"Nothing will slow me down!"

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (PNN) - September 16, 2024 - Shots were exchanged between a shooter and Secret Service at Trump International Gold Club as President Donald J. Trump played.

The shooter has been identified as Ryan Routh, whose social media posts suggest he was a Trump-hating, Ukraine-war-supporting liberal.

Trump was not given complete perimeter protection because he is not a sitting president (despite being hit by an assassin's bullet a couple of months ago).

“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach, Florida, and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of President Trump,” said an official statement by the FBI.

Another official commented that Trump was "probably 300-500 yards" from the alleged shooter.

Trump has issued a statement confirming that he is "safe and well" and declaring "nothing will slow me down."

The Associated Press reports that the alleged shooter fled in an SUV and was later apprehended in a nearby county by local cops. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity about an ongoing investigation.

An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near President Trump’s golf course, one of the officials and a third cop said.

The golf course was partially shut down for Trump while he played, and agents were a few holes ahead of him when they noticed the person with the firearm, the officials said.

The person appeared to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence line and that’s when agents fired, the officials said.

CNN reported that terrorist pig thug cops have recovered a backpack and a GoPro camera.

They think the attempted Trump shooter wanted to film it.

Meanwhile, it turns out the Secret Service was again inadequate.

"The threat level is high," Rafael Barros, the special agent in charge for the Secret Service, Miami field office, said during the Sunday news conference.

"We live in dangerous times," he added.

Secret Service fired at the suspect, according to multiple sources.

A long gun (Don Jr. confirmed it was an AK-47) has been recovered, according to the source.

However, one thing we know for sure… the same rhetoric that likely prompted the first assassination attempt has not stopped.

MSNBC quickly responded with near-perfect projection, demanding that the Trump campaign tone down its rhetoric.

Though, of course, everyone will quickly decry political violence, but weren't we told that "words are violence" too?
