Trump Describes What Happened During 2nd Assassination Attempt

Speaking on an X space on Monday, former President Donald Trump described what happened on Sunday during an apparent assassin attempt while he was playing golf.

Trump said on X:

So I was playing golf with some of my friends; it was on a Sunday morning, and very peaceful, very beautiful weather. Everything was beautiful. It was a nice place to be, and all of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets. But what do I know about that?

But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me, and I think probably the other one, Steve is one of the people. Steve Witkoff, a great friend of mine, a great, great businessman from mostly New York and Florida, great businessman, and more importantly, just a fantastic person. So we’re in the group, and everybody just — we got into the carts, and we moved along pretty, pretty good. I was with an agent, and the agent did a fantastic job. There was no question that we were off that course. I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here.

And what the gunfire was actually, interestingly, was a Secret Service agent had seen a barrel of a AK 47, which is a very powerful gun, rifle, and he started shooting at the barrel. Started shooting in the bushes. Could only see the barrel. How good is that, right? Could only see the barrel. Based on that, he started shooting and ran toward the target, and was shooting a lot of — I mean, those were the shots we heard. The other one never got a shot off.

And he ran across the street and grabbed his car, hopped into his truck or car, and amazingly, a civilian in that area saw something, and it looked very suspicious, and in the car, drove their car to the back of his truck, of some kind, and took pictures of the license plate, gave him to the sheriff’s office. Sheriff Bradshaw was fantastic. Very great sheriff for a long time, and within a fairly short period of time, they tracked him down on the highways, pretty high speed chase, and they ended up getting him. They got him.

You wouldn’t want to have somebody like that out there. You know, he dropped his gun, the AK 47, he left his gun. He left a cameras behind. He left a lot of things behind. So the agent did a fantastic job. The civilian did a phenomenal job. A woman. I mean, who would take you could take 1000 times like that, how many people would have the brainpower to follow him and how many inches of the back of his truck and get pictures so  that they end up getting — and the key was the license. So they got the license, and after they had the license, you know, there’s all sorts of technology where they can literally pinpoint where this truck is. I never knew something like that existed. And they pinpointed him on the highway. They got him with a high speed chase. So they got him. It was amazing. So Secret Service did a great job. And I think I can say, honestly, the sheriff’s office, law enforcement, everybody really did a great job. Kind of happy about that.
