Share

Former President Donald Trump has not played a round of golf since his last assassination attempt on Sept. 15. That’s when Trump was playing golf at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, and a Secret Service agent spotted the barrel of a rifle sticking out from the tree line.

On July 13, Trump was shot in the ear while giving a speech on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, during a campaign rally. The suspect in that case was shot dead by a countersniper team.

Although Trump has received heightened protection since the attempted assassinations, federal agents told Trump they could not ensure his safety at his golf courses, which are very close to public roads, NBC News reports.

If Trump does not play golf until after the election on Nov. 5, it will be the longest time he’s gone without playing the game since the pandemic.
