Donald Trump has responded to the apparent assassination attempt that took place on Sunday (September 15) in West Palm Beach, Florida. The 78-year-old former president was on a golf course when gunshots rang out. A suspect named Ryan Wesley Routh was apprehended and charged with two gun-related crimes, according to reporting by CNN. On Monday (September 16), Donald took to social media to share his thoughts. In a fiery post, he blamed Democrats and threatened deportations of immigrants.

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,” he wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust,” he wrote. “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” He said, “Allowing millions of people, from places unknown, to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin. OUR BORDERS MUST BE CLOSED, AND THE TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS, DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY MUST LOVE OUR NATION, AND COME IN LEGALLY AND THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MERIT. THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS, THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH. WE CANNOT LET THEM LAUGH ANY LONGER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” No reporting seems to allude to Ryan being an immigrant. In fact, according to reporting by NPR, he seemingly voted for Donald in the 2016 election and later had a change of heart about his politics. Donald recently said that he “hate[d]” a celebrity who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. He also said that he has no interest in further debates with Kamala. I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day!
