It hasn’t been a week since President Trump floored Kamala Harris and her two aides from the ABC News in the presidential debate and another attempt has already been made on his life. Is the Deep State desperate to defeat the impending victory of the conservative candidate that they can’t own? Whose invisible hand is perceptible behind the would-be assassin this time? And how aggressive will be the cover-up in the federal investigation this time?
These and many more questions surround the latest case of the anti-MAGA cabal’s attempt to murder President Trump. On Sunday, Ryan Wesley Routh from Hawaii was arrested after he made it to the International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, armed with an AK-47 with the plan to shoot President Trump. But the Secret Service responded in a timely manner this time and fired at Ryan before he could shoot at Trump from across the fence.
Ryan fled the scene but was arrested on I-95 after the police got his picture and vehicle details from a witness. He was held at the Martin County Police Department before being presented at the court on Monday for charging him with a series of crimes.
So who is Ryan Wesley Routh and, more importantly, who or what drove him to the attempted murder of President Trump?
Media has by now widely reported on the brief history of Ryan Wesley Routh as seen from his appearance in media and his social media footprint. The 58-year-old is originally from North Carolina and recently moved to Hawaii. According to Breitbart and other media sources, he had donated exclusively to Democrat campaigns since 2019. In 2022, he visited Ukraine, where he was interviewed by Newsweek.
Routh’s social media profile was removed both by Facebook and X (Twitter) soon after he was identified as the would-be shooter. However, independent researchers and social media sleuths were quick enough to record his posts before they were removed from the public eye; and they reveal his possible suspected motives as well as the possible connections related to his motives.
Routh’s tweets and messages on X reveal that he was a chronic Trump-hater and advocated against Trump’s presidential bid, even urging other Republicans to challenge Trump. Ryan has been passionately active in advocacy for Ukraine in its war against Russia. He vigorously advocated for American soldiers to be allowed to go to Ukraine as civilians and also invited foreigners from poor countries to move to Ukraine.
In one such exchange from June 2023, which has attracted a lot of attention from conservatives and independent journalists, Ryan told an Afghan man named Hameed that he can help him get to Ukraine to fight against Russia. Hameed asked him how he can get to that path and Ryan asked him to text him on his whatsapp number. In the same exchange a little later, Ryan is seen telling Hameed: “we are getting close the pentagon has agreed to help….wait a little longer.”
The message indicates Ryan was in touch with Pentagon over recruiting foreign fighters to move to Ukraine. The full history of Ryan’s exchanges on X, recorded as a video, has been posted to X by many conservative and independent researchers.
By now conservatives have widely rejected the idea that the FBI will conduct a fair and honest investigation. Independent journalist Kyle Becker posted on X that Jeffrey Veltri, the head of FBI Miami Field Office, is a notorious Trump hater and added: “Veltri was so outspoken about his Trump-deranged Facebook posts that agents were ordered to scrub them before he could be promoted to head the Miami field office.”
Independent researchers have also been wondering how Ryan could have known about Trump’s visit to the golf club since it was not made public and was a last minute decision. Mike Adams of Natural News and Brighteon posted on X that his sources point to the Department of Homeland Security as the hand behind the leak of Trump’s location. He wrote:
“Homeland Security is leaking location details to FBI, and FBI is running the assassins. The entire top leadership of the FBI is desperately trying to figure out how to eliminate Trump, while the loyal elements of US Secret Service are trying to stop it.”
Amidst widespread suspicion of the federal agencies as politically hostile to President Trump, Florida Governor Ron Desantis has announced a state investigation of the latest assassination attempt on President Trump. The Governor announced it on X on Sunday evening.
With cheers for President Trump surviving another attempt on his life and outrage over the Trump-hating narratives in media by Democrat and their allies, there were quite a few humorous takes on Trump defeating the murder plot. One in particular created a meme video showing Trump hitting his assassin with a golf ball – with Kamala Harris as the gunslinger knocked down by the ball.
