They fired shots at a guy and didn’t hit him?
How is that possible?
The USSS had a sniper team with eyes on the suspect and they didn’t take him out?
How is that possible?
Bonus round:
How did this loser know the presidents schedule, which course he would be on and about what time he would arrive at the spot where the assassin could perform his horrid deed?
It was reported this morning he was CAMPED OUT for TWELVE HOURS at the golf course.
Who leaked the President’s schedule? How did the leaked schedule find its way from the leaker to the would-be assassin?
This smells like a DS operation. But why do they keep selecting such lousy shots? You’d think with all their resources, they would recruit a disgruntled ex special forces sniper.
Maybe the intent wasn’t to kill Trump but to sow more discord in the nation.
How “last minute” was it? The guy was set up at midnight. So who all knew about it? Somebody sure as hell leaked. Maybe a golf course person?
Bongino’s opinion - There is an inside mole in the SS.
I’m still not sure when Trump came back from California. It likely was late Saturday/night. He gets up in the morning and announces he would like to go golfing this (Sunday) morning. Now,k how does Roush know to be at the course and with time enough to lie in wait on holes 5/6. Bongino thinks it was a mole who tipped Roush off.
Well, if he was truly there 12 hours ahead and the PRESIDENT didn’t even know he’d be golfing yesterday, then maybe the guy simply was hoping to get lucky??
Well a competent LEO organization would check his pings for the last few weeks. I’d bet this isn’t the first time he set up. Just the first time he’s been lucky.
Don’t discount that the Trump team could be making schedule changes so as to unearth snakes.
The shooter had to prepare in advance with rifle and gear. He was probably advised to travel to Florida and be in the area by an inside source and advised to stand by to go to the golf course on short notice.
He may have been staying at a hotel nearby waiting for the call to go and set up his sniper position. He would have to buy meals while waiting.
He would not camp out indefinitely at the golf course because he would have been discovered. He had to have had advance knowledge ON THE DAY, provided from inside President Trump’s security team.
The speculation, including some of mine, is that these two assassination attempts were a democrat or deep state operation.
A counter theory is the democrat/MSM media are actually brainwashing these jerks into believing democracy is at stake and their low IQ’s actually believe it. The MSM is probably more to blame than anyone else for inciting these people.
Both of them could have been acting on their own as both of their plans were poorly carried out.
Add to this theory the woke incompetence of the USSS and these guys almost pulled it off.
In other words, there is a probability neither one was actually hired by anyone.
Just a theory.
according to another thread he was there for over 12 hours.
You’ve pretty much said all that I was ready to post. Two things are clear: The USSS’s dismal and nearly lethal performance in Butler, and; The USSS always knows the President’s schedule.
So unless the FBI has again infiltrated Trump’s campaign, as they did in 2016, that leaves the spotlight on a very small gaggle of involved individuals familiar with his day-to-day events.
Additional info: Usually the USSS does a very wide ranging, comprehensive sweep in advance of the President’s arrival (even to the extent of removing mail deposit boxes), yet it’s reported that the killer had camped out at the hole for 12 hours. It may be time for Trump to turn to private security, over which he at least has some control.
bttt
It it was last minute, then someone who is a mole (SS/FBI) had to tip off the shooter
Sometimes the obvious is the obvious answer: I doubt Trump includes golf on his publicly released schedule unless it is a charitable event or campaign related. All Routh had figure out is when Trump would likely be at Mar-A-Lago, which is easy to do based upon Trump’s publicly released schedule. Trump loves to play golf — that is public knowledge — and if he is staying at Mar-A-Lago, there is a really good chance that he will play a round of golf at his golf course.
Routh, apparently waited in his “snipper’s nest for 12 hours. I don’t think Routh was tipped off. He simply made an educated guess that Trump would play golf on Sunday, and he guessed correctly.

I read that in addition to a camera, he had two backpacks containing ceramic plates tied to the fence, and that certain types of ceramic are used to to make bullet proof materials. If true, then perhaps the SS didn’t miss him, but otherwise deadly shots were stopped by the ceramic shields.
I have not read anything about an SS sniper team locked in on the suspect. My understating is that SS agent who was clearing the hole ahead of Trump, saw the shooter and opened fire with his service side-arm, which was probably a Glock 19 9mm (https://backfire.tv/secret-service-handguns-the-exact-models-they-use/)
I apologize.
There will be a third attempt (fourth) in the second week of October.
I pray that prediction is wrong.
5.56mm
According to one report, an agent saw only the rifle barrel through the fence and fired in the vicinity of it. The perp dropped the weapon and fled.
Darren Beattie said, you can tell when a Democrat loses a debate, there is an assassination attempt afterwards. Maybe President Trump should pass on future debates???
