Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t completely surprised by the latest would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump.
During an interview on 92.5 FOX News, the Governor said that the “par three” hole on the golf course was less than secure, based on his personal experience.
“I’ve played that golf course with President Trump many times,” DeSantis told host Spencer Roach, who himself is a state Representative.
“You probably go another 20-30 yards and you have the street and the fence line, the sixth tee is behind the fifth green right there on the fence line. The six hole plays all on that fence line. And then the seventh tee is right about the fence line. So I remember playing with him when he was President and thinking, ‘You know what? That is definitely a vulnerability because if you get into those bushes, you’ve got those three holes that would be exposed within a few hundred yards.'”
DeSantis said the would-be assassin “was able to get to take a weapon and some accouterments and burrow himself into those bushes there, which you know, if you, if you’re familiar with that golf course, that is the No. 1 point of vulnerability.”
DeSantis also discussed the state investigation of the Trump incident, saying it was necessary given scant information given out federally about other mass shooters, including the man who tried to take out Trump earlier this year at a Pennsylvania rally, and another mass murderer from last decade.
“Think about the shooting in Las Vegas that happened — when was that, 7-8 years ago — killed 40-50 people on the Las Vegas strip. And we never have heard anything about this guy. It just got memory holed,” DeSantis said, referring to the massacre that killed 58 and injured hundreds more.
Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested Sunday shortly after shots were fired at the golf course where Trump was playing.

The public has no role in providing security for Trump private golf course,they do not have evidence that shot were fired, according to the Secret Service,so their goes their case

So how about this- if it’s so insecure, don’t play there. Does desantes expect the government to pony up the cost of posting secret service members around the entire perimeter of the golf course?

It would probably be a better use of Ron’s remaining time in office if he were to assign himself full-time to leadingTrump’s personal protection detail. Trump can’t stand him but I doubt Ron minds that. After all he did lecture a bunch of Navy seals to death about the rules of war in Iraq or Afghanistan somewhere

Perhaps Dee could assign his personal militia, the Florida Guard, to guard DJT and himself and other MAGA luminaries who visit Freedonia.

And Ron said nothing???
Of course, Ron probably just considers shootings a “fact of life” for everyone — except, of course, for those with taxpayer-funded round-the-clock security details.

Damn – DeSantis , just like Trump , knows everything . Wonder why he didn’t put his personal state police detachment on it asap . This “ knowledge “ is totally consistent with his absolute penchant for taking credit for anything remotely positive and distancing from anything remotely negative .
Recall Ron DeSantis

Everybody has long known that golf course is a very dangerous spot for Trump. What happened Sunday afternoon comes as no surprise.

Can we still look in the mirror and deny that violence is as American as apple pie?
What a shock — sell weapons of war to civilians and they have the temerity to shoot at other civilians and /or law enforcement!

Chain link fence. At a super fancy golf club for billionaires. Yeah.
So when did that chain link get installed? Last week? What used to be there before chain link replaced it?
Is the chain link made of gold? Nooooooooo? Whuuuuuuuut?

It’s DonOld Tramp’s damn golf course so why doesn’t he take responsibility for keeping his own property safe? Why does the GOP, Ronduh and the other assclowns expect Big Brother to be responsible for the orange poop pants playing golf on his own course? Take some personal responsibility you foolish losers and stop whining and blaming everyone else for your failures. A wise person once said- the government that governs least governs best. Give me a break Ronduh!
