From Breitbart: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky extended his “best wishes” to American former President Donald Trump and his family on Monday in response to what law enforcement authorities described on Sunday as a second failed assassination attempt on the 2024 presidential frontrunner in as many months.
Trump was reportedly playing golf on Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when shots rang out. The FBI confirmed that it was investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” though it remains unclear at press time whether the shots fired came from law enforcement or the shooter himself. Authorities have identified 58-year-old Ryan Routh as the man implicated in the assassination plot. Media reports have since unearthed several social media profiles apparently run by Routh and other evidence featuring a large volume of content condemning Trump and supporting his election rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Zelensky, who has claimed to survive “five or six” assassination attempts himself, responded on Monday to the news of the failed homicide.
In a social media post, Zelensky wrote, “I am glad to hear that @realDonaldTrump is safe and unharmed. My best wishes to him and his family. It’s good that the suspect in the assassination attempt was apprehended quickly. This is our principle: the rule of law is paramount and political violence has no place anywhere in the world. We sincerely hope that everyone remains safe.”
