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.

Oooof. He tried to recruit former Taliban soldiers and provide them with falsified documents? That's so glowie, it might as well be radioactive.

...did Trump drastically slash all the Fed Alphabet soup agencies budgets or something? Did he take away their paid vacation days? Why is the FBI (via unfair charges/investigations), and now presumably the CIA (Ryan Routh sure seems like a company asset), so hell bent on trying to take Trump out?

He denied Empress Hillary her throne, and they've never forgiven him for it.

Wow, sure would be cool if Vance actually shared evidence of this and wasn't just talking out of his ass like he usually does.

All the "evidence" of Haitians eating cats or stealing ducks from parks is Facebook posts claiming that they heard from their niece's nephew's cousin's best friend's boyfriend, or random methed out idiots repeating hearsay during town halls. There was one video of an American born drug addict having a mental breakdown, and another of some dude grabbing a roadkill goose out of the way on the street (OK'ed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife), both in different cities.

The police confirmed that there have been no verified reports, city managers and officials have confirmed no verified reports, literally the only evidence that Vance and the rest of the GOP are running on is an imaginary world they've created out of their own fear.

You need some degree of plausible deniability when you claim your underhanded actions are in the name of "Our Democracy™️". But they're not even really pretending with that anymore.
