Trump, Gutfeld joke about attempted assassination: ‘How’s your golf game?’

Former President Trump and Fox News host Greg Gutfeld joked about a recent apparent assassination attempt against the GOP presidential nominee while he was at his golf club in Florida.

“Mr. T, how’s your golf game?” the host asked during Wednesday night’s edition of his late-night comedy program on the cable channel.

“Well, I haven’t been thinking about it too much lately. … I always said golf was a very dangerous game,” Trump smirked, prompting laughter from the studio audience.

“It really is, especially if they’re playing with you,” Gutfeld quipped back, asking the former president “if they had told you that the shooter was there, would you have tried to take him out with your 3-wood?”

“I think so. I think so, if I knew,” Trump replied. “Actually, the Secret Service did a great job. They saw the barrel of a gun, big gun, and he came out through bushes, and how many people would see that? He really was very exceptional to have done it.”

The conversation between Trump and Gutfeld was first highlighted by Mediaite.

The comments come days after Secret Service fired at a suspect who was hiding in the bushes at the golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla. The man was seen pushing a rifle’s muzzle through the course’s perimeter — though he did not fire any shots before fleeing the scene.

Identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, the suspect was arrested and later charged with two federal gun crimes: Possessing a firearm despite being a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Officials found two bags, a loaded rifle with a scope and other items at the scene.

The incident came just weeks after Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet at a rally in Pennsylvania.
