Here We Go Again! Another ‘Pity Party’ MAGA Fundraising Stunt

Well, it’s happened again. A second ‘assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump.

This time, on his golf course in Florida. It seems he’s taking time off from campaigning to play a few rounds of golf. But he can cheat at that and nobody cares!

The FBI issued the following statement:

“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.”

A representative of U.S. Secret Service said at a news conference on Sept. 15 that Secret Service personnel opened fire on a suspected gunman “located near the property line” of the Trump International Golf Course, adding that it’s under investigation.

Trump sent out an emailed statement more than an hour after his campaign released their brief statement confirming that he is “safe and well” after the incident.

“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” Trump said. “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.”

The Palm Beach County Sheriff said at the news conference that officials recovered an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks that had “ceramic tile” inside, and a GoPro camera.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the suspect had “a GoPro on the fence there, where he was intent on filming what was going on.”

Photos shared by law enforcement on Sept. 15 showed what appeared to be two black bags hanging from a fence near the golf course. A firearm was between them and was pointed through a gap in the fence, and the GoPro was hanging to the side.

A Secret Service agent, stationed near Trump while he was golfing, “was able to spot this rifle barrel” and “immediately [engaged] that individual, at which time the individual took off,” Bradshaw added.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said in a statement that an individual connected to the incident at the Trump International Golf Course has been taken into custody.

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told reporters on the afternoon of Sept. 15 that the suspect was detained as he was driving northbound on I-95, crossing from Palm Beach County into Martin County. Federal investigators are involved, he added.

Snyder further said the suspect “was relatively calm” and was “not displaying a lot of emotions.” The sheriff also added that the car had been involved in an accident. The vehicle is now in the custody of the FBI, he said.

The White House said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, had both been briefed, releasing the following statement:

“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.”

Vice President Harris released her own statement on Sept. 15. She said that she is “glad he is safe” and that “violence has no place in America.”

Of course, it didn’t take long for the Trumpublican Senators to fall in line. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wrote on social media platform X that he spoke with the former president after the reported shooting, adding that he is in “good spirits” and is “one of the strongest people” he’s known.

“He is more resolved than ever to save our country,” Graham added.

The incident comes just two months after a would-be assassin fired multiple shots at Trump as he was speaking at a Pennsylvania rally, with one bullet (supposedly) striking him in the ear. One rally-goer was killed and two others were injured.

In our news wrap Sunday, Secret Service agents opened fire on a person with a firearm near Trump at his golf club in Florida, a university in Springfield, Ohio received a shooting threat targeting Haitian community members, Houthi rebels fired a missile into central Israel, several people died trying to cross the English Channel, and Venezuela accused three Americans of plotting to kill Maduro.

The shooting suspect in this incident was shot and killed just moments after he fired at the former president. Federal and state law enforcement officials have not publicly disclosed a motive of the shooter.
