In a recent conversation on X Spaces, former President Donald Trump shared his experience of the apparent assassination attempt on Sunday. He started by describing the peaceful atmosphere of the golf course where he was playing with friends on a beautiful Sunday morning. Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Trump recalled hearing four or five shots, which sounded like bullets, and immediately Secret Service sprang into action.
Trump commended the Secret Service for their quick response and praised his friend Steve Witkoff for also helping to ensure his safety. The group immediately got into golf carts and moved away from the area, with Trump being escorted by an agent who did a fantastic job. Trump expressed his disappointment at not being able to finish his game, but the safety of his team was the top priority.
The former president then recounted how the agent spotted the gun through the bushes and began shooting towards it. Trump was amazed at the agent's accuracy, as he could only see the barrel of the gun. The agent continued to fire and ran towards the target, while the other person with the gun never got a shot off. Trump praised the agent for his bravery and quick thinking.
Trump then went on to explain how law enforcement was able to apprehend the gunman with the help of a witness who saw the suspect fleeing from the bushes and took a picture of his car. The civilian, a woman, did a phenomenal job and provided crucial information that led to the suspect's arrest. Trump was impressed by her quick thinking and praised her for her bravery.
The former president also expressed his surprise at the advanced technology used by law enforcement to track down the suspect using the license plate number. He had no idea such technology existed and was amazed by its effectiveness. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, has been charged with multiple gun-related offenses and appeared in federal court on Monday morning.
Trump thanked the Secret Service for their excellent job in ensuring his safety and expressed relief that the dangerous suspect was now behind bars. He also mentioned his conversation with President Joe Biden, who reached out to check on his well-being and to ask for any suggestions on improving his security detail.
Trump also took the opportunity to address his earlier comments, where he had blamed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the attempt on his life. He clarified that while their rhetoric may have played a role, the real threat was the dangerous individual who had attempted to harm him.
In response to the incident, Biden stated that he wants Congress to provide more support to the Secret Service. Meanwhile, the investigation into the incident is ongoing, and law enforcement officials have not ruled out the possibility of bringing additional charges against the suspect.
In the end, Trump expressed his gratitude to the Secret Service, law enforcement, and the witness who helped prevent a potential tragedy. He also urged people to follow the breaking news, celebrity, and sports updates through the CNN WhatsApp channel, which ensures privacy and no unwanted comments or algorithms.
