Former US President Donald Trump has been targeted again. For the second time in two months, someone tried to attack him during the presidential election. The attack was carried out in the golf course area of Florida. Trump was playing golf with his team when the gunfire began.
The man was hiding in the bushes and was firing. Meanwhile, Trump was hurriedly taken to the golf course lounge. The Secret Service, which took action due to the incident, retaliated and the attacker fled, leaving behind an AK-47 rifle, a backpack and other items. The defendant was subsequently arrested.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said Secret Service agents found a rifle barrel with a scope outside the golf club fence. The agent then retaliated. The Secret Service said the attacker was 250-350 meters away from Trump.
Trump’s golf plans not decided in advance
Trump was in Florida over the weekend. He was at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach. According to CNN, Trump’s golfing was not planned in advance. It was a last-minute decision.
Fortunately, I did not have to seek the services of a doctor.
When Trump learned of the attempted attack on him, he was shocked at first. He was surprised. But the next minute they were joking around. He called his advisers and colleagues to inform them of the incident and started joking around.
Trump made one such call to his White House physician, Ronnie L. Jackson. Jackson said Trump told him he was glad he didn’t have to use his services today. Let us tell you, Jackson is the same doctor who treated Trump’s ear right after the attack in Pennsylvania.
Trump was planning strategy to win golf tournament when attack occurred
Trump was playing golf with his friend and campaign donor Steve Witkoff at the Palm Beach Golf Club in Florida when the attack took place. Then gunshots were heard. Trump was between the fifth and sixth holes at the time. There were also Secret Service agents on the golf course when an agent noticed a rifle visible in the bushes. The agent fired in that direction and the man ran away, leaving his belongings behind.
Regarding this incident, Trump’s good friend and Fox News host’s son Hannity said that Trump was standing near the fifth hole of the golf course. He was about to hit the golf ball when he suddenly heard a “pa pa pa” sound. Then the Secret Service agents ran to the former President Trump to rescue him, surrounded him and took him to a safe place. Then Trump returned to his home.
Oops..can’t touch
Trump later told aides he was very disappointed he couldn’t finish his golf game, during which Trump even said he had an extra point in the game that he couldn’t take advantage of.
