Trump Golfs For The First Time Since Second Assasination Attempt


President Trump was spotted golfing for the first time since a second assassin attempted to take his life.

Trump was spotted on the greens donning a red quarter-zipper sweater and riding in his golf cart.

While on the golf course, Trump interacted with several children on the course.

Trump told one little girl ecstatic to meet the 45 and 47th president, “Oh, I love that girl. I love that hair. I want her hair. Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for that.”

President-elect Donald Trump has been hitting the golf course regularly since his big 2024 win — proudly riding around in a golf cart and greeting club members and their families just months after an assassin attempted to take his life on the same West Palm Beach, Fla., course.

The 45th president had taken a break from golfing in the final stretch of his campaign as he was traveling — and after would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh nearly fired on him during a Sept. 15 round at the Trump International Golf Club.

But following his blowout victory against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump has hit the course in regular fashion, with one source saying he likes to go out “every lunchtime.”

Trump, wearing a MAGA hat and a red quarter-zip sweater, was spotted taking pictures and inviting a member’s kid to sit in his golf cart over the weekend.

NBC News previously reported Trump would not golf until after the election:

Former President Donald Trump has not played golf since an apparent assassination attempt near one of his courses on Sept. 15, and he will not do so until after the election, according to a person close to the campaign and another person familiar with the situation.

A third person familiar with the conversations said Trump was told that federal agents could not ensure his safety to a degree that they were comfortable with if he were to play. The concerns were conveyed in two conversations with Trump since the September incident: one with Ronald Rowe, the acting director of the Secret Service, and the other with officials from the national intelligence director’s office.

The safety issue had been on Trump’s mind.

Trump had asked Rowe during a meeting last month whether it would be safe for him to continue golfing in the wake of the thwarted assassination attempt, and he was told he would need significant additional security given the proximity of some of his courses to public roads, The New York Times reported last month, citing information from three people familiar with their conversation.
