*** Second Trump Assassination Attempt Livewire *** Law Enforcement Responds After Another Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump
Law enforcement is responding to West Palm Beach in Florida after the FBI reported that there was a second apparent assassination against Trump.
Trump, who was wounded by a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania at a rally mid-July survived to play golf on his West Palm Beach course on Sunday. The man who attempted to assassinate Trump was reportedly found by law enforcement officials in West Palm Beach.
Official and unofficial reports are awash with conflicting information, but Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s eldest child, said on Twitter that an AK-47 had been smuggled in the bushes of the golf course.
Other reports claim that the man also smuggled in a GoPro camera to film his attempt to do so.
Trump’s campaign said in a press release that Trump was safe following gunshots in the vicinity. The shots were fired by an unknown person. It is also not known if the gunman was alive or dead or in custody.
Soon, law enforcement officials from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office will brief the media, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
Breitbart News has live news updates and analysis of this situation.
UPDATE: 9:46 pm ET:
CNN reports that, in a separate incident to this one, Trump’s inner circle was informed this week by U.S. intelligence officials that foreign enemies were targeting them.
The Iranians appear to be the main target of the Iranians’ efforts to attack Trump and his entourage. This incident is not related to it, although the level of danger surrounding Trump has increased.
UPDATE: 9:40 pm ET:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, announced that the state will be conducting its own investigation separate from the federal probe.
UPDATE: 9:38 pm ET:
The U.K. Daily Mail spoke to the son of a would-be assassin, and he confirmed that his father does “hate” Donald Trump.
The Daily Mail article:
He said that his father hates Trump, as “every reasonable person” does.
The son said, “I also don’t like Trump.”
He said that his father is not violent and he couldn’t imagine his father targeting the president.
The son replied, ‘He is my father and as far as I am aware, he has only had a couple of traffic tickets. ‘That’s crazy. I love and know my father, but this is not him.
UPDATE: 9:36 pm ET:
Joe Biden, the president of the United States, has weighed in on this issue.
UPDATE: 8:25 pm ET:
According to a source from the campaign who gave Breitbart News its text, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles sent this letter on Sunday night to all staff of their campaigns:
Susie and i would like to give a short update on what happened today in West Palm Beach.
For the second time in less than two months, a monster has tried to kill President Trump. The Golf Course was thankfully safe. The United States Secret Service has done a great job in keeping President Trump and those who accompany him safe.
We do not take this matter lightly. We always put your safety first. Please be vigilant as you go about your daily business. Keep a constant awareness of your surroundings and be observant. Please follow the instructions of law enforcement officials, such as USSS, local authorities, and armed office security guards.
We must keep in mind that as we enter the final 50 days of President Trump’s campaign, it is only by working together and as a team will we be able to save America from those who want to destroy her. We must be able to deliver on the expectations of President Trump and Senator Vance.
We are always grateful for your strength, dedication, and courage.
This November, we will be victorious.
Chris and Susie
UPDATE: 8:15 pm ET:
The suspect gave multiple interviews to major media outlets, including the New York Times.
UPDATE: 7:47 pm ET:
Edward Snowden said that this story is probably more complex than it appears.
UPDATE: 7:42 pm ET:
Marc Caputo, a CNN reporter, confirmed just now that the X account is Routh’s.
The phraseology used by the assassination candidate for Trump and Kamala Harris is the same.
Both Harris, on Facebook, early in July, and Routh, who posted a X message this spring, publicly stated that “Democracy was on the ballot.”
UPDATE: 7:37 pm ET:
After this second attempt at assassinating Trump, there are some serious questions that need to be answered. For example, how could the assassins have progressed as far as they did in their attempts to assassinate Trump? Two times might not seem to be a coincidence, but one time may have seemed like an error. How did the would-be assassins find such weaknesses in Trump’s security plans and get so close to him twice in two months? Could there be more to this than meets the eye? Soon, people will be eager to find out the answer to that question.
UPDATE: 7:32 pm ET:
The establishment media continues to be reckless, and this is not surprising.
UPDATE: 7:28 pm ET:
Donald Trump Jr. identified the account of the would-be killer on X, formerly known by the name Twitter.
Several posts on this account suggest that Routh was trying to “get rid” of Trump or that he just wanted Trump “gone”.
Trump Jr. confirmed the AK-47 details before law enforcement, for example.
UPDATE: 7:25 pm ET:
Bernie Sanders, Senator from Vermont, said this on Twitter.
UPDATE: 6:36 pm ET:
Joe Biden is not the most attentive person on a Sunday, but he has been silent about the second attempt to assassinate Donald Trump.
White House released a statement today saying that Biden and Vice-President Harris (who replaced Biden after his terrible debate performance against Trump), were both briefed about this.
UPDATE: 6:22 pm ET:
NBC News reported that the suspect is Ryan Wesley Routh.
Routh’s social networking accounts are the subject of many rumors. These rumors are not confirmed yet, but we are working hard with other media outlets to confirm them.
UPDATE: 5:49 pm ET:
This was published on X (formerly Twitter) by the wife of anti Trump “whistleblower”, Alex Vindman, whose brother Eugene runs for Congress in Virginia.
She has been scathingly criticized.
UPDATE: 5:44 pm ET:
JD Vance, Trump’s running mate and Sen. JD (R-OH) speaks out. He says he spoke to Trump before the news was made public. Trump is in “good spirit”.
