Trump Recounts Moment He Was Whisked From Golf Course, Heaps Praise On Secret Service
HuffPost
The former president again suggested Democrats' "rhetoric" had put him in harm's way.
Former President Donald Trump recounted hearing gunshots as Secret Service agents thwarted an apparent assassination attempt against him at his golf club in Florida, praising the agency for doing an “excellent job” to keep him safe.
Trump spoke at length about the events on Sunday during a cryptocurrency event host on X, formerly Twitter.
“I was playing golf with some of my friends … very peaceful, very beautiful weather,” Trump recalled. “All of the sudden we heard shots being fired in the air, I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets. But what do I know about that?”
“The Secret Service did an excellent job, and they have the man behind bars, and hopefully he’s going to be there a long time,” Trump said earlier in the conversation. “Dangerous person. Very, very dangerous person.”
He went on to quip that he would’ve “loved to sink that last putt” before he was whisked off the course.
