Former President Donald Trump spent Sunday at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club following an assassination attempt at his rally in Pennsylvania the previous day. A video posted to social media showed Trump departing his plane at Newark Airport late Saturday night, flanked by Secret Service agents and members of the Counter Assault Team.
Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., said the former president was “doing fine” after being shot at during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The suspected gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was killed by the Secret Service. Two others were critically injured in the shooting.
Despite the attack, Trump remained at his Bedminster golf club on Sunday. A group of devoted supporters gathered at the club throughout the day, expressing their allegiance with campaign flags. Local resident Louis Damore, who took the day off from his air conditioning business, referred to Trump as his “superhero” and speculated that divine intervention likely saved the former president’s life.
