He is now behind bars and hopefully he will stay there for a long time. He is a dangerous person, a very dangerous person, says Trump in the interview, which was broadcast on X.

He also told about his experience of the whole thing, how he was out on the course at Trump International Golf Club with some friends when he suddenly heard shots.

I would guess it was about four or five shots.

The shots turned out to have been fired by a Secret Service agent, who shot at the location where he saw a rifle barrel. Trump took the opportunity to repeat his praise for the Secret Service, which he believes did a "fantastic job". He also expressed appreciation for the witness who observed how the suspect fled from the bushes and into a black Nissan after the shooting.

Found automatic rifle

Left at the scene by the bushes was an AK-47 automatic rifle with a scope and a body camera. After fleeing, the man drove north on I-95, where he was later arrested. He was then unarmed.

Later in the evening, the FBI announced that they are investigating the incident as an attempted murder of Donald Trump.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Trump accused both his rival Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden of having incited the 58-year-old suspect.

Comments on Biden's call

In his appearance on X, which was originally supposed to be about a project related to cryptocurrencies that the Trump family plans to launch, he spoke positively about the President calling him after the incident.

It was very nice of him to call and ask if I was okay.

The attempted murder is the second in two months against Donald Trump. On July 13, he was hit by a bullet in the ear and slightly injured during an attempted murder at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One spectator was killed and two were injured.

Donald Trump was the 45th President of the United States between 2017 and 2021. The outspoken Republican won the presidential election in 2016 with the promise to "make America great again", but failed to be re-elected in November 2020.

He has been nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidential election in November.

Trump was the first president who did not have prior experience as an elected politician or military officer. Instead, he has spent his life in business.

The 78-year-old Trump was born in Queens, New York. He has a degree in economics with a focus on real estate from the University of Pennsylvania. Trump inherited properties from his father and built an empire with a focus on, among other things, hotels and golf courses.

Donald Trump is the father of five children and married for the third time. His current wife is Slovenian-American Melania Trump.
