    The media calling it an “attempt” is just clickbait. At best this is a “possible assassination plan.” And something similar happened to Gretchin Whitmer… it turned out to be an FBI entrapment scheme

      Does he have to fire his weapon for it to be an attempt? Wheres the line? The FBI is calling it an attempt. I suppose we’ll see if this is entrapment too. Until then, this kinda looks like an assassination attempt

      To be completely fair here: the reports are all saying that Trump’s location that day was not public information. So either this guy got real lucky to show up on a day Trump was playing golf, or else he had some information that very few other people had. Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence. Still, it would be kind of ironic if it turned out someone in his own campaign was leaking info to the crazies.
