Donald Trump faced another assassination attempt at his golf course.
Now the man who was playing with him has broken his silence.
And Donald Trump’s golf partner made one confession that left Sean Hannity stunned.
Businessman playing golf with Trump reveals what went down
Former President Donald Trump faced another attempted assassination while he was playing golf at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The would-be assassin hid for 12 hours in bushes near a fence on the golf course’s perimeter.
Secret Service agents saw a rifle barrel sticking out of the fence about 400 to 500 yards from where Trump was playing.
They opened fire on the would-be assassin, who also happens to be an ardent supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris and her fellow Democrats, causing him to flee the scene before being arrested in nearby Martin County.
New York real estate investor Steve Witkoff was playing golf with Trump when everything went down.
He described what happened to Fox News’ Sean Hannity when a leisurely round of Sunday golf took a turn for the worse.
“Yesterday was quite a day. I actually feel blessed that I was there yesterday,” Witkoff explained. “And the reason I feel blessed, Sean, is that I got to see what it’s like for my dear friend to live his normal life. His normal life, which is punctuated by two attempts to assassinate him in the last 60 days, being vilified since he left the Presidency, falsely accused [and] harassed.”
Trump displays leadership under fire
Witkoff said that Trump shined in handling the stressful situation.
“Here he was yesterday on a beautiful day, just trying to get some rest and relaxation like all the rest of us, and there’s a man with an…assault rifle who’s attempting to kill him,” Witkoff recalled. “It was terrible.”
Trump sprang into action as soon as the gunshots went off.
“But I got to see… I got to see a man who was stoic, courageous, cared about his friends’ safety first before his own life,” Witkoff said. “He was an inspiration to everybody who was around him yesterday. I wish the whole country could have witnessed what happened yesterday because they would have seen a real leader.”
Witkoff, a gun owner, knew immediately what was happening when he heard the gunshots.
“The Secret Service were exceptional,” Witkoff said. “They had the President secured, in my estimation, because I was five yards away from him, in my estimation, maybe after the first shot, certainly after the second shot. So, by the time the fourth shot rang out, the President was on his way with that detail.”
“It was as if they had practiced it 500 times before,” Witkoff continued. “It was pretty awesome to watch them. And they were heroic because their lives were on the line.”
Witkoff told Hannity that he was happy that no one was harmed during the incident.
“I have, like, a little love thing for my dear friend,” Witkoff said. “And I say to myself, thank God that he was not injured or killed, and thank God none of the other people. There were plenty of civilians, by the way, staffers from his office, people who care about him just as much as I do, two other friends of his, so there could have been a lot of really serious damage out there, and there wasn’t. And I’m grateful to that agent who interdicted and that entire team.”
Donald Trump and the people who were with him were lucky to avoid another tragedy.
