Campaign: For 2nd time in 2 months, ‘evil monster attempted to take the life of President Trump’
Donald Trump’s campaign leaders are crediting the Secret Service with keeping the former US president safe following an apparent assassination attempt in Florida.
In an email sent to staff, senior campaign advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles write: “Today, for the second time in two months, an evil monster attempted to take the life of President Trump.”
“Thankfully, no one was injured at the Golf Course. President Trump and everyone accompanying him are safe thanks to the great work of the United States Secret Service,” they write.
They add that campaign staffers’ safety is “always our top priority” and ask those receiving the email to “remain vigilant” and “observant and maintain a constant level of situational awareness.”
