Former US President Donald Trump spoke for the first time about the ‘Monday Night X Space’ assassination attempt
For the first time since his second apparent assassination attempt on Sunday, former US President Donald Trump made an appearance on “Monday Night X Space” to support and promote his sons’ cryptocurrency ventures, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.
Speaking about the attempted murder at his Florida golf property, the former president praised the Secret Service for their “outstanding work.”
Notably, Trump was the target of another apparent attempt on his life, this time when he was playing golf at the West Palm Beach Golf Club in Florida. This came after a severe attempt on his life in Pennsylvania, where a bullet almost missed him and another one barely brushed his ear.

Trump recalled the incident on Sunday afternoon and said, “It was quite something, but it worked out well, and the Secret Service did an excellent job, and they have the man behind bars, and hopefully, he’s going to be there for a long time,” in response to Farokh, the host of X Space, praising him for not canceling or postponing his appearance.

Trump clarified how Sunday afternoon got underway
“So, on Sunday morning, I was playing golf with a few of my friends—the weather was gorgeous and the surroundings were tranquil. We were at a lovely area with gorgeous surroundings when we heard gunfire. He reminisced, “I guess probably four or five.”
While Trump and his crew were on the course, gunfire broke out. The effort was foiled by the swift intervention of the Secret Service. “Secret Service grabbed me as soon as they realized it was bullets,” Trump said.
Trump was swiftly removed off the course by the agents. “We climbed onto the carts and proceeded rather well. He went on, “I was with an agency, and the agent did an amazing job. “We were definitely going to deviate from that plan. Though we opted to go, I would have liked to sink that last putt.
How an AK-47 was discovered to be a weapon by a Secret Service agent
“Interestingly, the reason for the gunfire was that a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of an AK-47, a very powerful rifle, and he began shooting at it.”
How wonderful is that, huh? could only focus on the barrel. He took it as his cue and fired, sprinting in the direction of the target. The would-be assassin fled across the street, grabbed his car, and got into it. Amazingly, a bystander noticed something that appeared extremely suspicious and drove their own vehicle to the back of the assassin’s truck. They then took pictures of the license plate and gave it to the sheriff’s office, according to Trump.
Many believe that Democrats are posing a danger to democracy when they discuss these issues. He said, “And it seems that both of these individuals were ardent leftists.
