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.'

The left hated Reagan and Bush too... Difference being now Republican elites also hate Trump. Perhaps it is more ominous now as the left controls most institutions too. It would take decades or a major war or disaster to make a dent in that.
Both YOU and your father are complete leftist nutcases, and mostly everything you’re saying is probably complete BS. Your father belongs in prison for the rest of his life and you shouldn’t be able to have a voice in this anymore. You’re a liar.
A machinegun is a weapon of mass destruction? Sounds a bit hyperbolic.
“Right. Or he is another liar.”
I found it odd that the son who had a falling out with his dad just got a text from him about something as benign as being at the beach. In the article he says he was a great dad, a good dude, a nice guy. The way the kid phrased “I didn’t even know he was in Florida” (or similar) seems like maybe the son lives in Florida. Hopefully the FBI search the son’s phone.
Also later on in the article he said he didn’t think what his dad did was wrong. Well, I’m not saying he did it, but if he did, he wasn’t wrong. Elections suck and nothing ever changes....(paraphrased).
I get the impression that the Ukrainians humoured this guy until they figured out that he was bringing nothing to the table except bluff, bluster and bullshit.
Probably involving explosives.
I BET ROUTH was a CIA ASSET!
The SS MISSED him with 4 SHOTS FIRED AT HIM!!! 4 SHOTS AND MISSED!!
No, the son is just EVIL also.
WTF?? We need all the info we can get.....even from his loser son.
....Shooters family insists he was such a good boy......
If would be assassins keep losing their loaner guns like this the Dem’s free gun booths outside of every President Trump venue might have to start charging deposits or requiring credit cards.
GOOD QUESTION!! And was it a RENTAL CAR or did he OWN it?? WHO WAS ON HIS PHONE!!
The Left is filled with hate.
The Democrat Party is a hate group.
Virtually all political violence comes from the Left.
Neighbors say he had a lot of guns in another article.
Who, having been arrested for possessing a machinegun illegally, would get off with just probation unless the derpstate told the judge he was an asset.
If I was even 15 years younger, my fists wouldnt fall far from his face.
But at 56 now, I’ll have to type my rage :)
Seriously, there is no patriotic opposition, no Tip O’Neill in the opposing camp, no blue dog democrats.
They were still left of us for sure, but would NOT have supported the insanity going on today...I think it was a dem who said Clinton was defining deviance down.
Dems are now a fringe thinking far far far left group.
So far left they are out of my eyesight.
The Demonicrat Party is full of these psychopaths, easily manipulated, and susceptible to key words or phrases from Demonicrats or the Enemedia that can activate them to carry out their delusional fantasies of making the U.S. safe from Republicans.
When you have a political party that is willing and advocates for the murder of citizens up to the time they are born (and even a little afterwards), and that party is eager to remove even the right of free speech from citizens afterwards, there are a lot of traitorous psychopaths to choose from.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Senator (D) New York...............
