The suspect accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course wrote a chilling note months earlier declaring he intended to kill the former president, the Justice Department said Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly dropped the note — addressed “To the World” — off in a box at an unnamed person’s home in the months before the foiled assassination attempt at the West Palm Beach golf course on Sept. 15, federal prosecutors said in a court filing.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you,” the letter read.

“I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

The note goes on to say that “everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a US president.

“U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.”

The handwritten note was only discovered after the person opened the box and alerted authorities in the wake of Routh’s arrest, prosecutors said.

Wow. No doubt what Routh's "motive" was.

*Crickets* from the lamestream media...

Could it be the deep state wants you to think there are so many out there they can’t keep up? It then becomes easy to dismiss the wrong one.

1. Why on Earth would the DOJ release this?
2. Where does this nut bar get money to fly all over the world let alone offer $150,000 for someone to assassinate Trump?
3. When does Routh Epstein bomself?

coincidence?

Looks like chelsea clintons hand writing.

Compared to her infamous “Mom. Dad’s a rapist” or “Webb called mom, family reunion in Memphis on the 13th” notes.

The media are certainly downplaying all of this.

Imagine if were a MAGA supporter who tried to take out Kamala Harris, it would be national, front page news for months on end (all blaming Trump, of course, and his “dangerous rhetoric).

This psycho aside, I find it interesting that Trump haters conveniently have selective amnesia when it comes to his first 4 years as president.

If he was going to do all the outlandish things they claim he is going to do if he gets reelected, wouldn’t he have done them in his first term?

Attorney General Merrick Garland and the DOJ released the "trigger-letter", with its offer of $150,000 to incite other would-be assassins to try what Crooks and Routh failed to do.

It's more evidence that the DeepState is sponsoring a "Get rid of Trump" campaign.

‘See? He’s not a CIA operative to travels the world doing Deep State business! He’s just a nut! This note proves it!’

The Democrats and complicit actors must be real paranoid! ‘We were just following orders...’
