For security reasons, Trump would stop playing golf until after the elections

The probability of seeing Donald Trump away from the golf courses until the elections are over is very highthis in the face of the enormous risk of suffering a third assassination attempt.

Although the Secret Service has redoubled its efforts to ensure the safety of the Republican presidential candidate, The fact that it is planted in open terrain where it can be under the sights of an expert sniper makes it an attractive target for its detractors.

That is why, according to the testimony of several sources cited on condition of anonymity by the television network ABC Newsthey agreed that during the rest of October and until the winner of the elections is known, the man who aspires to return to the White House You will be restricted from hitting the ball from the green with your club.

Trump has not played golf since last month when Ryan Routh, 58, hiding behind a line of trees near the sixth green of a golf course in Florida, pointed a rifle at him with the intention of wounding him, but Before he pulled the trigger, he was shot and fled the scene, but he was later arrested.

Prior to that, the former president had already escaped death on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old student shot him eight times and on one of them managed to pierce part of his right ear.

To prevent something similar from happening, The Secret Service modified its security strategy and events in open spaces would practically be restricted until further notice according to what was said by the sources consulted.

In this regard, Anthony Guglielmi, head of communications for the Secret Service, limited himself to mentioning that efforts were redoubled to ensure that Donald Trump’s integrity is not put at risk again.

“Since the attempted assassination of former President Trump on July 13, the United States Secret Service has made comprehensive changes and improvements to our communications capabilities, resources and protective operations.

Today, the former president is receiving greater protection and we take the responsibility of guaranteeing his safety very seriously,” he wrote in a statement.
