The September 2024 attempted assassination of Donald Trump refers to a high-profile security incident at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel protruding from the perimeter fence while the former president was golfing, leading to the arrest of suspect Ryan Wesley Routh. This followed a previous attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, just months earlier. Memes regarding this event often lean into the surreal nature of the setting, focusing on the golf course environment, the recurring security threats during the 2024 election cycle, and the stoic or humorous reactions from various political commentators. The template is widely used to discuss political volatility and the Secret Service's heightened vigilance.
