JD Vance Reveals Trump’s Reaction to Gunman at Golf Course

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) shared an eye-opening account of former President Donald Trump's reaction to yet another assassination attempt. Speaking at an event in Georgia, Vance described a moment that shows Trump's resilience and character one that will likely resonate with many of his supporters.

The incident unfolded on a Sunday at Trump's West Palm Beach golf club, where a gunman attempted to shoot him by poking a rifle through a fence. Secret Service agents swiftly opened fire on the suspect, disrupting Trump’s golf game. The gunman fled but was later apprehended and charged.

According to Vance, Trump was quick to call him after the event, still unfazed by what had just happened. Vance, who was at home with his 7-year-old, recounted the moment Trump told him, “JD, you’re not going to believe this, but they tried to do it again.” Vance admitted he was in disbelief, thinking Trump was joking. But the former president was serious, calmly explaining how the Secret Service handled the threat.

Even in the face of danger, Trump found time for humor. As Vance explained, Trump was more upset about his interrupted golf game than the actual assassination attempt. He humorously remarked that he was about to make a birdie putt when the Secret Service intervened. “This is just who Donald Trump is,” Vance told the crowd, to roaring laughter.

• The Secret Service acted swiftly and decisively, neutralizing the threat within minutes.

• Law enforcement detained the suspect later, preventing any further danger.

• Trump's lighthearted reaction shows his unflappable demeanor, even in the face of potential danger.

Vance noted how Trump’s ability to stay calm under pressure makes him an ideal leader. He commented that Trump's humor and composure after such an event set him apart, saying, “That is kind of the guy that you want to be president of the United States, right? Who is phased by nothing, who is telling jokes afterwards.”

As the election looms, it's these moments that reinforce why Trump continues to lead the pack for the Republican nomination. His no-nonsense approach and ability to keep his cool, even during an assassination attempt, exemplify the traits of a strong leader—one who doesn't let chaos get in his way.

Vance concluded by urging a reduction in the inflammatory rhetoric plaguing today's political landscape, emphasizing the need for a return to rational discourse.
