WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The man suspected in an apparent assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump camped outside a golf course with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours before a Secret Service agent confronted him and opened fire, according to court documents filed Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, faces charges of possessing a firearm despite a prior felony conviction and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Additional and more serious charges are possible as the investigation continues and Justice Department prosecutors seek an indictment from a grand jury.

Doesn’t Trump play at that course nearly everyday ? He probably just didn’t know the exact time.

I’d be interested in his location pings for the last few Sunday afternoons. Bet this is a habit hoping for a payoff.

I'm more organic than that. The USSS had agents "playing ahead" a couple of holes. How about a dog walking the course boundaries with them?

If he had waited a bit longer to point his barrel the story might have ended differently.

Somebody noted how Trump posted one keystroke in a Friday post: #

The symbol for checkmate. There was a lot of speculation about what that meant. Now there’s speculation that he knew they were going to try again to assassinate him, and this time they would be caught.

I don’t expect anything from the FBI investigation. But this is within the jurisdiction of Florida law enforcement, not some corrupt northeast state. In this case, we may just actually get the truth.

If only we had the technology to find humans hiding based on body temp

I am already tired of sloppy “Journalism” here and at the MSM.
At least some “News” report say “AK-47” pattern, or “Type”.
AK-47 is FULLL AUTO!
This almost certainly had to be an AKM, SEMI-AUTO.
Word matter, accuracy in speech matters.

Our local manufacturing plant has an infrared drone that is sometimes used to hunt for people lost in the hills.

I actually wonder if Erik Prince has access to that capability also. Maybe Trump should add some of his own security.

Or maybe Trump is trying to expose the Deep State. Just hope he doesn’t get killed in the process. I hope he makes sure his plane is also secure. No more “hydraulic leaks”...

I think the “heated rhetoric” is used by the politicians to give cover for the Deep State. If they can get a lot of supposed “normies” to want Trump dead, then they can hide who is really trying to kill him. There was a guy - can’t remember his name - Mark Epstein? - who said that “they” (the world cabal, though he used a different term for it, IIRC) would never let Trump become President again. IIRC he said it was common knowledge. He is a threat to the status quo for money, etc.

I think the whole world needs to understand that it is the world’s current overlords - the ones who want 90% of the world dead and the remaining 10% to serve their human “gods” - who want Trump gone, because he threatens to allow peace and prosperity for us peons.

From the article:

“Underscoring the level of planning involved, Routh is believed to have been positioned at the tree line of the golf course from about 1:59 a.m. to 1:31 p.m. Sunday, according to an FBI affidavit that cites cellphone data.”

Notice the key phrase “according to an FBI affidavit”. It can no longer be assumed that anything the FBI says must be true.

“But I thought the outing was a last minute decision.

So he was just lucky to have decided to wait there at that particular course on that day???”

Excellent point. A last-minute decision to play golf, but this clown was camped out for 12 hours waiting to shoot Trump.

There’s a photo of him in the police car and he’s smirking.

Like he knows his co-conspirators are working to protect him.

I bet that smirk gets wiped off his face the instant he learns his co-conspirators are going to silence him...

I hope you have correctly interpreted the hidden meaning behind Trump’s ‘Checkmate’ message. This is like trying to decipher Q’s messaging all over again.

I have no idea what he meant. But he meant something.

Just like he meant something when he stood with military leaders and said this was the “calm before the storm”. Media people asked him what he meant and he said, “You’ll see.”

It’s an interesting theory though. I’d be interested to know the circumstances of the witness who caught the license plate of the car the shooter drove. He only owns 2 trucks, it is claimed, so he must have rented, borrowed, or stolen that car, and I doubt he was able to do that at almost 2am. Strange to have a getaway car and yet also have a GoPro to record the assassination with. Does he want to get caught or not? My guess is he had the GoPro for the same reason that CNN covered the Butler rally when they never cover Trump rallies. But anyway, that person who just happened to be within view of the attempted assassin’s car and just happened to catch the license plate number is what allowed the guy to be caught by somebody besides the FBI, and before his entire social media presence could be scrubbed.

That would support the idea that this could have been a set-up by Trump to catch the Deep State red-handed.

It’s also interesting that Trump’s response was ugh, I really wanted to play those holes, etc.

There’s always plenty to think about. Not always a lot of clear answers.
