That's why a lot of euro firearms companies have US subsidiaries now.

 

[Heavy Galaxy]

man i thought NAFO freaks were too fat and disabled to to do anything. Guess I was wrong.

No you were right, he couldn’t hit shit

 

[SpergioLeonne]

Ironic given what your reply to mine was You were just seething that the shooter was one of your fellow bible thumping elderly men

No, I was reminding you that there was a massive social media push for democrats to try to tank trump in the republican primary.

Did you skip the multiple reposts of this guys’ donation history?

 

[Targeted Individual]

This is further proof that they were in fact eating the dogs.
They're trying to silence the truth.

 

[RandyMiskatonic]

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.

Only because the left is determined to Kill Whitey. There wouldn't be that much conflict if leftists weren't genocidally Anti-White.

 

[Tablet County]

I'm happy for the two retards shitting up this thread. True love is hard to find.

You're gonna have to be more specific,

 

[Ghostse]

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

There might have been some of that as well, or I think the CIA was trying to say they had a new radio network to throw the chinks off the trail of what they were really doing, or they were forced to develop a new communication methods. Its been so long.

I remember the article saying that the post-mortem was CIA had gotten sloppy because the system was working so well all over the world - it was anonymous webmail with supposedly too much traffic to trace, and even if you were caught they didn't know what account you'd be using, so you had a burner login so you'd log into an account with faked activity but no national security stuff.
The underestimated Chinese intelligence compartmentalization because the Chinks let them run for a year after they broke it to make sure they got the whole network and the CIA was clueless until they rounded everyone up all at once.

IIRC, The Chinks were able to datamine their firewall logs to figure out when people were logging into/out of these webmail services so they didn't need to know exactly what was written just get some trending data that showed repeated/routine logon requests that weren't from save creds, because the CIA was overconfident on thier "unbreakable" system and assets weren't trained on proper opsec.
edit: I want to say the MSS wasn't able to fully break encryption but was able to basically rainbowtables the username hash.

Supposedly a derivative of the is idea is why we're seeing NordVPN & others entering the scene. NordVPN specifically for a fact gets funding from the CIA, supposedly to fund operations, making it cheap to maximize users so the CIA glowie traffic is lost in the sauce.

The dimensional merge is real, it was just on a time delay.

They would have to accept hating Orange Man is bad. Not happening. Certainly not for Kamala. She wants him gone.

I believe Kamala would celebrate in private if we had 4K footage of Trump's head exploding (this is easier than out-debating him) but I also believe she's a stooge who does what she is told. I imagine tomorrow we will have her disavowing the attempted shooting. Or maybe we won't, in a truly tasteless display at trying to appeal to a fringe voter base that silently wishes we had 4K footage of Trump's head exploding.

Well thank you for educating me

 

[Manimal House]

According to Wikipedia, "no fewer than 42".

Interesting how when you remove all of those events where the assassins pussed out or didn't even really attempt it, the number is somewhere around 9

 

[Touche le grass]

Boomers on fb saying its a pr stun already, didnt take long not sure if legit profiles possible bots? unsure.

 

[Sheryl Nome]

Well maybe third time's the charm amirite aaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Misao Hyper]

Kamala should sell "third time's the charm" merch.

 

[Ambidextype]

Free speech means free speech for everybody unless they annoy dear feeder specifically.
That and a lot of people just want to laugh at retards and feel that the political end of the site is slowly corroding the laughing at retards end of it. It's sort of like when you play a video game to wind down and escape the crushing weight of this clown reality but then all of a sudden there's a trans flag. It's all so tiresome.

I don't know, there should be a limit to how much shitflinging they can do. Just give a timeout to the usual suspects like the mods did to android raptor or hand banhammer like what happened to that saul forrester guy.

By usual suspects I mean randomtwitterguy is an obvious flamer I have seen often only exists to shitpost and contribute nothing else to the conversation and to the less extent Neil sort of does too. The former can't stfu for how much retarded babbles he constantly spergs out, no wonder even Reddit cannot tolerate his ass. In a way, he is exactly the lolcow we are meant to laugh at. He was just posting random TDS-addled nonsense at first and then someone sufficiently provoked him well enough to send him into coping and seething mode sperging about how he is a superior aryan man.

I'm not that fond of trump either but people with TDS completely lost touch with reality, they are willing to risk it all to have a shot at orange man. What happens when the shot connects? Trump becomes martyred. Even when he survived the first attempt, normies and black men respected him more. Open up the mental asylum again.
