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.

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

Rock and roll is cool shit. Killing presidential candidates isn't. It's evil and has no place in the United States. Is your hangup that you refuse to believe that evil exists?

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

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.

Satan isn't real, dude. You should stop having imaginary friends as an adult

Evil definitely exists but satan isn't real so thus he has nothing to do with it

we're not going to allow your dangerous rhetoric causing violence to have no consequences anymore. it's called stochastic terrorism by academics, the smartest people in the world, and they say it's a critical threat to our sacred democracy

 

[The Cringe Connoisseur]

why are you bible thumpers so obsessed with demons?

Because they're all spineless narcissistic retards who are terrified of facing reality because reality doesn't validate their pathetic non stop projection and delusions of grandeur and moral superiority over everyone else. You just can't fix stupid.

wait what? is this some halloween thing or what?

Yeah Home Depot has some crazy Halloween decorations these days it's kinda wild

what does this have to do with the second assassination attempt in two months on the same presidential candidate

Whether you believe the devil or not, it is irrelevant. He believes in you.

Because nobody ever changes their political stance.

He went from a moderate trump hater to a complete trump hater, you mean. Because that's obviously what happened

 

[TowinKarz]

No wonder the left-tards are so worked up. Could've been any one of them here.

Or the CIA is just that gay and incompetent that this is the best they can do.

The CIA's always been incompetent, their lone success was ensuring cheaper bananas.... and that was it.

Ryan the skitzo getting called out by a member of the International Legion for pretending to be a recruiter.
Ryan's response is “I live in Hawaii on a beautiful sandy beach with beautiful girls in bikinis all day.”

So he was a rightwing grifter this entire time

It doesn't really matter whether Satan or God exist or not. The problem is that there are plenty of people who do think Satan exists, and they worship him and everything he stands for, which is pure evil.

god and satan are both imaginary. god wants everyone to believe in him, yet he gives no proof of his existence. he allows children to die of cancer. he allows them to get shot in school. and then the political party that pretends to care about children and be the party of god says children not being able to afford school lunch shouldn't get free lunch and that kids getting shot in school is no big deal. if satan were real, you republican boomers would be the party of satan.

I like how the person with no real friends is telling everyone to stop having imaginary friends.

Wonder if this current Trump shooter was a cringe atheist too. Seems like the type based on the lack of morals.

Between the posts saying "Ayuhuck, I BET YOU WANT GUN CONTROL NOW TRUMPTARDS!" and "Trump hired him cuz he lost the debate!!!" It truly is the case that KF is just reddit where you can say nigger

At the very least, this place allows us to call these posters nigger, tranny and faggot. They also can't go crying to some Mod to get your account nuked off of the face of the planet.

They just have to sit there and feel the same dread that they feel when they look at the mirror.
