Former President Donald Trump was the target of an apparent assassination attempt at his West Palm Beach golf club, where he remained unharmed. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, was apprehended after being spotted with a firearm by a Secret Service agent, who opened fire but did not hit him. This incident occurred during a tumultuous week for Trump, marked by a 'disastrous' debate performance against Kamala Harris and criticism over his comments about Haitian immigrants. In the aftermath, Trump faced fallout while engaging with conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and attacking Taylor Swift for endorsing Harris. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a state-led investigation, citing distrust in federal agencies, a sentiment echoed by top Senate Democrats frustrated with the Biden-Harris administration's cooperation on the incident. The FBI is continuing its investigation, and more charges against Routh are expected.
