Bryson DeChambeau hits nail on the head with reaction to Donald Trump shooting
Bryson DeChambeau Speaks Out After Harrowing Incident at Trump Rally
In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after gunshots erupted during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Among the first to react was LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, who condemned the violence and offered his support on social media.
**”Violence deserves no place in this world,”** DeChambeau posted on X. **”Praying for President Trump and his family. Wishing for a speedy recovery.”**
The unsettling incident took place as Trump was addressing a large crowd, when a series of popping sounds sent the audience into a panic. The former President ducked and clutched his neck as Secret Service agents quickly surrounded him and escorted him off stage. Despite the chaos, Trump managed to raise his fist defiantly, even as blood appeared to trickle down his ear.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi later confirmed that Trump was safe and that the incident was under investigation. **”The former President is safe,”** Guglielmi stated. **”This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”**
Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, expressed gratitude to law enforcement and first responders for their swift action. He also reassured the public that Trump was fine and receiving treatment at a local medical facility.
In a heartfelt message on Truth Social, Trump praised the quick response of the Secret Service and law enforcement. **”I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,”** he wrote. **”Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.”**
**”Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,”** Trump continued. **”I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”**
Trump has often spoken of his friendship with DeChambeau, recalling their time playing golf together at the LIV Bedminster pro-am in 2022. **”He’s actually a really good golfer,”** DeChambeau said of Trump. **”He stripes it down the middle of the fairway and has good iron game and putts it pretty well. But it was an honour. I mean, anytime you get to play with a president, whether passed or sitting, it’s just an honor, no matter who it is. Very lucky to have a relationship with him, and he’s always been generous to me.”**
DeChambeau, who frequently sports the Trump Golf logo on his golf bag during tournaments, expressed his gratitude for the support he receives from the Trump Organization. **”I am extremely honored to represent Trump Golf and have the relationship with the Trump Organization that I have. From Larry Glick, to Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, the entire team is always behind me 100 percent, and I am grateful for their support.”**
Following his 2024 US Open win last month, DeChambeau celebrated at Pinehurst No. 2 with Eric Trump. The former President praised DeChambeau’s performance on Truth Social, saying: **”He showed a toughness and inner strength, matched perfectly with his GREAT Golfing Talent, that can never be denied! Under massive pressure, he pulled off some of the greatest shots ever made, especially his spectacular sand save on the 18th Hole that gave him the Victory.”**
