Ryan Wesley Routh has reportedly been identified as the man arrested for allegedly pointing an AK-47 at former President Donald Trump while he was golfing, according to law enforcement sources. The former president, who successfully dodged a second assassination attempt this year after nearly being hit by a bullet in Pennsylvania, is reported to be 'safe' following the incident. Known for publicly supporting left-wing causes and promoting his self-styled "do-gooder" image on social media, Routh’s arrest has raised many questions.
On September 16, former President Trump, while spending his day at a club in West Palm Beach, Florida, narrowly escaped another assassination attempt, reports say.
According to authorities, a sniper carrying a scoped AK-47 rifle got within a few hundred yards of Trump from the place he was golfing as part of his usual routine. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, according to the POST, revealed that the suspect tried to hide himself near a chain-link fence about 300 to 500 yards away. He acknowledged, “With a rifle and scope like that is not a long distance.”
Social media keeps buzzing about Routh's supposed tweets about Donald Trump. One tweet mentioned he was all in to help Ukraine fight Russia in its battle. "I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE-Will I be able to cross to border to fight without a Visa????Every citizen around the globe should be running to Ukraine to fight; Can I be the example We must win," the tweet read.
In an old video he is also seen breaking down as he begged people to ‘come fight’
