Former President Donald Trump's family and allies reacted on social media after shots were fired near Trump National Golf Club on Sunday.

Around 1:30 p.m. ET, multiple shots were fired near the golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, was golfing, according to the Associated Press.

"President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time," Steven Cheung, Trump's campaign communications director, said in a statement to Newsweek on Sunday afternoon.

According to AP, a Secret Service agent opened fire at a suspected person with a weapon while the former president was golfing.

In a statement to Newsweek on Sunday evening, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wrote: "The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump."

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told local news station WPTV that the suspect believed to be connected to the incident "was not armed when we took him out of the car."

Fox News host Sean Hannity, a friend of the former president, said Sunday on the air that he had spoken to Trump and his golfing companion, real estate magnate Steve Witkoff. Both described the incident to Hannity.

Hannity said Witkoff and Trump described hearing a "pop, pop, pop, pop" sound, while golfing on the fifth hole of his course.

"Within seconds, the Secret Service pounced on the president [and] covered him," Hannity said on Fox News.


Pending story obviously; details are being released by the minute.

No person seeking or elected to political office, whether or not the office is that of the presidency, should have to be this afraid for their own lives. We're clearly in a crisis situation this election cycle, and our leaders need to be fully protected. I am so glad that Trump was uninjured this time, and that the call was not as close as what happened in Butler, and today's assailant was a worse shot than the 20-year-old assailant from July 13. Today's assailant was within 500 yards of Trump.


I've read that the suspect's name is already publicly available, but I will personally choose to not post his name nor picture (same goes for the punk kid in Butler). Love them or hate them, we need our candidates to be safe and unharmed; and the people need to not have their choice of candidates revoked, especially if done violently.

The fact that so many people actively want Trump dead is extremely disturbing.

Edit: The headline previously referred to the venue in West Palm Beach as "Trump National Golf Club", when it is actually Trump International Gold Club. I have fixed the error.

The asshole secret service is STILL not sufficiently securing the area of Donald Trump, they admitted right in the press conference that they have based his protection not upon his threat level but his status as a candidate, and that it would have been different/increased if he had been the official President. The shooter (with an AK-47 this time) was only between 300-500 yards away, and the weapon had a scope.

There are things the shooter could have done to conceal the front barrel of the gun that the SS agent saw sticking out, a professional assassin would have done that, and that shit could have worked. Fucking lame.
 
Remember the press says beware of those violent crazy conservatives and Antifa is a lose non violent group. Actually the press just spouting democratic FBI propaganda like X did in the past
Too fucking funny

Antifa is a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. It consists of a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups that use nonviolent direct action, incivility, or violence to achieve their aims.

An ak at that range even scoped is an awful platform to try and snipe someone with. If they were serious they should have gone with a bolt action rifle
 
What a lot of horseshit. There was no first attempt. There's nothing they won't do to manipulate public opinion and disarm America.

. . . Trump Assassination Attempt

The Babylon Bee: one antidote to the MSM.

But it's not about who he is or may be, it's about what we choose to be. In particular, in the absence of evidence that the person's done horrible things (like the usual subject matter on this site, heh :) ).
Okay, I choose to be one of the millions of people who want him to no longer be a threat to the majority of humanity, that probably requires him to no longer be alive
 
Crazy-pants failed Trump assassin identified: Ryan Wesley Routh

Frenzy-eyed Ryan Routh from 14 years ago,
looking a whole lot more human at the time, but no less crazy-pants.​


Short, recent video of this maniac hassling someone on the street while trying to recruit people for... something. "I'm looking for revolutionaries, I'm looking for people who want to take this whole system down".






There's a longer video of him floating around (easy to find) on an apparent trip to Romania, where he is delusionally babbling on and on essentially being pro-Ukraine, it being a black and white issue and yeah. The crazy is kinda oozing out of this one's ears.



A video with nutjob X posts readable:

Mike Benz comments about Ryan Routh, ie: "Forrest Gump" of CIA paramilitary activity. From what I've seen of the video so far, Mike Benz says this activity was a real, "prolific role" in this kind of thing.

Mike Benz said:
The spymasters have this complex recruiting process that sources things out to subcontractors, and subcontractors, and subcontractors, and the fact that this was a crazy person is no surprise.


Mike Benz said:
He is a crazy-person, he obviously has that sort of E. Jean Carroll cooky-eyed sort of cadence to his interviews, but the fact is, this is not uncommon. Because, oftentimes the way this happens is, the CIA has an operation, or the Special Forces has an operation, where they want to recruit crazy extremists to come fight a war a zillion miles away from where they live. And they need highly-deniable links in that recruiting process, so that there's no U.S. fingerprints on these terrorists coming on U.S. dime or coming to fight a U.S. operation. They have to look independent.
So what happens is, they put layers of layers of plausible deniability. The CIA will work through US Aid, or work through DynCorp, or work through the Rand Corporation networks, they will then subcontract that out, who will then subcontract that out to someone who is trusted in the network, and that person may go to their individual friends and family. ... as that person sort-of proves their utility, they get more and more responsibility in terms of these compartmentalized recruiting operations.

More at the video ...

There is an occasional problem with Mike Benz' mic, kinda sucks but its understandable. Maybe he needs a new mic.




So like, I wonder if the CIA/etc made Ryan Routh crazy, or did he show up at their door as a crazy-pants busybody? For sure, someone rode him hard and put him away wet, from that latest pic at the arrest.

I wonder if they will get Trump on the third fourth try? Ugh. Someone is trying hard to rob America of its election this year, one way or the other. He's got to really watch his ass. These close calls cannot continue happening or one of these attempts might actually succeed.

I'm hearing that at least at the moment, they have only chosen to charge Forrest Routh with 2 firearms-related charges.

If that's all he's charged with, it kinda looks like they are endeavoring to encourage more people to try to assassinate Trump, pitching the message that nothing really bad will happen legal-wise if you try and fail in certain respects.

Bill Barr blasts DOJ for releasing letter of alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh: ‘Dumbfounded’​

Former US Attorney General William Barr panned the Justice Department he once ran for publicly disclosing a chilling letter from the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump earlier this month.

In a court filing Monday, prosecutors released the disturbing note they claim was authored by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, as proof of his intention to kill the 45th president.

“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Barr told Fox News.

Prosecutors claimed to have acquired that note — addressed “To the World” — from an unnamed source who found it in a box they said was delivered to them by Routh prior to the shooting last week.

“The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage,” Barr went on.
 

House Judiciary criticizes DOJ over release of Ryan Wesley Routh’s chilling bounty letter​

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan criticized the Justice Department for releasing a disturbing letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassin who targeted former President Donald Trump — warning that its release could inspire copycats.

Jordan (R-Ohio), 60, sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, 71, on Wednesday raising the concerns while also pointing to the DOJ’s past resistance to divulging manifestos.

Prosecutors disclosed the chilling note — which offered a $150,000 bounty on Trump, 78, — in a public court filing Monday as part of a motion to hold Routh, 58 in pretrial detention.
 
The prospect of a US presidential candidate running a re-election campaign while being prosecuted for attempting to subvert the results of the last election is contemptuous.
