Fresh information has revealed more about 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who is suspected of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Florida golf course.

A man armed with an AK-47 had a GoPro and was “intent on filming” an attempted assassination of Donald Trump at his Florida golf course before being shot at by Secret Service on Sunday.

Mr Trump “is safe” following the incident at the Trump International Golf Course close to his Mar-a-Lago home, with the suspect in custody.

US media has named the suspect as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh.

“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the FBI said in a statement.

Lots of convenient misinformation out there already.

On his white truck in Hawaii, he has Biden and Harris stickers on it. He supported Biden and now Harris.

He supposedly has an arsenal.

The guy keeps listing unemployed in forms, which would make his travel, guns, and life very interesting.

Exactly. Plus how does a person with a criminal record get to travel internationally to areas of conflict without something popping up on State Dept or alphabet agency radar?

You mean guys like bagpipe Bill Barr? do you mean guys like Chris Christie? we can’t ignore that maybe there’s someone in his group that gave the information out. How did this guy know to be where he was? someone gave him the information.

The Secret Service did shoot at him, but they missed, or were those meant to be warning shots only?

Trump needs to stop unnecessary risk. No more outside rally’s or golf. All indoor events.

I won’t disagree, we both know, he’s not going to change his campaign tactics.

Why he would list unemployed I’m not sure, but in North Carolina he had a roofing business and in Hawaii he had a construction company making low end homes for the poor. He had to have some money to fly to Florida, purchase a weapon, a car or rental, hotel, etc. No low income person could afford this.

If DJT wins he’ll be a target every minute of every day. His second term will be one of isolation.

Maybe not if Dan Bongino is running the Secret Service.

So Bill Barr and Chris Christie are informed of Trump’s last minute golf schedule?

Vs. The Secret Service and its politically appointed leadership.

Distraction - Fail

His son says he “hates Trump like every other reasonable person” but is nonviolent yet his father was arrested for having a fully automatic weapon in a four hour stand off with police in Greensboro.
Meth6the son doesn’t have a good relationship with his dad.

Pesident Trump needs a wartime cosigliere, not the Barbie doll girl attorneys I see commenting on his cases on TV.

He has a real blind spot when it comes to hiring.

Of course I love the guy, but he needs a real defense team.

In that tiny patch of land in FL, his own course for crying out loud, this guy should never have been able to set up camp, hang up his GoPro and pictures of his kids, start his barbecue, etc.

He should have been detected and arrested before he got out of his car.

I heard yesterday that SS protection was limited because he was 'just a presidential candidate' but that's really not true is it?

As a "typical" American conservative I would humbly pray every night that a number of top Rats...including Heels Up Harris and The Big Guy...would die in a fiery plane crash. But I would never do anything to physically harm them nor would I assist,or support,anyone who wanted to.

But Rat Party Headquarters has done such an effective job in convincing many Americans (and non-Americans) that DJT is Satan's evil twin that I can easily see him meeting a violent death...regardless of who's in charge at the Secret Service.

Now you’re missing my point about Bill Barr and Chris Christie. Both of these guys were on the Presidents staff and they would’ve done anything they could to hurt him. Which they did. Someone on his staff giving up information to an outside source as to where Donald Trump will be is possible. Or someone in his Secret Service detail giving up information to an outside source. How does this guy just appear out of nowhere and know exactly where to be? And wasn’t a Birdie on the 4th hole.

What I fear most is a close range shot, when he is out shaking hands, etc.

Routh is groomed by the CIA.

All the American mercenaries that went to Ukraine are under CIA control.
