Donald Trump faced another assassination attempt two months after his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally shooting. On September 15, the Republican candidate was playing a round of golf in Florida, where his golf course was reportedly aimed at by suspect Ryan Wesley South.
Trump updated his supporters in a statement released by his campaign. The statement read, “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”
