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.

why does some of his pictures make him look like a troon
or a retard with a lesbian karen haircut?

wait, he was interviewed in 2022-2023 going to Ukraine?

You’ll miss some bantz that way

It's not bants, it's just stupid. The only reason I haven't complained myself is because getting trolled by Hulk is like watching a fruit fly enter a vinegar trap.

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

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.

If Trump was gonna fake it it would be in a much more public place with more witnesses and somewhere that wouldn’t be so embarrassing for Trump because everyone makes fun and criticizes him for playing too much golf.

Honestly if it was successful, the libtards would be hyper obnoxious if Trump died playing golf.

Oh and the killer had a GoPro, no reason to add that if this was a glow op. Just complicates matters.

The "bantz" are as repetitive as his insults/talking points.

I know you're a gullible retard who believes everything Trump says like a good little simpleton, but you do know he lies, right? There's audio of Project 2025 authors saying he's on board and audio of Trump praising it and Heritage Foundation.

I mean, let's pretend Project 2025 is real: is it really so bad?

[Paranoia Machine]

Come ON Paranoia Machine! You know what he meant as well as I when he posted a highly-charged and homosexual thing in a featured thread for everyone to see!
Can't you understand the context of the faggoty thing he said, not the faggoty way he said it!?

Dude he said an immensely gay thing. I don't know what to tell you. Even within the context of the argument it was just faggoty.

He dyed his hair the Ukie flag colors and seems to have done it multiple times as the scheme is in several pictures.

It feels like every other Sunday I take a mountain trip, on the way back down, I hear trump got shot. What the fuck already?

I'm just not going to come back, fuck this shit.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I didn't go through the whole thread, but he was a Trumper in 2016 and was a huge Vivek and Haley guy. He was definitely one of your fellow bible thumping elderly men.

It's a common tactic to try to drum up support for weaker candidates, you know there's zero Haley supporters to the point she was caught sharing supportive emails she sent herself lmao

Besides, his latest political stance was pro-Harris, he's a libtard who donates regularly to Democrats.

Its wierd how leftists will try to make it seem like the guy who wanted trump dead was anything other than your typical violent deranged leftist.

It'd be weird if they didn't, it's politically advantageous, but I just don't understand why they lie on KF of all places. Sure, spread propaganda on Twitter to hopefully go viral, but here? I guess it's just practice so they can be better psychological liars.

She got a decent amount of support in the primaries. Vivek had barely any though

Yeah, because you guys don't just mindlessly believe every right-wing conspiracy you read

oh shit
theres going to be incoming conspiracy theories that Dems and Ukraine conspired to kill Trump in order to continue the Ukraine war and to take out Trump, knowing full well he plans to stop further resources and spending directed at Ukraine.

Very milquetoast generic American conservatism BS.
I could've done much better, by far.
Anyway, quite disappointing to see people triggered by it, as it's not even remotely extreme.

They're still sending their SSI check to Trump to "stop the steal" even after he admitted he lost and his lawyers told a judge there was no fraud under oath

Holy fuck can you retarded niggers stop shitting up the thread and just put HHH on ignore? Jesus christ I don't understand how people keep falling for such a shitty bit.

If it was a bit it would as least be kind of funny, HHH and the people who argue with him are just legitimately retarded.

Small distinction; Dragunovs are designated marksman rifles based off the AK platform. Also I think 7.62x54mm would be a bit difficult to acquire in the USA, though.

While not as ubiquitous as the 7.61x51mm NATO and .308 Winchester in the States, the 7.62x54mm is relatively common to find online and in the box stores.

She did badly even in her home state, she did awful but just gritted her teeth and stuck it out longer than Vivek because she had more big donors, not actual grassroot support. If you follow politics even somewhat closely you'll actually understand these details.

We believe the """conspiracies""" because they often end up true, like the COVID lab leak and Hunter's laptop lol. You're the one believing the official fake news narratives whenever they align with you, and then you don't when they're against you, such as the confirmation of Ashley's diary, which you still make up conspiracies to deny despite Ashley herself admitting it's real and never even implied it was doctored.
