Edwin , Trump went to golf at the last minute… who knew in his inner circle?

He has a “mole.” Probably, several of them. And I’d bet they have already been found out!

Watched Reagan last night, they did the same to him. This is more than some random nut job, the media covered him with two TV interviews. Very Pro Ukraine, question is where did his money come from to recruit at the level he did Mercernaies, but not go himself? Small donations, or do we connect Soros, Gates and the One Worlders to it.

He's been on the FBI RADAR FOR YEARS, YET NOT ARRESTED.

Trump Shooting Attempt Suspect Ryan Wesley Routh Charged

Police bodycam video shows the moment Donald Trump's accused would-be assassin was taken into custody. Ryan Wesley Routh walked backwards with his shirt over his head to show he was not carrying any weapons. He was apprehended 45 minutes after he fled Trump's West Palm Beach golf course where cops say he lay in wait like a sniper for 12 hours. Now, many are asking how someone could get so close to Trump. Inside Edition's Steven Fabian has more.

Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt at Donald Trump's Florida golf club, urged Iran to kill the former president in a book he self-published last year.

In 'Ukraine's Unwinnable War,' he said he had made a terrible mistake in once voting for Trump, whom he described as a 'buffoon'

'I must take part of the blame for the retarded child we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize,' he said, after berating the former president for abandoning the nuclear deal with Tehran.

The son of the man in custody after an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Sunday has reportedly said his father hates the former president.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said the state would conduct its own investigation. "The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee," DeSantis wrote on X.

Ryan Routh's Social Media Accounts Suspended

Routh's Facebook and X accounts were suspended in the wake of Sunday's shooting.

Both accounts reportedly featured numerous posts supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia. Routh spoke about his efforts to recruit volunteers for the International Legion Defense of Ukraine, a unit of Ukraine's Ground Forces, in a June 2022 interview with Newsweek Romania.

If I was running a genocide of the world, I would need big political stories to stay in the headlines, stories with enough oomph to distract from such a thing....can you think of anything? What's that, assination attempts, you say? Ah, brilliant....brilliant....

I imagine Trump is fully cooperative in this scenario; they would not be missing the shot, botching the previous invasions, failing at prosecuting, if he was not.

Sorry, I can’t agree. And it is not a few million, but approximately 7.451 billion.

Ah, yes, billions, easily. But consider the Roadrunner/Wiley E Coyote partnership....if you will; it only works as a moneymaker if we believe Wiley and the Roadrunner are not in cahoots ...the relationship is hidden to keep the franchise going, at any cost. But in the end they are both the work of a single mind, in order to make money.

D'Souza's book, Vindicating Trump, looks well worth reading. I hope Trump writes a book someday including how the assassination attempts affected him. How was he able to battle on after that, or after the earlier lawfare. Sometimes psychopathic assassin-politicians go after a spouse or family member to break a man. Really, we can't hate Democrats enough.

Speaking of which, I've come to wonder how can the USA survive if the Democrats stay in the nation. Seriously, b/c Democrats are fully onboard with the rising authoritarianism, war as policy, wokism as the newest iteration of Marxist oppression discourse, & a cultural shaming of Americanism, etc etc. The only solution would seem to be a national partition, or civil war, or WW3 as a distraction/ transition to a fully authoritarian system.

For the second time in 64 days, some angry nut with a gun tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

In last week’s debate, Kamala Harris declared, “Donald Trump left us the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

The Background on the Alleged Suspect in New Trump Assassination Attempt Is Something Else

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/09/15/more-on-the-suspect-in-new-assassination-attempt-n2179362

Routh allegedly has also made small donations to Democrats through ActBlue. He purportedly made 19 donations since 2019, including for individual 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates including former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). He has not donated to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

According to what people have seen of what is believed to be his X account, he was a huge supporter of Ukraine and he's also made a lot of bizarre posts, like this one to Elon Musk.

“I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin’s Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price please. It can be old and used as not returning,” Routh wrote

What isn't clear is how he knew Trump would be there at that time at the golf course, since that wasn't on Trump's public schedule. That raises even more questions.

Trump was on the fifth hole of his course when the shots rang out, prompting his protective detail to swarm him and usher him to the safety of the clubhouse. It marks the second assassination attempt on Trump in just two months.

As more information comes out about what is being investigated as an attempted assassination on Trump’s life, DeSantis announced Florida will conduct its own investigation to find out what happened at Trump International Golf Club.

“The people deserve the truth about the would-be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee,” DeSantis said in a post on X.
