Secret Service Stops potential Assassin who was 300-500 yards away from Trump on Golf Course with Rifle

Former President Donald Trump appears to have survived a second assassination attempt. Shots were fired in West Palm Beach, Fla., just outside his golf course at approximately 2:00 EDT on 9/15/24, prompting Secret Service agents to take Trump to safety "after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources."

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been identified as the suspect who was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at former President Trump while he golfed, according to law enforcement sources.

As many as four to six shots were fired by the Secret Service. It remains unknown if the would-be assailant returned fire. The armed suspect was posted up outside the club around the 5th and 6th hole. 

Multiple police sources have confirmed to media that a 'high powered rifle' was recovered at the scene and that he was pointing the weapon towards the golf course on Sunday afternoon before shots were fired at 2:00 p.m. The suspect's car is also in police possession.

The area where the suspect was first spotted by his security detail was two holes ahead of where Trump was golfing at the time of gunshots, causing the individual to flee. 

As to why the would-be assassin was able to get that close to the former president despite a previous assassination attempt on him in June, the authorities said that the security perimeter could only be so wide due to him being a presidential candidate as opposed to a sitting president.

“You got to understand the golf course is surrounded by shrubbery,” said Bradshaw. “When somebody gets into the shrubbery, they’re pretty much out of sight. At this level [Trump] is at right now, he’s not the sitting president. If he was, we would have the entire golf course surrounded.”

Trump blames Harris, Biden for second assassination attempt: ‘Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at’

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the man who allegedly tried to assassinate him as he golfed Sunday was motivated by the “rhetoric” of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,” the Republican presidential nominee, 78, told Fox News.

“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out.” 

Trump cited suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, using nearly identical language to Biden and Harris about the ex-president posing a threat to American democracy if he retakes the White House.

“These are people that want to destroy our country,” Trump said of Biden and Harris. “It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat.”

The White House said in a statement, “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

President Joe Biden reacts to the second Trump assassinat*on attempt:

In a separate post on X, Vice President Kamala Harris said she had been briefed on the incident and added, “I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.”

“I’m glad President Trump is safe. I spoke to him before the news was public and he was, amazingly, in good spirits. Still much we don’t know, but I’ll be hugging my kids extra tight tonight and saying a prayer of gratitude,” said Trump running-mate JD Vance.

 

I’m not interested in “the rhetoric on both sides” today. Trump is the target. He’s survived two assassination attempts. He’s in danger and it’s probably too late to de-radicalize everyone who thinks the country will end if he wins. My latest for @cnn pic.twitter.com/4xD2NXGWT4

Democrats’ Rhetoric Inspired Another Attempt On President Trump’s Life

September 16, 2024

Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt in as many months.

Thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement — but make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.

Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts:

• Kamala Harris — repeatedly: "Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
• Kamala Harris: "It's on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses."
• Kamala Harris: "Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!"
• Joe Biden: "It's time to put Trump in a bullseye."
• Joe Biden: "I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Trump is a threat to this nation."
• Joe Biden: "There is one existential threat: it's Donald Trump."
• Joe Biden: "Trump is a genuine threat to this nation ... He's literally a threat to everything America stands for."
• Joe Biden: "Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country."
• Joe Biden: "Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic ... and that is a threat to this country."
• Tim Walz: "Are [Republicans] a threat to democracy? Yes. ... Are they going to put peoples' lives in danger? Yes."
• Gwen Walz: "Buh-bye, Donald Trump."
• Rep. Nancy Pelosi: "[Trump] is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen."
• Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "MAGA in general — they are threats to us domestically."
• Rep. Dan Goldman: "He is destructive to our democracy and ...  he has to be eliminated."
• Disgraced Harris staffer TJ Ducklo: "Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy."
• Top Harris surrogate Liz Cheney: "Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis."
• Rep. Steve Cohen: "Trump is an enemy of the United States."
• Rep. Maxine Waters: "Are [Trump supporters] preparing a civil war against us?"
• Rep. Maxine Waters: "I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere."
• Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Trump is an "existential threat to our democracy."
• Rep. Adam Schiff: Trump is the "gravest threat to our democracy."
• Rep. Gregory Meeks: "Trump cannot be president again. He's an existential threat to democracy."
• Rep. Dan Goldman: "Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy."
• Rep. Jake Auchincloss: "What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to Democracy."
• Rep. Abigail Spanberger: "Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real."
• Rep. Annie Kuster: "Trump and his extreme right-wing followers pose an existential threat to our democracy."
• Rep. Becca Balint: "We cannot underestimate the threat [Trump] poses to American democracy."
• Rep. Jason Crow: "Trump is an extreme danger to our democracy."
• Rep. Raul Grijalva: "Trump is an existential threat to American democracy."
• Sen. Michael Bennet: Trump is "a threat to our democracy."
• Rep. Stacey Plaskett: Trump "needs to be shot."
• Rep. Steven Horsford: "Trump Republicans are a dangerous threat to our state."
• Rep. Gabe Vasquez: "Remove the national threat from office."
• Rep. Mike Levin: "Donald Trump is a threat to our nation, our freedom, and our democracy."
• Rep. Eric Sorensen: "He is the greatest threat to law and order we have in our country."
• Rep. Greg Landsman: "The threat is not over."
• Rep. Pat Ryan: "Trump is an existential threat to American democracy."
• Rick Wilson, The Lincoln Project: "They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump."
• Former Harris-Biden staffer Kate Bedingfield: Democrats should "turn their fire on Donald Trump."

That doesn't even include the dangerous rhetoric against President Trump spewed by deranged Democrats during the 2016 and 2020 elections, the impeachment hoaxes, and the Summer of Love.
