BREAKING: Trump Would-Be Assassin Identified: Ryan Wesley Routh – Police Release Photos of Sniper Nest Outside Trump Golf Club

Trump’s would-be assassin has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.

@zelensky_official I am an American coming to fight with you in Ukraine; I am flying into Krakow and will take any transport to Kyiv to meet you and fight to the death. We must get every civilian in the world to come and join the fight; I will be the example. Attack moscow now

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 pm as the former president was playing a round of golf with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.

It is unclear if Routh was able to fire his weapon (AK-47 with a scope) or if the Secret Service shot at him first after they identified him as a threat.

Officials have confirmed that the gunman, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, targeted President Trump.

The FBI is calling Sunday’s shooting an attempted assassination.

Police also released photos of the sniper’s nest next to Trump’s golf course.

Ryan Wesley Routh left behind a Go-Pro, an AK-47 and two backpacks on the perimeter of Trump’s golf club.

Here’s what we know so far:

Ryan Wesley Routh pushed the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at Trump’s golf course before Secret Service agents fired at him.

Law enforcement said the gunman was about 300 to 500 yards away from Trump. He was hiding in the shrubbery when he pointed his rifle with a scope through the fence.

According to law enforcement, Secret Service agents were one to two holes ahead of Trump when they spotted the muzzle of the rifle.

According to reporters for The AP, there are several areas around the perimeter of Trump’s golf course where golfers are visible from the fence line.

It appears the would-be assassin exploited a vulnerable part of the property’s perimeter.

Ryan Wesley Routh ran out of the bushes and escaped in a black vehicle but he was arrested in Martin County.

Law enforcement said charges against Ryan Wesley Routh are pending.

I am not an expert, but I have never seen or heard of a scope on an AK.

“Officials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump”

Wow! Really?!? These officials are sharp. I never would’ve guessed that. (🙄)

Very big.

Sway the election big.

We will never know the truth. We will only be told a story that supports “Trump was never in any danger”, which the left is actively pushing now.

World we live in.

Not really. If they did they wouldn’t have disarmed Ukraine in the first place with the false promise of defense, they wouldn’t have broken the original air defense agreement Bush had negotiated with Ukraine, they would not have hired Putin pal Deripaska to help create the anti Trump dossier, they wouldn’t have been acceptingspeech gigs from the Mayor of Moscow, they wouldn’t have withheld aide until the Ukrainians fired their prosecutor, and they wouldn’t have pussyfooted around for years sending nothing but humanitarian blankets to a country that really needed weapons.

With “friends” like these, who needs enemies?

OK.

Guy flies from Hawaii to Florida, where he obtains a scoped rifle and ammo (he didn’t bring it in the plane) and picks up homemade body armor.

Then he goes to a street in WPB, where he has never been before, which just happens to be adjacent to a place where DJT is going to be in an hour or so (nonpublic information he happens to have). When he gets there he sets up a sniper’s nest. When detected, he flees and drives directly away.

By a fortunate accident, an innocent (as far as we know) bystander graps a cell phone image of his car and his tags, so he gets arrested instead of escaping to his (no doubt) pre-planned bugout point of departure back to Hawaii or further away.

And - oh yes - he had a Go Pro camera to document teh assassination for whoever sent him.

I would not sell this guy life insurance.

That is confusing. I lean towards the shots fired just referring to shots fired at him as he was aiming, but we will have to wait for that to be cleared up.

I wonder if he drove himself or had a driver?

It’s very important to say, over and over again, that Harris is a mouthpiece for the Bush-Obama machine that wants war with Russia at any price.

He was involved in some charity in Hawaii which could have been a front. I wonder if it had Soros backing or if it was getting grant money of any kind?

I gag when zeepers talk about how much they love President Trump. When challenged and presented with facts, they become quite rude and intimidating.

Anyone with two or more brain cells can see right through them. Their bedfellows are democrats/globalists.

Zeepers have had my pic showing Pelosi mouthing the words "Slava Ukraini" removed along with my pix of Zelensky and Biden, Pelosi, Harris and democrat members of Congress, and my pix of democrats waving UKE flags on the floor of Congress removed.

They don't want undecided FReeper's seeing the truth.

Zelensky's slavic-UKE mafia has a strong presence on FR.

(Please note: One of the images shows Nancy Pelosi saying " Slava Ukraini". That is certainly not my view. I give "Glory" only to the God of the Bible.)

Has to be. No way around it.

Not necessarily. Two entities come to mind immediately:

Media

Secret Service
