Was there a shooting at Mar-a-Lago? |
U.S. Secret Service confirms that a firearm was recovered after a shooting near the former president's estate. Another assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump.
The Trump campaign said Trump is safe Sunday after possible gunshots rang out in his vicinity on his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Ryan Wesley Routh is the attempted shooter. The suspect was arrested. He is a resident of Greensboro, North Carolina. He is a white man, not a Muslim, immigrant, not a Black man or a Democrat.
A source familiar with the matter told NBC News that Trump was immediately rushed to a safety and is safe, the source added.
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said, “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.”
Trump and his moronic allies posted this. |
“The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
A senior law enforcement official briefed on the incident told NBC News that Trump was on the golf course when what sounded like gunfire was heard in the near distance.
As a precaution, the Secret Service moved him to safety, but there was no evidence that Trump was targeted. Local police are looking into the cause of the sound of what may have been gunfire.
In a post on X, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he had spoken with Trump following the incident. He did not share any information about Trump’s condition but added, “He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.”
The White House said in a statement, “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

Trump is planning to visit Springfield, Ohio, "soon," a source familiar with the planning told NBC News.
The town has become the epicenter of a national political fight on immigration, with Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, spreading baseless conspiracy theories that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating dogs and other pets.
The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.
“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.
Later, in an interview with CNN, Vance echoed his remarks from earlier in the morning and blasted the "American media" for not paying attention to what he alleged was happening in Springfield.
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance said.
Questioned about what he meant by "creat[ing] stories," Vance said “I say that we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it.”
Asked whether she accepts that Trump and Vance's claims are untrue, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, who is also Trump's daughter-in-law, told Fox News, "It is not up to me to decide that. This information came directly from the people of Springfield. No one at our campaign — Donald Trump did not make this up himself."

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."
Can we handle four more years of chaos? |
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence as well.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
