Golf is his passion. But Donald Trump will probably not play there between now and November 5, the date of the election which will decide whether or not to send him back to the White House. The new security plan which should allow the Republican candidate to reconnect with the fairways is not yet ready and according to several sources at ABC News, it should not be in force before the November 5 election.
The former president has not played since a man apparently tried to assassinate him on September 15 at his Florida home court. HE approached Trump with a gun, hidden on the course. Donald Trump was playing golf on the course when a Secret Service agent spotted a gun barrel protruding from the tree line near the sixth green, according to investigators. On September 17, Acting Secret Service Chief Ronald Rowe assured Trump in a private meeting that new, greater security measures were necessary if he wanted to continue playing golf. And that unless he went to the golf course at Andrews Base in Maryland – easier to secure because it is a military course – he would have to wait until a new security plan was proposed , in connection with the county sheriff and the army.
He also told him that better planning would have to be put in place. Trump owns several golf courses around the world, three of which are in Florida, the Trump family’s home state. The former president can regularly play in Jupiter, West Palm Beach or Doral.
However, the campaign is in full swing and the Secret Service cannot multiply. “Since the attempted assassination of former President Trump on July 13, the U.S. Secret Service has made comprehensive changes and improvements to our communications capabilities, resources and protective operations,” the chief said. of Secret Service Communications Anthony Guglielmi. “Today, the former president benefits from increased protection and we take the responsibility to guarantee his safety very seriously. » The same Guglielmi had revealed on where a young man aged 20 opened fire in mid-July, injuring Trump in the ear and killing a man in the crowd of his supporters.
