Assassination Attempt Against Donald Trump
An assassination attempt against Donald Trump was recently foiled when a Secret Service agent noticed a rifle barrel near Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, prompting the agent to open fire. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Ralph, had previously volunteered to aid in the war effort in Ukraine, and during his arrest, authorities found an AK-47 and equipment indicating he intended to record the incident. Despite the scare, Trump was unharmed, and the event has raised serious concerns regarding the security measures of the Secret Service, which are already under scrutiny due to past incidents. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have expressed their commitment to ensuring the safety of Trump following this alarming event.
