DONALD Trump has described the moment he heard ‘four or five shots’ during an apparent assassination attempt while he was playing golf. The former President, 78, was rushed to safety by Secret Service agents who spotted the gunman with a AK-47 hiding in bushes in West Palm Beach, Florida. Speaking at an X social media event, Trump recalled the moment he heard the shots.
He said: "I was playing golf with some of my friends on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful weather...
and all of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets. "The Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me..
. everybody just got into the [golf] carts, and we moved along." The former President seemingly unfazed about the incident, praised the Secret Service for an "excellent job" but said he wished he could have finished his golf game.
