It's funny the police officer keeps calling Trump the president.
The header is wrong. Trump is alive, but not save as hunting for him is not over yet.
Trump is the best and needs to be back in the drivers seat GO TRUMP!
Of course Trump is okay. And will continue to be. For it is very apparent God is watching out for the man since He knows you can't rely on the Secret Service. The Secret Service will need to be "purged" once Trump is President. I don't see how Democrats can't expect payback for this? It's time Republicans take America back from her enemies, the Democrat Party.
Violence and political violence is not acceptable. Vote blue in November.
That’s a shame
God is absolutely protecting trump
Why can’t they leave trump alone why do they hate him so much?
Woow "apparent". As they seek to downplay a fact that should be alarming, I don't think these editors are stupid, rather they know what they are writing. This is a manipulation of language to maintain public opinion at your convenience.
Gonna be crazy when they succeed and the murderer becomes the president
I thought the secret service kept the movements and itinerary of their protectees secret. Trump was on his personal time. Not at a public event. How would the obviously prepared suspect know he would be showing up there? That is just one of three odd things about this story that is puzzling.
Ummm…trump is obviously trying to shove harris out of the news cycle. I am not completely sure this 'assassination attempt' was not staged. Some things are not making sense. It is reported the suspect parked his car along a highway near some bushes surrounding the perimeter of the golf course. Some reports say he waited either in his car or in the bushes for up to 12 hours. Because he knew trump would be out there on the course? Had the secret service maintained a 360 degree surveillance of the perimeter they would have spotted the car sitting there for hours. How did the suspect know trump would be out golfing at sometime that day? Then an eagle eyes agent spots the gun barrel sticking out of the bushes and began shooting. The suspect then manages to run to his parked car leaving his gun, a backpack and scope having never fired any rounds at trump. From news reports the accounts of his very quick capture remain sketchy. You would think the SS having failed so badly in the first assassination attempt would really secure the perimeter of that golf course. Yet no one notice the vehicle?And why doesn't the SS use real time drones surveillance? It just doesn't add up..
well, third time’s the charm..
Democrat hit
I firmly believe that it's well past time to hold mainstream media responsible for all of the incitement of riots they are the sole perpetrators of. It may even be time to sequester such entities as CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC & CBS from being allowed to continue to maintain their broadcasting licenses. A good argument could be made that the American people could and should begin a class-action lawsuit against the aforementioned entities to collect financial damage awards to everyone that has lost a loved one or had their business 'removed' due to and as a direct result of their words and actions.^
There needs to be more information about this man, not just the same cover up by federal government officials that blew results in Butler, Pennsylvania 💔🇺🇸💔Protect President Trump
All Bout Communism
The art of war is in full display.
The craft of radicalization is an old one.
The practice of agitating the mentality challenged is documented in ancient texts.
They believed they were spirits in their subjects. But, manipulation was the tactics.
The world order will bring war on the American people before they let Trump and this team who know who the plants are into a position of power to stop their planned population check again.
AGAIN!!
if the Marines were guarding Trump they would have a recon unit outside the fence and patrols armed wirh rifles walking the fenceline. I hope the Secret Service Agent doesn't get disciplined from stopping the assassination.
Notice how ABC says "apparent assassination attempt". This is ABC spining the news again. I'm done with ABC. I was done with Disney years ago,
You are telling me the Democrats can give our Money, over $20K per Illegal Immigrants, but can’t afford to hire enough Secret Service for Donald Trump??!! Come on! 😡
Real news? I don’t think so. It’s just like your boy David did at the Trump/Harris debate.
Trump stays alive again. This a one more failure of secret service.
This news about this second attempt on trumps life is in the result of Congress not signing a budget plan for Secret Service with short term funding to hire more people !
Thats to bad…
Sounds all fake
we don't trust the FBI or the SS
