Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf club

Donald Trump was the target Sunday of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the FBI said, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody.

U.S. Secret Service agents posted a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away.

An agent fired and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled in an SUV, leaving the firearm behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said. The man was later taken into custody in a neighboring county.

Now is not the time to be politicizing this everyday occurrence. This is just something we have to live with. Thoughts and prayers. 💙

I wish media would hold off calling it an assassination attempt until more is known.

Trump the time traveller changed time by surviving the first attempt, which is when he was supposed to die and now time is trying to course correct which is why yesterday there was a 3rd attempt Trump is running out of time before time catches up with him..
