The FBI said on Sunday that former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021) was the target of “what appears to have been an assassination attempt” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, just nine weeks after surviving another attack, in which a bullet fired during a demonstration in Pennsylvania in July grazed his ear.
