1. publicity stunt I bet

[Nikossitti]

2. No question about it

He doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process.

[BigDemVoter]

9. EXACTLY what I was just thinking.

There will be non-stop yapping about this all day.

[mysteryowl]

20. He plays the victim card again.

[PatSeg]

43. I wouldn't be surprised

He got so much sympathy the last time, maybe he's looking for a rerun. Lately, nothing else seems to be working for him.

[hlthe2b]

12. Yup... No one serious would merely stand out there shooting rounds at the gates or trees, or porta potties of his

friggin golf course. What would be the point except to get the MSM to think that shitty, lying TSF were somehow at risk?

Publicity stunt, indeed.

[onenote]

17. Nope. Just two idiots shooting at each other.

[WhiteTara]

19. or Vance wants to hasten his own path

to the throne?

[Eko]

3. The Daily Mail is crap.

Multiple shots were fired near Donald Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach. 'President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,'
Title is incorrect at least at this moment.

[yourout]

5. Sounds suspicious.

[Initech]

35. If you read the whole article, two idiots got in a fight and guns were drawn.

Think like that scene from the Big Lebowski when Walter pulled the gun on Smokey during the tournament.

[FalloutShelter]

6. I'm sorry but I smell a rat.

Where is the secret service?

[Dennis Donovan]

7. MSNBC reporting shots fired in vicinity of course

Breaking, so not much beyond that has been reported.

[AngryOldDem]

8. I'm skeptical.

MSNBC is reporting it as well.

Given I’m not entirely buying the first “attempt,” with the miraculous healing of his ear, my first reaction was cool story, bro.

Reading about Jr being stupid. I saw this pop up and was going to check it out before I posted.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. When I originally searched for other sources, what came up was

"Daily Mail"
"New York Post"
"The Telegraph"
"Washington Times"

THAT was a huge 🚩

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. The shooters were targeting each other, and the gunfire was not targeting Trump

Two people exchanged gunfire outside of Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach. The shooters were targeting each other, and the gunfire was not targeting Trump, the sources said.

Sources said that Trump was never in danger and that the shooting happened in an area outside the club that is known for high crime.

[Turbineguy]

16. Never mind, it was just a couple of Florida Men.

BTW. Under Florida law, if you are struck in the cross fire, you cannot sue.

[TomCADem]

22. Since this is Florida, Both Individuals Could Argue They Were Standing Their Ground

This is what happens you have a bunch of random folks carrying fire arms. It becomes way too easy for someone to resort to a 2nd Amendment solution for life’s problems.

There are way too many examples of folks pulling guns in road rage incidents.

[Stallion]

25. So...just another average day in America

[EarthFirst]

44. I give it 24 hours before he brings this up and frames it far differently...

…and twenty four is probably being generous.

[Mark.b2]

45. probably just a couple gang bangers doing what they do...

My bet is Trump was far from danger.

[Cha]

46. TY for this Tweet showing what really happened.

[Vinca]

14. The reporting on TV is "in the vicinity of" the golf course. Probably has nothing to do with him, but

he'll use it for all he's worth to bleed some money out of the cult.

[samnsara]

15. the less time we all give to this the better..i hope MSM agrees

..cuz I dont believe it...even if its true I dont care. Its gonna keep happening to trump for real cuz everyone in the world wants him.....well, you know what.

[mysteryowl]

18. Could be a diversion from SCOTUS corruption-news today

[onenote]

21. Or could be nothing. Which it appears to be.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. And not just that story

but a WHOLE LOT of things needing a diversion!

[ReRe]

24. I say

BULL SHIT. Nothing more than a publicity stunt.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. DonOld is like a 6 yr old trying to get attention. Give it up DonOld. No-one-cares. nt

[brewens]

27. Damn. I was hoping it was going to be on the course at least. That would be great PR. :) n/t

[AngryOldDem]

34. Having a bad day on the course and his partners didn't allow a mulligan?

[flying_wahini]

28. Maybe a swiftly Dad?

Just kidding.

[LymphocyteLover]

40. I'm sure that's what the Trump people will claim

[orangecrush]

30. I'll keep my ear open

For more info.

[Wonder Why]

62. The one with the bandage? 😁😁😁😁😁

[twodogsbarking]

31. They are not here to harm ME. Historic.

[HagathaCrispy]

32. More Ketchup?

Did they forget the ketchup this time?

[Initech]

33. Give an idiot a gun, don't be surprised when they do something stupid with it.

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. Shot's fired?? More likely that TSF had bean burritos for lunch.

[Marigold]

37. Whew! I am so relieved he was not in danger!

Who knew promoting the ownership and use of guns, including "AK -47's" as Don, Jr. reported would result in gunfire? And sometimes nearby?

[ZonkerHarris]

39. Forget it Jake, it's Florida.

[LymphocyteLover]

41. I'm skeptical, and I agree with this:

42. Shooting at cats??!

[LiberalFighter]

47. MSNBC shows Gun Club Estates nearby on map

The woman expert of what I don't know seems to be creating multiple possible scenarios.

[Evolve Dammit]

50. Welcome to Bif Land. Back to the Future Bif. Lots of parallels. Buckle up. 9 years and counting...

[live love laugh]

51. Desperados

[polichick]

52. Will probably bump that John Roberts story out of the news. Timely.

[JohnSJ]

53. Probably, but the roberts story isn't a surprise. Most of us here knew roberts and his gang were covering for trump.

[polichick]

55. Nothing will come of it anyway - no justice in the good ol' USA.

[JohnSJ]

56. You are right.

[orleans]

60. don't know about the story. now i have to google john roberts nt

[dflprincess]

54. Per MSNBC the FBI is now calling it an "apparent assassination attempt".

To which I say "Sure Jan."

[FakeNoose]

57. Somebody spotted an alligator loose, and they decided to protect the former Prez

It's too early for buck season....

[mucifer]

58. I just turned on msnbc . This will be an uninterrupted story for at least 24 hours.

[prodigitalson]

61. yep

[cstanleytech]

59. Security is so tight there if it was on the grounds it was staged. Off grounds either domestic violence or robbery.

[BrightKnight]

63. another disillusioned Trump humper. ...or theater -nt

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

64. Never piss off a Swiftie.

[Emile]

65. After an alert and discussion with the hosts, locking.

The consensus with the hosts is "The Daily Mail" is the UK equivalent of the National Enquirer - hardly a reputable mainstream news website or blog.
