The Republican presidential candidate commended the “excellent job” of the Secret Service and authorities who have put a “very dangerous person” behind bars.
Trump said he was on the golf course with some friends when “we heard shots being fired in the air and I guess probably four or five … bullets.”
Trump said he and his companions were whisked away in golf carts by the Secret Service.
“I would have loved to take that last putt but we decided, ‘let’s get out of here,’” Trump quipped.
Trump noted that the suspected gunman – later identified as 58-year-old Ryan Routh – never managed to fire a shot, and ran across the street before hopping in a car.
“And amazingly, a civilian in that area saw something and it looked very suspicious. And in the car drove the car to the back of his truck of some kind. And took pictures of the license plate, gave him to the sheriff’s office,” Trump said.
The Republican candidate blamed the second assassination attempt on divisive rhetoric from Democrats and “the radical left.”
