Why & Who tried to ATTACK! Donald Trump

Was it true?

Yes!

Trump’s Account of the Assassination Attempt

In a recent conversation on X Spaces, Donald Trump recounted a frightening incident during a peaceful Sunday morning golf outing. “I was with some friends, enjoying beautiful weather when suddenly we heard shots fired,” he explained. “It sounded like bullets—probably four or five shots.”

The former president detailed the swift actions taken by his Secret Service agent. “We quickly hopped into the golf carts and moved away from the course. The agent was remarkable; there was no doubt we needed to get out of there,” Trump said, expressing a hint of regret at not finishing his game.

He further described a tense moment when the agent spotted the gunman’s weapon through the bushes. “He could only see the barrel of the gun, and he started shooting in that direction,” Trump recounted. “It was a remarkable response under pressure. The other individual never got a shot off.”

Law enforcement was able to apprehend the suspect, thanks to a witness who saw the gunman fleeing and took a photo of his vehicle. This quick thinking contributed to a rapid response, ensuring the safety of everyone involved. Trump concluded the discussion by acknowledging the professionalism of those who acted to protect him and others that day.

Trump Acknowledges Civilian Witness and Secret Service Efforts

During a recent discussion, Trump expressed his admiration for the quick thinking and bravery of a civilian witness involved in the incident. “This individual performed exceptionally well—a woman, no less. It’s remarkable to consider how many people, given the same situation, would have the presence of mind to track someone down and document the back of their vehicle. The crucial element was the license plate. Once they obtained that information, the technology at their disposal enabled law enforcement to precisely locate the truck. I was previously unaware that such capabilities existed, but they managed to track him down on the highway with remarkable efficiency.”

Trump further commended the Secret Service for their swift and effective response. “It was an impressive situation overall. The agents did a fantastic job in handling the crisis, and they successfully apprehended the suspect. My hope is that he will remain in custody for a significant period, as he poses a serious threat to public safety—a truly dangerous individual.”
