    Trump safe after gunshots in his vicinity at golf course; FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt

    One person is in custody after shots were fired near former President Donald Trump and an AR-style rifle was recovered near his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the incident told NBC News.

    Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement that the former president was "safe following gunshots in the vicinity." Authorities believe that the individual in custody had a weapon outside of the fence line of the golf course, law enforcement officials told NBC News. The officials said that the Secret Service spotted the person and opened fire after they believed the individual may have been taking aim.

    The FBI said the incident appeared to be “an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” and that it has launched an investigation.

    Taylor's fans are NOT all voting for Kamala... LMFAO!

    Why would someone want to shoot Trump? Who is ordering this? There is NO way this is all coincidental.

    If the suspect is in his mid-60's, it's almost certainly a left wing nut, but will withhold final judgment until the facts come out. They have him in custody, so hopefully we'll get more information on this one than we did for the 20 year-old. (although that bar is extremely low)

    Apparently the shooter is a very big Ukraine pumper on social media. Not too hard to figure out which way (he) leans...

    Shocking. Trump getting murdered in the polls and the fascists pull out yet another made up assassination attempt. Dip$#!+ is in full "Wag the Dog" mode trying to save his candidacy despite is obvious insanity.

    It's a good thing liberals can't shoot.

    This is the result of the propaganda the msm spews and we sadly see from some here. The hatred for Trump is real and dangerous!

    Would-be Trump assassin ID’d as Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii: sources


    Sounds like a party of small government supporter.

    You are correct in that a Ukraine supporter is usually not a supporter of pro-Russia Trump.

    But dontcha think this line is a bit absurd, even for....the most adamant Trumpies?
    - ....[he was] connected to Rep Adam Kinzinger through his support of Ukraine.

    Uh, numerous other people support Ukraine also.

    You might as well have typed "He shared many of the same beliefs as Donald Trump, such as that regularly breathing in oxygen is productive."

    Please explain this post? I don't see any "judgement" in the original post.

    Ehhhh... they have the suspect in custody and he has know connections to Adam Kinzinger. Don't think this was a false flag. Just your typical left-wing nut. Embarrassed?

    Supports Ukraine. Supports Ramaswamy and Haley. Vocal against Trump and Biden. A mixed bag like the last guy who donated a small amount to the Democratic Party in high school but was registered a Republican who was vocal against both Biden and Trump.
