The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump's Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Routh's son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday's shooting, said this was the first he'd heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
'This was the first I heard about it,' the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. 'Was my father shot or injured?'
He said his father hates Trump as 'every reasonable person does.
‘I don't like Trump either,’ the son added.
But he said his dad is not a violent person and couldn't believe his father would target the president.
'He's my dad and all he's had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know,' the son said. 'That's crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that's nothing like him.'
The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.
Routh said his father, who had no military experience, said he had traveled to Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion to help volunteer and provide aid to those affected.
Routh moved to Hawaii a few years back and was living with his longtime girlfriend. He said he didn't know his father was even in Florida.
'He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii,' he said. 'I didn't ask him for more information because we've had a falling out. We've grown apart.'

Does anyone understand why they hate Trump so much? What has he done to them or anyone in the time he was President? Do they even understand why they hate him?
Anyone?
Needs a helecopter ride.
So if this loser actually knows guns, why would he use an AK to try for the kill? Seems like he would use something more professional.
.
They’re going to say he’s a Republican. They’re going to say he’s a Trump supporter.
They’re going to say he’s the nicest small arms dealer you can find.
If you think they’re going to cede the obvious, you haven’t been paying attention.
I expected a second attempt and it happened. I think there will be one more before 5 November.
Another nest of scumbags.
Liberals, leftists, democrats are not good people and never have been. They were always thugs.
Sonny boy doesn’t know about his mentally deranged father being trained and used as a patsy by the CIA.
I dunno but it sure makes it easy to decide who to vote for. Just vote for the guy the corrupt politicans, mental cases, celebrities, and America haters want to kill.
Ryan Wesley Routh and Oran Routh are TDS-diseased creatures who belong mental institution along with other TDS-diseased Demonicrats.

These people are convinced they’re going to pull It off and survive.
He obviously thought the footage was going to be with him in Ukraine or some rogue nation.
Maybe the AK could not be traced to him by the ammo, and his more professional guns could?
.
Common sense dictates there will be more attemps on Trump.
.
His dad had some 8 arrests. That’s not just “traffic tickets.”
.
That’s a different Ryan Routh. I watched a Video
So, disregard.
Bet there is a link to McMullin / McMuffin, whatever his name was, in Utah.

George Floyd.
He did brutal armed home invasions, and the media called it - minor violations.
.
He evidently parked very close and had a good getaway plan. He outmaneuvered the Secret Service.
To your post, he had help on the inside. That’s the conclusion.
