President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time, said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman.
I am having a hard time taking this one seriously. Second assassination attempt, on his golf course.
UPDATE: Now someone has been detained, and the FBI is investigating. None of which makes me believe it was real more.

(3 posts)Questionable, but you can bank on the orange fella and his minions to spin this to deflect. He will stop at nothing and I do mean nothing. I can think of several ways to spin this.

Besides, isn't Florida an open carry state? Don't MAGAts revere the 2nd amendment? What's the big fuss? No one's dead, so we don't even have to do the tots and pears thing.

Like now, with the crazy fan girl that keeps climbing into the ring, Laura Loomer.
Or the up and coming rookie wrestler, V.D.Jance, who just cant seem to do anything right. Yet.

And with attack at the links of Mierda de Lardo the load of disinformation and misinformation and propaganda manure around Trump gets deeper, with no relief in sight before November 6.
