So did the SS detail exchange gunfire with a dude shooting an AK, or not?

The headlines are still "shots fired in vicinity of Trump", not that a firefight occurred.

What will really bake your noodle, if you're right of center is this:

Trump isn't a Caesar. We all know this. He's not going to prosecute the deep state, investigate the Clinton's etc. He's just not. That's not the type of guy that he is.

So, what is he really going to do if elected? Slow down centralized leftist plans. He's not going to hunt communists or shrink the government, he's merely going to slow things down.

They are going this hard at him, for a guy that's just going to slow things down slightly.

Imbeciles are convinced DJT is Hitler.  They have a moral obligation.

Interesting they may have caught the shooter alive this time.

Quoted:
The media vilified Trump and there are a lot of mentally ill people that think he is a monster.

Quoted:

1. The golf course in West Palm Beach is not on the island

2. The golf course in West Palm Beach is surrounded by lower income neighborhoods on all sides

So the original story was certainly believable, but it sounds like the story has changed from that.

Everyone betting pmags who’s going to be president - better bet would be if he’s going to make it to November.

I doubt it. They won’t stop

Trump is safe after Secret Service opened fire at suspected person with firearm near his golf club

By  ALANNA DURKING RICHER, COLLEEN LONG and MICHAEL BALSAMO

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire after seeing a person with a firearm near former President Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while he was golfing Sunday, according to two law enforcement officials. The Republican presidential candidate is safe.

The person fled in an SUV and was later apprehended in a nearby county by local law enforcement, the officials said. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity about an ongoing investigation.

An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump’s golf course, one of the officials and a third law enforcement official said.

The golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, and agents were a few holes ahead of him when they noticed the person with the firearm, the officials said. The person appeared to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence line and that’s when agents fired, the officials said

Trump’s campaign and the Secret Service said Trump was safe, and the agency said it was investigating the incident that occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

The incident comes roughly two months after Trump was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, and a bullet grazed his ear.

Trump had returned to Florida this weekend from a West Coast swing that included a Friday night rally in Las Vegas and a Utah fundraiser.

No injuries were reported, according to a spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

The White House said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, had both been briefed and would be kept updated on the investigation. The White House added they were “relieved” to know Trump is safe.

Harris, in a statement said she was “glad” Trump was safe, adding that “violence has no place in America.”

In an X post, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C, one of Trump’s top congressional allies, said he had spoken with Trump after the incident and that Trump was in “good spirits” and was “one of the strongest people I’ve ever known.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post on Sunday that it has stopped a vehicle on northbound Interstate 95 and taken a suspect into custody who is believed to be connected to the shooting.

The sheriff’s office said it made the stop after authorities in neighboring Palm Beach County put out a “be on the lookout” alert.

The post by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office indicated the suspect was apprehended near Palm City, Florida, about a 45-mile drive north of Trump’s golf course. Northbound lanes of I-95 were shut down, the sheriff’s office said.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has been briefed on the situation and is receiving regular updates about it, a Justice Department spokeswoman said.

Trump often spends the morning playing golf, before having lunch at the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, one of three he owns in the state.

Trump has had a stepped-up security footprint since the assassination attempt in July. When he has been at Trump Tower in New York, a lineup of dump trucks have parked in a wall outside the building. And at outdoor rallies, he now speaks from behind an enclosure of bulletproof glass.

A message sent to campaign officials seeking information on the security status and location of Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, was not immediately returned.

Max Egusquiza, of Palm Beach, described the emergency response outside Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.

“From what I saw 5 black unmarked SUVs blocked in a grey Mercedes in front of the golf course. There were about 20 or more cop cars flying from nearby streets,” he said.
