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.

Doing the enlightened centrist routine on an article about a presidential candidate almost being assassinated. Yes, you're very aloof and edgy.

Every single highlight in this thread is a baitpost talking about either Trump plotting his own assassinations or straw men arguing for gun control because of this event. Combined with the other featured thread speculating about whether Trump is fucking that goblin Laura Loomer, with no evidence whatsoever, it gets tiresome.

Another perfect example was when the British riots were featured. Immediately half the posters in the thread became burgers doomposting or generally just shitting on Bongland (which otherwise would have been agreeable in moderation).

Because the Democrats act like Demons HHH. Literally the man had a gopro wanting to get that 4k Trump death footage. That is actually evil. Demonic even. But I know, you cope and call him a Republican when he hasn't been one since 2016. You will then proceed to call me a Bible thumping incel because I called that bluff. It's over bro. Accept reality.

This is why I call you bible thumping elderly men. You act like boomers did during the 80s satanic panic when everything they didn't like was a demonic force. I bet you think that rock and roll music is satanic, too. Yet you worship a career conman

Routh voted for Trump; donated to Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren and ActBlue, and then has tweets yearning for a Nikki Haley/Vivek Ramaswamy ticket. It's a bit hard to put him in a convenient little political box but rest assured, by nightfall, Thunderdome will be convinced he was a radical socialist Tranny who was working for the FBI.

From the Customer Relations page. We are going to get a lot of gold out of that page.

"I so despise those idiots at the lumber yard that feel compelled to go through a whole stack of lumber to find a board that is good enough for them; what dumbasses. As if their carpentry skills warrant the finest lumber, as they pick the best untreated 2 by 4 for 4 dollars, and they leave a chaotic mess in their wake for someone like me to fix……they should all be taken out and shot."

Is there any proof they weren't right? Because honestly with the way the world is today, maybe we did fall for The Devil's tricks back in the 80s. I mean you can buy a twelve foot tall robotic altar to Satan at Home Depot right now. That should set off some red flags about what we let happen to our nation.
