Trump golf club shooting: what we know so far

40 comments

1. Laura Loomer arranged the hit because she found out Trump had been unfaithful with Ivanka. Sorry for not expressing outrage, but this goes to the top of the news cycle, and starting five minutes ago, Trump's going to find a way to make political capital – and money – from it. He has the luck of an Adolf.

2. Oh my, how ther American elite dont want to let him get back in power.

3. Jeez why do people still live in the Untied States of America, I'm forever grateful I live in the UK

4. i smell a rat this time

5. Someone very high up is very scared of him

6. I thought Trump would be in church on a Sunday.

7. We all know that if he was shot, The Guardian et al would say he tripped and fell into a bullet…

8. Wow, bruh this is the 2nd time, I bet someone who was behind the first one was also behind this? That's why the main mastermind should never get away..

9. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

10. "It's just a part of life, America needs to move on" JD Vance, after the latest school shooting…

15. And still the Don lives on! They better try third time lucky before November 😂.

16. Not be long before it happens people with a grudge normally never lose he's been lucky so far

17. And just like that, Trump's disastrous debate performance was no longer the focus…Trump and his invisible accordian just need to move forward.

18. When you have threats on your life its a smart idea to go stand in a field with no cover with a fence around it thats cant possibly be secured all at once

19. Publicity stunt… The man is craving attention.

20. Shootings are ‘just a fact of life’ according to JD Vance

21. Another MagaTard angry with Donald…😂

22. Another Political stunt 😆

23. Love you Donald❤ The world needs you right now 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

24. We know so far a failed debate another assassination attempt!🫡

25. Here's a summary of what we know so far about the apparent assassination attempt at Donald Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida:

    On Sunday afternoon, U.S. Secret Service agents spotted a person with a firearm in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club, where the former president was playing. [1][2]
    
    The agents engaged the gunman, who was armed with what was described as an AK-47-style rifle, and fired at least 4 rounds. The suspect then dropped his weapon and other items and fled in a black Nissan car. [1][2]
    
    The suspect has been identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh. He was later apprehended by police on the I-95 highway. [2][3]
    
    Routh appears to have a criminal history, including convictions for offenses such as carrying a concealed weapon and possession of stolen property. He also had expressed pro-Ukrainian and anti-Chinese views on social media. [3]
    
    Trump was not injured in the incident. He was quickly ushered to safety by Secret Service agents. In a statement, Trump said he was "safe and well" and that "nothing will slow me down." [1][2]
    
    The FBI has called the incident "what appears to be an attempted assassination of the former president." Investigations are ongoing, involving the FBI, Secret Service, and local law enforcement. [1][2]
    
    Both President Biden and Vice President Harris have released statements expressing relief that Trump was unharmed and condemning political violence. [2]

26. Apparent, suspected, maybe, we think, possible. All the bastions of not having the slightest clue what happened. All designed to help ‘boost’ tRump. Pathetic‼️⛔️

27. Wow, this is unpresidented ! (<😂)…. has any other Us president or presidential candidate ever had two consecutive attempts made on their life?

28. The CIA should stop trying to do this with civilians and get a professional.

29. Praying for President Donald J Trump 🙏

30. This so called assassination attempts seems something 🐘 planned to get some more votes

31. third time's a charm

32. Never thought I would say this but guess Trump needs to build a higher wall around his golf course.

33. Mr trump should step back for his safety 🦺🛟🦺

34. Who else thought his actual golf club was shot? Lol

35. How did the guy even know 12 hours in advance that Trump would even be there?

36. The only people calling this an assassination attempt were the police, who did so immediately & far too quickly.

    The arrested suspect is a crazy, and could not have had any idea that Trump would go golfing because that was not on Trump's schedule for the day.

    No shots were fired at Trump, and the person is said never to have had a view of Trump.

    Honestly, folks, this smells like a 'Roger Stone dirty trick' to get publicity for Trump.

    Why don't the media ask about how a felon with a criminal history could get a weapon at all, or ask how common it is for people in America to be in the bushes of urban areas (hint — it's really common). Or why the Sheriff at the initial press conference blabbed the details of Trump's security arrangement (saying that they only check the bushes one or two holes ahead of Mr. Trump when he wants to go golfing unexpectedly).

    I smell Roger Stone.

37. The FBI are still searching for Trump's balls after this latest apparent assassination attempt

38. TRUMP 2024🎉

39. 🤔So now that’s 2 White Republicans that tried to take out trump but Republicans still talk about illegal immigrant that are criminals and mentally ill! Who’s really violent in America!🤷‍♂️

40. There are only two people in the world interested in this assassination attempt. Trump himself, to draw attention to his own worthlessness. And Putin, to draw attention to Trump's worthlessness, in the hope that Trump will destroy America!
