Alleged Trump gunman Ryan Wesley Routh was rejected as ‘wack job’ when he tried to volunteer for Ukraine, fighters say

Alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh rolled up in Ukraine last year looking to fight the Russians and make an impact — but was quickly rejected and pushed aside after being dubbed a “wack job” and “off” by the more serious foreign fighters in the country, several sources involved in the volunteer effort said.

While some had interacted with him personally, others told The Post they knew his “type” and were “not at all surprised by it.”

“A crazy idiot, but no one’s really surprised. There are people like that that show up and are desperate to help and be important,” one American fighting for Ukraine told The Post. “And he was just one of those – just on the crazier end of things.”

The American fighters and volunteers who spoke to The Post requested anonymity for fear of Russian doxxing.

Routh, 58, had no military experience, but traveled to Ukraine around March 2023 thinking he could help out in the war effort, anyway.

One volunteer told The Post that Routh’s alleged use of a GoPro when he staked out Trump was particularly telling of his problematic connections to Ukraine, saying that “there’s too many clout chasers” among foreign visitors to Ukraine.

“A lot of the people that are here are not really here for Ukraine, they’re not really here for the war. They’re here to kind of be famous or live out a fantasy or feel like they’re a part of something,” the volunteer said.

“Ukraine for them is kind of like their chance to finally make it. I think unfortunately that for the vast majority of them, that’s not helping.”

“He’d been “yelled at” every time he suggested they tap Afghan commandos.”

Lol! One gets the impression the Ukrainians got right fed up with this crackpot pestering them. I can just imagine it: “Go away, lunatic, we’re trying to run a war here!”

“And I do think something deeper is going on here.”

It is all around you. If you want to take the first step to understanding what is going on, watch this video from beginning to end. It is right there, and I do not mean the FBI, or the guy videoing.

Did you see it?

The guy had at least five vehicular surveillance staged on his house. When he got demeaning to the FBI, a central controller, who was listening through either the cell phone mics there, or mics mounted on the telephone polls, ordered all the vehicular to pick up, and to intimidation driveby’s while revving engines. No vehicles for the whole video, until be went aggressive with the agents at the end, and then it is a traffic jam.

Those were not brought in for him. Those are local citizens who act as volunteer informers/harassers/agents for the US domestic surveillance, which is modelled on the old East German Stasi, and probably employs more citizen spy/informant/harassers per capita. And that is in your neighborhood too, and since you are here I will guarantee it has listened to private moments in your home you would never dream anyone would be listening to, and those people have, at least occasionally followed you through grocery stores, noting what you buy for your file.

It is way over the hairy edge of legality, to the point it now needs to seize control, or most of them will be going to prison, or be killed in a civil war when it comes out.

There appears to be a segment of US intel which is opposing them, and it is manifesting as a civil war within the intel community, and you are seeing it all over, from Trump to the Havana syndrome.

You can read my site for more, but if you find it frightening, you have to tell others about it to pay me back, and help me expose this thing.
