Sources reveal that Ryan Wesley Routh is the man arrested for allegedly pointing an AK-47 at former President Donald Trump at his gold court. Law enforcement sources reportedly claim that Trump, who narrowly survived a second attempted assassination this year, is ‘safe’ after the incident.
Incident Details
On September 16, Donald Trump narrowly escaped assassination when a sniper with an AK-47 rifle got within a few hundred yards of him at a golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said, “With a rifle and scope like that, the distance is not significant.” Suspect took a shot at Trump but was thwarted by Secret Service agents who opened fire. Routh escaped initially but was apprehended by locals along I-95.
Who Is Ryan Wesley Routh?
Ryan Wesley Routh was reportedly spotted driving by Trump International Golf Club, attempting to make an escape unharmed with a rifle targeted at the former president. He is shortly thereafter apprehended. Ryan’s LinkedIn indicated a history of creative projects and mechanical work. The man was in a shed-building company.
Political Affiliations And Views
Routh’s reports show he donated more than $140 to Democrat causes since 2019. He contributed to other candidates earlier, including Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat who allied with Trump. He also supported Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley in the previous elections, and his displeasure with several politicians was evident on the social network.
Routh continues making his say on politics and social issues through social media. He was very avid in Ukraine’s fight against Russia. He even opted to report at the front lines. His online activity complained about some global leaders and celebrities due to his controversial stance on various issues.
Response Of Trump
Finally, in an email to his supporters, Trump confirmed that he was safe by saying “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first I AM SAFE AND WELL!” Trump added, “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER.
