‘I Really Wanted to Finish The Hole!’ Hannity Shares What Trump Told Him After Shots Fired at His Golf Course

Fox News host Sean Hannity reported on Sunday that he spoke with former President Donald Trump as events were unfolding in a shooting at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida, and that the Republican nominee gave him some additional details on the incident.

The Secret Service reportedly exchanged fire with a shooter whose intended target may have been the former president. The individual had a backpack, a rifle that might have been an AK-47, and a GoPro camera, CNN elaborated on Sunday.

Hannity said he spoke with Trump three times after the incident and while events in the aftermath were still unfolding, sharing that drone footage helped authorities identify the vehicle.

He said that Trump’s first concern was the safety of others, and then remarked he wished he could’ve finished the hole.

“When the president found out everybody was safe and nobody had been harmed. I guess in typical ‘fight, fight, fight’ fashion, Trump said to Steve, and then he related to me, ‘ugh I really wanted to finish the hole I was even and I had a I had a birdie putt and it was it was on the fifth,’ it was on the fifth hole, which shows a lot of, I think, guts and gumption and very Trumpian, I guess, in every way,” said Hannity speaking with anchor Arthel Neville on Fox News.

NEVILLE: Very alarming. And Sean, have you spoken to the former president or texted with him?

HANNITY: I have spoken with the president three times since this incident. And each time I got a new piece of information. One, that they had found. First of all, what happened with the shooting. The second thing that they had found an AK 47. Third, that their drone footage was able to give them enough surveillance to identify the the exact car that the individual involved in the shooting got into. And further detail that they gave me was that that they were updated and told that that car had been found, identified, was surrounded by law enforcement. I don’t know what happened from there. It could not have been too far away. I would say the time frame was less than a half hour between the time that the shooting actually took place and they identified the car. So on all fronts…

NEVILLE: I’m trying to find out, like, how is he doing? That’s what we want to know. How is he doing, if you spoke to him?

HANNITY: Well, you really want to know the truth, Arthel/ He goes really – well, there’s more details because I did hear and Steve, what was very clear. The first thing the president did when he got back to the clubhouse was make sure that everybody else was okay. He didn’t see his golf partner with him. Where’s Steve, where’s Steve, where’s Steve? And then Steve says, I’m right here. He got in maybe a few minutes behind the president. The Secret Service was able to get everybody to safety. Everybody else was taken off the golf course.

Then when the president found out everybody was safe and nobody had been harmed, I guess in typical ‘fight, fight, fight’ fashion, Trump said to Steve, and then he related to me, ‘ugh I really wanted to finish the hole! I was even and I had a I had a birdie putt.’ And it appar – it was on the fifth, it was on the fifth hole, which shows a lot of, I think, guts and gumption and very Trumpian, I guess, in every way. But, you know, the good news we can report is that, that in spite of this being in such close proximity to the president and others and the Secret Service, that they were not harmed and that they are in safety. And I know the investigation will go forward. Probably more details, I would imagine, as time unfolds.
