Trump: Close Encounter with Gunman During Golf Game

Trump's Harrowing Experience on the Golf Course

Yesterday, during a routine golf outing at his West Palm Beach club, Trump experienced a life-threatening scenario. A gunman identified as Ryan Wesley Routh was hidden in nearby shrubbery, armed with an AK-style rifle and ready to attack. While playing on the course, a Secret Service agent noticed the rifle protruding from a fence and reacted swiftly, firing four to six rounds at the suspect.

Details of the Incident

• The incident occurred around 2 PM local time.
• Routh fled the scene but was captured later by law enforcement.
• No injuries were reported thanks to the quick thinking of Trump's protective team.

Aftermath and Security Concerns

In the aftermath of this close call, Trump assured his followers via email that he is safe, stating, “I AM SAFE AND WELL!” However, this alarming incident raises serious questions about the extent of security surrounding Trump, especially considering his bid for reelection in the US Election 2024.

Authorities continue to investigate the possible assassination attempt, as both state and federal charges loom for the suspect. Trump’s team is taking this threat seriously, aligning with the increased attention on his safety following a previous assassination attempt just two months prior.
