On Monday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump expressed his gratitude to the U.S. Secret Service following what appears to be a second assassination attempt on him. The incident occurred on Sunday at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump publicly commended the Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, and all law enforcement personnel involved in ensuring his safety. In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, he praised the efforts of the agencies involved. “I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day! Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” Trump stated.

The confrontation occurred on Sunday when Secret Service agents encountered a man hiding in the bushes approximately 400-500 yards from Trump, who was at his golf club. The individual, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, was armed with an AK-style rifle. The agents fired at least four rounds, but the suspect managed to flee the scene in a black Nissan vehicle.

Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, confirmed that the former president was unharmed by the incident. Following the event, Trump sent an email to his supporters affirming his safety and well-being. U.S. Secret Service Communications Chief Anthony Guglielmi stated on X that the agency, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating the incident, which occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

Sheriff Bradshaw noted that the Secret Service responded appropriately to the threat but declined to discuss potential motives behind the attempt. This incident follows another recent assassination attempt in July, during which a gunshot was fired at Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
