Golden Finance reported that Trump responded to the assassination attempt on his social platform: "I want to thank everyone for their concern and blessings - this is a really interesting day. Most importantly, I want to thank the United States Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his brave and dedicated Patriot Office, and all law enforcement officers for their outstanding work at the Trump International Golf Club today to protect my safety as the 45th President of the United States and the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election. They are doing an excellent job. I am very proud to be an American."
