Former President Donald Trump remained in good spirits and engaged with allies and advisers over the phone following the apparent assassination attempt in Florida. Sources close to the former president revealed that Trump was in a positive mood, even cracking jokes about his golf game during the lockdown at Trump International Golf Course.
One source mentioned that Trump humorously mentioned being two under par at the time of the incident and described his ongoing golf game as 'wonderful.' Another source shared that Trump inquired about the media coverage surrounding the apparent second assassination attempt. Additionally, a third source reported that Trump expressed confidence in his chances of winning in the upcoming November election.
The swift response to Sunday's incident allowed Trump's team to be promptly briefed on the situation, contrasting with the delayed information dissemination after a previous shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. The efficient handling of the situation ensured that Trump's staff received immediate confirmation of his safety and secure location.
Despite initial shock upon hearing about the shots fired near the former president, those close to Trump were reassured of his well-being and safety without delay. The Secret Service provided detailed briefings to campaign members while Trump was still in lockdown, ensuring that the team remained informed throughout the ordeal.
