LOADINGERROR LOADING

Former President Donald Trump argued that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ rhetoric “is causing me to be shot at,” although the two Democrats have condemned violence in the wake of a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life.

A man was arrested Sunday after Secret Service agents accompanying Trump during a round of golf spotted the muzzle of an assault rifle through the shrubbery by Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The FBI said the incident appeared to be an attempted assassination.

Biden and Harris were both briefed on the situation and expressed gratitude that Trump had remained safe after the incident. Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), also shared his relief that Trump was unharmed.

While posting about the news, Trump continued his anti-immigrant fearmongering after his running mate spread a conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were stealing local pets for food. Vance continued to promote that narrative even as it was debunked by multiple local officials.

Secret Service Warned Trump Years Ago Of Safety Risks Of His Golf Outings: Report

The Secret Service had reportedly warned Trump shortly after he became president in 2017 of the possible safety risks of golfing at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads, The Washington Post reported Monday.

Former U.S. officials told The Post that the Secret Service pointed out that if photographers can catch sight of Trump on his golf courses, so could potential gunmen.

But Trump reportedly dismissed the warning and insisted that his golf clubs were safe and that he wanted to keep playing there, posing threats to his safety that only intensified after he left office as there was less security and fewer agents guarding him.
