In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt on Sunday while at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The assailant, 58-year-old Ryan Ruth from Hawaii, was caught by Secret Service agents who noticed him approximately 300 to 500 yards away, armed with an AK-47 rifle. Fortunately, the Secret Service acted quickly, preventing Ruth from firing any shots. He fled the scene after dropping his weapon but was later apprehended on a nearby highway.

Witnesses described a scene of confusion and fear, as sirens blared and law enforcement converged on the area. Ruth, who has a history of erratic behavior and controversial political opinions, was reportedly upset with Trump’s policies. His social media activity indicates a troubled mindset, with posts that expressed disdain for both Trump and current President Biden. This incident raises serious concerns about the safety of presidential candidates as the U.S. gears up for an election in less than 50 days. As Trump reassured his supporters of his safety, questions loom over the adequacy of security measures for public figures in today’s volatile political climate.
