Florida: This afternoon a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump as he was playing golf at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach. An unidentified gunman approached the security perimeter of the golf course with an AK-47, and attempted to engage Trump through the perimeter fence. Details of further events remain unconfirmed, however initial reporting indicates a small arms engagement occurred between the suspect and US Secret Service personnel. It is unclear as to if the suspect fired his weapon during the engagement, but follow-on information suggests USSS personnel were able to engage the suspect with suppressing fire before he was able to engage Trump. This engagement caused the suspect to break contact and egress from the area. A few minutes later, the suspect was apprehended via a traffic stop on I-95, after having successfully egressed from the ambush site. The suspect’s rifle and other gear were recovered in the foliage at the perimeter fence vantage point where the shooting took place.

Analyst Comments: As this incident is currently developing, few details remained confirmed. Additional information remains hard to verify due to deliberate propaganda efforts conducted by mainstream media to downplay this second assassination attempt. Initially, most legacy media sources tried to spin the story as being a shooting between two unrelated parties, that simply took place outside Trump’s establishment. This is NOT the case; this was a deliberate, calculated, and planned attempt on Trump’s life, as evidenced by the details released so far by authorities. The gunshots that were heard originated from the US Secret Service, and were intended to neutralized the suspect. It is not known if the suspect was wounded in the attack, however he did manage to successfully evade capture for several miles as he egressed northbound on I-95.

Trump himself posted a statement on social media shortly after the attack, indicating that he was safe.

Admin Note: No major indications and warnings of impending strategic activities have been noted over the past few hours. HFGCS and BearNet traffic nominal. Strategic aviation assets operating as normal.
