Trump safe after a second alleged assassination attempt

In the former president's own words, before rumours began to circulate, out of control: ‘I want you to hear it from me: I am safe and sound. Nothing is going to stop me and I will never give up’. 

In the same vein, Donald Trump thanked the American people for their unwavering support, and added that ‘peace and unity make America great’. 

The secret security services confirmed, in a brief press conference, that they opened fire on a person, already identified, who was carrying a gun and was near a tree line, on the golf course near Mar A Lago Club, in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

Apparently, just after 2 p.m. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw found two backpacks on a fence, along with a rifle with a scope and a GoPro camera at the scene after the suspect fled the scene. The FBI indicated that this was another alleged attempt on Donald Trump's life. 

An image (on the former president's account) from the aforementioned sheriff showed that there had been a police chase on I-95. According to the same source, the suspect was arrested in the neighbouring county of Martin. This happened on the same day that Trump uploaded a publication to his profile on the social network TruthSocial: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’, and another publication, under the words: ‘THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES IS A TRUE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!’ 

The man, already in police custody, following the alleged assassination attempt on the former president, is Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Greensboro, North Carolina. His X account is full of attempts to recruit people to go fight for Ukraine and Taiwan, along with anti-Semitic content.
