Ryan Routh planned to assassinate Donald Trump outside his Florida golf club — and thankfully, he failed. Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker has done some digging on the would-be assassin, and he isn’t thrilled with what he’s found. “What we’ve uncovered is more questions that are not being answered,” Baker tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “Was he there by luck of the draw from three different courses that President Trump could have played that morning?” “They could answer all of these questions right now. They could also answer the question about whether that GoPro...

A Secret Service whistleblower revealed that would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh had inside information on the security vulnerabilities at Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. Routh was able to set up a sniper’s nest with a perfect range just roughly 300 yards from Trump. Senator Josh Hawley wrote in a letter: “A whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service protection of former President Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach — an individual who has in fact protected President Trump at that very location — alleges that there are ‘known vulnerabilities’ in the fence line surrounding the course: places...

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...

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser as more information comes out about Ryan Wesley Routh, the unhinged Kamala fan who got all too close to assassinating Donald Trump on Sunday. First, he didn't like Trump. At all. Judging by his tweet history, he voted for Trump in 2016, but at some point became disillusioned and, clearly, violent. A truck in the driveway of his home in Hawaii is bedecked with a "Biden-Harris" campaign sticker, so his allegiances had clearly changed. He had turned on Trump way before he set up his sniper's nest near that golf course in Florida. Second,...

Guilford County Sheriff’s Office via AP The more we learn about Trump's would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, the more we scratch our heads trying to understand how this guy was not on a list, how he got so close, how nobody noticed some crazy man sitting in a but for 12 hours ... This second attempt on Trump's life has turned into a situation where the more we learn the more questions we have. Questions, we're afraid, the mainstream media isn't all that interested in getting answered. For example, Routh's financial situation makes NO SENSE. From Paul Sperry: How the Hell...

John Solomon @jsolomonReports Alleged assassin’s criminal record, foreign travel raise questions U.S. intel may be able to answer From justthenews.com 6:50 AM · Sep 17, 2024 ·

Any time there’s an attempt on a presidential candidate — of which there has been an alarming increase in frequency in 2024 — pundits, law enforcement and everyday Americans will inevitably search for the “why” or “how.” After Sunday’s alleged assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Course near West Palm Beach, Florida, the answer to “how” may very well infuriate Americans, law enforcement and pundits alike. According to an ominous report from the New York Post, alleged gunman Ryan Wesley Routh was able to get dangerously close to shooting Trump thanks to a glaring —...

Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old alleged attempted assassin who tried to kill former President Donald Trump on Sunday, is avowedly pro-Ukraine — but appears, from his social media history, to also be anti-Israel. In one post, preserved by the Israeli media service Abu Ali Express, Routh showed a Biblical map of “Palestine” (the name did not exist in Biblical times) and asked: “I am unclear what part of Isreal [sic] the Jews owned based on this historic map; Judea perhaps? It seems to historically be all palestinian [sic].” The term “Palestine” was not used until the second century A.D., when...

The alleged would-be assassin who attempted to kill former President Donald Trump on Sunday, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was once photographed with Biden-Harris administration appointee celebrity chef José Andrés in Kyiv, Ukraine. Routh, who allegedly was staking out the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach with a scoped AK-47 on Sunday, appears to be obsessed with the Russia-Ukraine war, so much so that he wrote a book about it. In it, Routh shares a picture of himself alongside Andrés, who Biden appointed as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition in 2022.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has admitted that alleged Trump assassin Ryan Routh was on the FBI’s radar in 2019. In a press conference, Jeffrey Veltri, the FBI Special Agent in charge of the Miami field office that is investigating the attempted assassination against Trump, admitted the FBI received a “tip” on Routh in 2019. Veltri stated, “I can also share with you that Routh was a subject of a previous closed 2019 tip to the FBI where it was alleged he was a felon in possession of a firearm.” “The alleged complainant was interviewed and did not verify providing...

The gunman who allegedly staked out former President Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course with an SKS rifle was able to exploit a security hole that the Secret Service has known about for years. News photographers — including those hired by The Post — have had no problem repeatedly securing spots around the perimeter of the course to snap pictures of Trump playing golf or driving around in a golf cart. They have even taken images — which require a clear line of sight to the 45th president — unnoticed through the bushes with telephoto lenses. Some have gotten...

Last year I was working on an article about foreign fighters and volunteers in Ukraine... Among the people I interviewed: Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man whom the F.B.I. is investigating in what it is calling an assassination attempt... Mr. Routh, who had spent some time in Ukraine trying to raise support for the war, was seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban... There were a few complications. Mr. Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N. C., said he never fought in Ukraine himself — he was too old and had no military experience. *** When...

Now that we have had the second Trump Assassination attempt that our researchers predicted, a simple comparison will help us keep straight what we know in both cases. First, Thomas Crooks wasn’t even born before Ryan Routh committed his first felony on April 23rd, 2002 for possession of Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Guilford County, North Carolina. Fast forward to last year, Routh managed a group called the International Volunteer Legion that organized mercenaries to fight in Ukraine and was in Ukraine for five months and made lobbying trips to Washington, DC for that purpose. Routh conducted several fundraisers to...

DC_Draino @DC_Draino Who wants to bet Trump’s shooter “mysteriously dies” while in prison? No way they’re going to let this guy go to trial and expose the whole operation

...It turns out Routh was well known to law enforcement and had been on the FBI's radar since 2019. A tip came in claiming that the convicted felon was in possession of a firearm, officials revealed at a press conference on Monday, but the tipster never confirmed the information... FBI, Secret Service and other federal and local officials also provided an update as conspiracy theories fly about the would-be Trump assassin, saying it appears Routh was a lone wolf actor. 'We do not have information that has been acting with anyone else in present,' the Miami FBI Field Office's Special...
