A few days ago, a man named Ryan Routh attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. President Trump escaped harm, a mere two months after Thomas Crooks attempted to murder him during a campaign rally.
Mr. Routh was spotted by Secret Service agents as he was taking aim at President Trump as he was golfing. After they opened fire on Routh, he fled and was captured alive shortly thereafter.
Unlike Thomas Crooks, who had very little online footprint to speak of, Mr. Routh had extensive social media history. Unsurprisingly, Big Tech swiftly went to work deleting his accounts, but not before they were fully archived.
His X and Facebook accounts reveal that Mr. Routh was a left-wing fanatic, who had labelled Donald Trump a danger to democracy, and who had made numerous political donations to the Democrats.
In addition, he showed a strong obsession with the Ukraine War, and claimed to have been involved in recruiting foreign volunteers for the Ukrainian International Legion. An article about the Legion on Semafor quotes Mr. Routh as saying that he had contacts within the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. He claimed to have been involved in a plan to smuggle Afghan soldiers into Ukraine to serve as volunteers. Moreover, Mr. Routh has been quoted about his work in Ukraine in the New York Times, as well as in an interview with Newsweek Magazine.
The Ukrainian International Legion has denied any involvement with Mr. Routh. However, Mr. Routh apparently posted an image of a document seemingly issued by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence to his Facebook account on May 4, 2024, which appeared to suggest that he had been approved for combat duty in the war.
Multiple sources have reported that President Trump’s golf outing that day was unscheduled, and not listed on any public itinerary. This raises the rather obvious question of how Mr. Routh became aware of this outing without insider assistance. The sheriff of Martin County himself suggested during a press conference that there may a greater conspiracy at play.
I find it noteworthy that this assassination attempt came shortly after President Trump’s debate with Kamala Harris, during which he stated that he wished to bring the Russo-Ukrainian War to an end.
It is my opinion that this assassination plot may have the involvement of both domestic federal actors within the United States, as well as the Ukrainian government.
The hasty and sloppy nature of this plot, and Rouths’ handlers failure to scrub his online presence and international ties beforehand, suggests this plot was conceived on very short notice. It seems the deep state and their international globalist allies are getting desperate to stop Trump.
Trump and his protective detail must take extreme precautions, since this is unlikely to be the last attempt that the regime makes on his life.
