As the investigation into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump enters its second day, a number of questions remain unanswered.
Chiefly, how could suspect Ryan Wesley Routh have known where the Republican candidate would be? And why would he have decided on such a drastic course of action?
The BBC says the latest suspected attempt on the life of Donald Trump is proof that ‘political violence’ is the ‘new norm’ in America. It’s half right. There does seem to be a ‘new normal’ over there, but it’s not some abstract thing called ‘political violence’. It’s not some broad-strokes brutish contempt for all rulers of society. It’s more targeted than that. It has one politician in particular in its crosshairs. If there’s a new normal in America, it would appear to be a new normal of an increasingly militant culture of grievance against the 45th President of the United States, now aspiring to be the 47th: Donald Trump.

The hedge fund mogul, Bill Ackman, is urging the chief executive of Disney, Bob Iger, to launch an investigation into a bombshell affidavit, purportedly from a whistleblower inside ABC News, which claims that the network colluded with the Harris campaign to disadvantage President Trump during the debate.
The affidavit is the latest blow to ABC News, which is facing a firestorm of criticism over its handling of last week’s presidential debate. During the debate, moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis aggressively fact checked Trump while not correcting Vice President Harris once, repeatedly steered the debate to topics of strength for Ms. Harris, such as abortion, and pressed Trump about the events of January 6.
There are many questions circulating about the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump in two months. Yet one that will particularly set conspiracy theorists abuzz is whether Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged suspect in West Palm Beach, made meaningful contact with any foreign governments.
Social media is already lit up with people comparing 58-year-old Routh to Lee Harvey Oswald, who at one point defected to the Soviet Union, met with Soviet officials at the embassy in Mexico shortly before the shooting of President John F. Kennedy, and allegedly mingled with Cuban intelligence. These facts are highly credible, but are often used by less credible members of the tinfoil hat brigade in colourful ways.

Former President Trump said President Biden and Vice President Harris’ “rhetoric” is what is causing him to be “shot at,” following the second assassination attempt against him since July, while telling Fox News Digital that the suspected gunman “acted” on “highly inflammatory language” of Democrats.
Trump spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital Monday morning, just a day after he was rushed off of the golf course at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Fla., after the Secret Service discovered a gunman in the bushes.
This guy just gets weirder…
Suspected Trump shooter wrote a book urging Iran to ‘kill’ Trump
‘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.
‘You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal.’

Trump Assassination Suspect Is a Felon Barred from Gun Possession
Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old alleged would-be Trump assassin, was charged with felon in possession of a firearm in federal court Monday, just hours after he was arrested in Florida.
ABC 11 reported “prosecutors levied two charges against him: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.”

GOP vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator JD Vance went on the Regime Media’s Sunday public affairs shows and utterly dismantled them for their lack of coverage of the stress that the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies have placed upon such towns as Springfield, Ohio, until a Trump-adverse angle can be exploited.
The wife of an impeachment witness against former president Trump has been slammed for mocking the latest assassination attempt on the Republican nominee.
Rachel Vindman, wife of retired Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman, posted on X saying: ‘No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.’
Vindman had took aim at the president who was struck in the ear following an assassination attempt in July, two months before the events of Sunday.
Donald Trump was yesterday the target of an assassination attempt while playing golf at his West Palm Beach club in Florida. The attempt comes eight weeks after the former president was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
This sequence of events doesn’t just “raise questions”: it challenges some of the foundational assumptions of American political life. During this latest attempt, a Secret Service agent who advanced ahead of Trump on the course spotted a rifle barrel sticking out from foliage against a chain-link fence. Agents “immediately engaged” — though it’s unclear what that means — and the suspect, thought to be 58-year-old Ryan Routh, fled before eventually being caught by police on a Florida highway. The distance between the would-be assassin and Trump is estimated at around 300 metres.
The media is the problem, they are doing the work of the Deep State which seeks to justify Trump’s murder through the demonization of he and his voters.

In April 2022, a little over a month after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stream of middle-aged European and American volunteers were passing through Poland on their way into Ukraine. There was the retired attorney delivering sweets to Ukrainian orphanages; the Irish former French Foreign Legion soldier carrying luggage for refugees, and the Englishman who had moved from France to help rescue pets. One American in his 60s was transporting dead frozen chicks from Poland to a zoo in western Ukraine. They called themselves the “silent army” and the “get-off-the-couch crew”.
Possibility Ryan Wesley Routh Had Informant ‘Scary’: Ex-FBI Leader
The man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump may have had inside information on his movements, a former FBI assistant director said.
Chris Swecker told Newsweek that law enforcement will have to establish how Ryan Wesley Routh appeared to know the exact details of when Trump was playing golf at a Florida resort.

Republicans are demanding that Donald Trump receive the same security as Joe Biden after an unprecedented two assassination attempts on the former president in as many months.
The suspected attempt on the life of the Republican candidate at his Florida golf club on Sunday has put his security arrangements under the spotlight once again.
Trump’s round-the-clock protective detail had been bolstered following a shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania in July, during which a bullet grazed his ear.
Nothing to see here.

ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump’s Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Routh’s son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday’s shooting, said this was the first he’d heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
‘This was the first I heard about it,’ the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘Was my father shot or injured?’
He said his father hates Trump as ‘every reasonable person does.
The Deep State and its media lackeys have done a thorough job of demonizing Trump hoping to inspire his assassination.

Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? Donald Trump assassination attempt suspect voted for the former president before wishing he was ‘gone’, donated to Democrats and fought in Ukraine
The man who allegedly planned to assassinate Donald Trump went from voting for him in 2016 to donating to Democrats in 2020, to four years later calling him a ‘threat to democracy’ and claiming he’d ‘be glad when’ Trump’s gone.

Inside Job? … I would not be surprised.
Trump assassination attempt sparks chilling theory into how out-of-state gunman knew about former president’s last-minute golf game
There are fears would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh had help from the inside to target the former president at his Florida golf club Sunday.
The alleged gunman has been identified as registered Democrat Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was found unarmed after fleeing the scene, leaving behind a backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle. He is now in custody.
Trump’s game was not publicly known about as it was a last-minute decision and his schedule is not provided to the press, sparking curiosity as to how Routh knew Trump would be on the greens.

The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
Routh was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside Trump International Golf Club while Trump was playing the fifth hole on Sunday afternoon.
He was able to push the muzzle of his gun through the chainlink fence outside the golf club, authorities said.
