President Trump is hosting a live X space, recounting the attempt on his life while he was golfing on Sunday.
Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.
Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon. However, Trump said that the Secret Service agents shot first at the shooter’s barrel in the bushes.
“I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here,” Trump joked.
This is the second attempt on Trump’s life in two months.
The X space began at 8 pm ET. Trump is co-hosting with cryptocurrency investor and podcast host Farokh Sarmad.
Topics of discussion range from crypto, the 2024 election, the Trump family, and the attempts on Trump’s life.
Earlier, Trump shared his personal account of the attempted shooting.
LISTEN:
Trump: I was playing golf with some of my friends. It was on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful weather. Everything was beautiful. It was a nice place to be. And all of a sudden, we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets. But what do I know about that? But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me, and I think probably the other one, Steve is one of the people, Steve Witkoff, a great friend of mine, a great, great businessman from mostly New York and Florida, great business man, and, more importantly, just a fantastic person. So we were in the group, and everybody just–we got into the carts, and we moved along pretty, pretty good. I was with an agent, and the agent did a fantastic there was no question that we were off that course. I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here.
