Another assassination attempt, or an attempt at redirecting attention? [View all]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/15/trump-golf-course-shooting-west-palm-beach-florida/

Trump safe after gunshots fired in his vicinity at Florida golf course, campaign says.

Former president Donald Trump was uninjured after an individual opened fire at his golf course in Florida on Sunday, the Trump campaign said in a statement.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman.


I am having a hard time taking this one seriously. Second assassination attempt, on his golf course.

UPDATE: Now someone has been detained, and the FBI is investigating. None of which makes me believe it was real more.
