this is clearly a secured roadway very near to the trump international golf course in west palm beach, florida. why is it like this? because just over two hours ago we were told that former e president donald trump, while playing somewhere between the fifth or sixth hole on the golf course on trump international that there were shots fired, initially the plan to just get the former president to safety.o we can confirm he is safe. the white house has been alerted about this. they are aware and expressed their gratitude he is safe. we do not know where he is right now. it is largely presumed he may be back at mar-a-lago. that is on the other side of this bridge you see. that is about a 10 minute drive from the trump international golf course, we are talking about trump international, west palm beach, that is what you are seeing there. palm beach is where mar-a-lago is located. of course, mar-a-lago is an extremely secure location in terms of the president's security and safety. there are safe rooms there, places that were established when he was president of the united states still in e
