(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said the Secret Service and law enforcement did an “absolutely outstanding” job of protecting him from another assassination attempt while golfing at his Florida course in West Palm Beach.
See the tweet below.
This comes two months after another attempt on his life during a Pennsylvania rally. The FBI said Trump was unharmed while describing the incident as “an attempted assassination.”
“THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes — It was certainly an interesting day!”
He added:
“Most importantly, I want to thank the US Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated patriots, and, all of the law enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election, SAFE.”
Moreover, local reports say Secret Service agents fired at a man who was aiming an AK-style rifle with a scope while Trump was golfing with donor Steve Witkoff. Shots rang out.
Trump’s opponent in the upcoming election Kamala Harris, issued a statement: “violence has no place in America.”
Biden echoed the sentiment, saying he instructed his team to ensure the Secret Service “has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former president’s continued safety.”
Elon Musk, responding to questions about why Trump was being targeted, stirred controversy when he replied: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”
In turn, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted with concern: “Sara and I were shocked by the second assassination attempt against [former] president Trump and were relieved to hear that it too failed. But we should not rely on luck.”
This incident follows the July 13 assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally, where a bullet grazed Trump’s ear, raising questions about the Secret Service’s operations after they admitted to failures in that case.
Trump’s security has been tighter than usual, especially after the failed July attack.
While former presidents and their spouses receive lifetime Secret Service protection, the intensity of that protection varies based on threat levels. Given Trump’s high visibility and active campaign for the presidency, his security details have been particularly robust.
