Former US president Donald Trump was reported safe after an assassination attempt while he was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday (Sep 15).

Former US president Donald Trump was reported safe after an assassination attempt while he was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday (Sep 15). The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, allegedly pointed an AK-47-style rifle at Trump from about 400-500 yards away but was quickly stopped by Secret Service agents. Routh fled the scene but was later apprehended by law enforcement. Here are five things you need to know about the assassination attempt: Why was Trump targeted? As of now, the motive behind the assassination attempt is not known. Trump's visibility as a 2024 Republican presidential candidate has made him a high-profile target. Also read | 'I will NEVER SURRENDER': Donald Trump 'safe and well' after second assassination attempt in two months This was the second attempt on Trump's life in two months. Previously, the Republican presidential candidate for the 2024 US Elections was shot at in an alleged assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. At the time, he narrowly escaped the attack as the bullet grazed his right ear. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, as per the FBI, saw the Trump rally as a "target of opportunity". Who is the suspect? The suspect has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh. While Routh attempted to flee the scene, he was captured in a neighbouring county. According to reports, Routh, the would-be assassin, has a troubling criminal history. According to AP, he was previously convicted in 2002 for possessing a weapon of mass destruction, a charge linked to a stand-off with North Carolina police involving a fully automatic machine gun. Authorities say that, on Sunday, Routh was positioned 400 to 500 yards away from Trump, hiding in shrubbery while aiming the weapon. Two backpacks and a GoPro camera were found at the scene, but the motive remains unclear. How did the incident unfold? Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw revealed that Trump was playing on the course when Secret Service agents noticed Routh. When people hide in the shrubbery, "they're pretty much out of sight," said Bradshaw. However, the agents spotted the barrel of the rifle peeking out. The situation escalated quickly, with the Secret Service responding immediately. Also read | Who is Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump What has Trump said? Trump addressed the incident directly, reassuring supporters via email, "There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumours start spiralling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!" His running mate, JD Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham confirmed that Trump was in "good spirits" after the event. Fox News host Sean Hannity, a close confidant, recounted a conversation with Trump's golfing partner, Steve Witkoff, who said Secret Service agents quickly shielded the former president and whisked him away in a reinforced golf cart. In true Trump fashion, he later quipped that he regretted not finishing his round, as he "was even and had a birdie putt". What did the White House say? The White House has confirmed that US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were being kept updated on the investigation. The two leaders extended their message of relief that Trump had not been harmed. In a statement on X, Biden said he was "relieved that the former president is unarmed". I am relieved that the former President is unharmed. There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened. — President Biden (@POTUS) September 16, 2024 × "As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that the Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s continued safety," he added in a subsequent post. Harris also said she was "glad he (Trump) is safe" and stated that "Violence has no place in America."

Tim Walz calls Trump 'the smallest man who ever lived' in Taylor Swift-inspired jab

<p>US Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been seen with a certain Ms Laura Loomer in the past few days. She was in the audience when Trump debated with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and also at an event commemorating the 9/11 attacks.</p>

<p>Several Republicans are sweating to see Trump with Laura Loomer. This is because she has had her fair share of controversies. The former congressional candidate is known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric. She is a hard-right conspiracy theorist who claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job" carried out by the US government.</p>

<p>In the past few weeks, Loomer had entered Trump's inner circle and is often seen with him. She even flew with him on his airplane to Philadelphia for the presidential debate. He was also once seen calling out to her during a press conference. Loomer was also with him at his Bedminster club. She has been openly talking about and praising Trump for months now.</p>

<p>At the debate, Trump talked on stage about Haitian migrants eating pets in a city in Ohio. "They are eating the pets of the people that live there," he said. While Kamala Harris laughed off the comment, the moderators jumped in to clarify that they had reached out to officials in Springfield and no proof of such activities has ever been found.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Loomer's "curry" comment on Harris</h2>

<p>Many believe that Trump dared to bring up the matter on stage because of Loomer. Just a day before the debate, Loomer stressed the claims to her 1.2 million followers on X.</p>

<p>She regularly posts in support of Trump on her X handle. Recently, she even attacked Kamala Harris.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, Loomer was once kicked off Twitter, now X, for her views and hate posts. After Elon Musk took over, she made a comeback. Musk is also going all out to support Trump in the race for the White House.</p>

<h2>Republicans are not happy to see Loomer with Trump</h2>

<p>Several Republicans are clearly not happy with Loomer's proximity to Trump. One of his supporters said, “Everyone who works for him thinks she’s a liability."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Loomer's “rhetoric and hateful tone” is concerning and a problem and “doesn’t represent MAGA as a whole.” Greene, who is well-known for her inflammatory statements, called on Loomer to take down the post on Harris. Calling the post “extremely racist,” she wrote in a response, “This does not represent President Trump.”</p>

Ahead of the much-awaited September 10 (Tuesday) debate, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday (Sep 7) at a rally in Wisconsin accused his democrat rivals President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of running a "rouge regime". A leftist dictatorship? Trump, who in December of last year had promised if elected he'll only be a dictator for one day, unleashed a tirade of insults and dark imagery against Harris.

Delivering the remarks to a mostly conservative crowd, Trump, in his usual style, denounced the string of criminal cases that he faces for trying to overturn the 2020 election loss.

US Elections 2024 | Kamala Harris to win against Donald Trump in Nov elections: Allan Lichtman

<p>The White House has urged Vladimir Putin to 'stop talking' about the US presidential election after the Russian president said he backs Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The only people who should get to determine who the next president of United States is are the American people,"&nbsp;National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.</p>

<p>"We would greatly appreciate it if Mr Putin would, a) stop talking about our election, and b) stop interfering in it."</p>

<p>Biden withdrew from the presidential race last month after his cognitive issues became a major headache for the Democratic Party. Under pressure from all quarters, Biden dropped the re-election bid but instantly endorsed Biden as the nominee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since then Harris has made huge improvements in the poll numbers and currently looks set to edge Trump to the keys of the White House.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Secret Service beefs up security for the US President

<p>US VP and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris on Monday (Sep 2) sparked an online debate as she was accused of using a “fake accent” in her remarks to teachers’ union members in Michigan. The Democratic presidential nominee appeared at a Detroit high school and was heard speaking with an inconsistency in her tone as she spoke to the crowd.</p>

You better thank a union member for vacation time,” The VP can be heard saying in clips being shared on social media platform X.</p>

<p>Interestingly, when Harris gave a similar speech hours later in Pittsburgh, the accent was not there, as alleged by the Donald Trump campaign, her Republican rival.</p>

He claimed that this was "because they only care about Weaponising the Department of Justice against their Political Opponent," an apparent reference to his own legal battles. "Just like the Debacle of the Afghanistan Withdrawal that claimed 13 American lives, Kamala and Biden’s judgment has not only put lives at risk but is directly responsible for unnecessary deaths that should have never happened," he said, slamming the Democrat leaders. × Trump further claimed that if he was president "this terror would have never happened," and promised that it would stop "the day I am back in the Oval Office."
