Another Assassination Attempt on Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another assassination attempt on Former President Trump.
This time it involved a sniper hiding in the bushes with a scope-cited rifle, attempting a 500 yard shot. Trump was doing some shooting himself on the golf course in south Florida at the time.
Ryan Routh, the alleged shooter, was seen aiming the rifle from the shrubs and fired upon by the Secret Service. Routh somehow managed to slip away (!) and made a getaway but not before some bystander happily saw him and took a photo of his vehicle and license plate (how fortuitous!). Police caught the would-be assassin without incident.
According to news reports, the shooter had an AK-47 with a scope, a mounted camera, and some ceramic tiles in a bag.
I'm no gun guy but isn't an AK-47 a poor long-range sniper weapon? Any gun people care to weigh in?
At any rate it disappointed Trump as he was even in his golf game and looking to finish the course strong, according to Fox News pundit Sean Hannity, to whom Trump sent a message.
Trump was said to be in good spirits after this second attempt to kill him:
Apparently the shooter was a rabid Ukrainian supporter. Al Jazeera dishes:
What I found quite interesting was an FBI Agent interviewed on Scripps News last night. The Agent sung the praises of the Secret Service (and the House Republicans doing oversight have announced that blockbusters were going to come out about the Secret Service soon and so they need to varnish their image now) then went on to call on Trump to curtail his public appearances. He said that the lives of the Secret Service agents and the FBI were at risk because Trump keeps going out in public!
I guess he doesn't understand it's their jobs to keep Trump safe, like it or not. What this guy was calling for was for Trump to campaign less in the final days, basically, and setting it up so they can say "we told him he needed less exposure" when a bullet finally does reach Mr. Trump in a more serious spot than the ear.
Call me paranoid but I don't trust anything about this story. It's exactly what they would do if they needed something to raise their image. Find some dead-head, arrest him in a dramatic way and then bask in the glory. I'm going to be very interested in hearing what this guy has to say, assuming he doesn't hang himself in his jail cell, or get struck by a bolt of lightning, or whatnot.
I've warned for four years Trump would be assassinated if he looked to retake the White House and I see no reason to revise my opinion.
Remember, there were calls to deny Mr. Trump ANY Secret Service protection at all by Democrats.
And they admitted Trump wasn't given the full resources needed to keep him safe. For example, they denied his request for more security at events. Now there have been two attempts on his life.
The best you can say is that the media and Democrats have painted Donald Trump as the son of Satan and so why is anyone surprised at attempts to kill him? You would kill Hitler if you could, wouldn't you?
That is assuming it's not the three letter agencies behind it, something they do overseas all the time. We know the CIA and FBI tried to run a "color revolution" on Trump; with that failing assassination is the next logical step.
Of course they cannot be seen as being directly involved; the logical way to do it would be to clear a path for an amateur to act as fall guy.
This thing stinks and it's going to get a lot smellier if and when we learn more.
My prediction is we'll hear little about this and even less about the would-be assassin. He'll disappear and no journalist will try to interview him. Or he'll suffer an untimely end in prison, like Jeffrey Epstein.
BTW There was no mention of this story all evening on the local and national channels; one had to go to a cable news channel, especially Fox (which I don't get) to hear of this outside of the regular evening news. Now why do you suppose that is?

Trump was said to be in good spirits after this second attempt to kill him:
"FEAR NOT! I am safe and well, and no one was hurt. Thank God!” Mr. Trump stated on his website.
"But, there are people in this world who will do whatever it takes to stop us. I will not stop fighting for you. I will Never Surrender.”
"I will always love you for supporting me,” the statement added. "Through our UNITY we will Make America Great Again.”

Apparently the shooter was a rabid Ukrainian supporter. Al Jazeera dishes:
US media named the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, quoting law enforcement officials.
According to CNN and CBS, Routh was a self-employed affordable housing builder in Hawaii who regularly posted on politics and current events, including sometimes criticising Trump.
Public access to the suspect’s Facebook and X profiles was removed hours after the shooting, but he was reportedly active in calling for support for Ukraine in its efforts to defend against Russia’s invasion.
This year, the suspect had tagged US President Joe Biden on X, according to the Reuters news agency.
"@POTUS Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA … make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” he posted.
Routh is reported to have travelled to Ukraine in 2022 to volunteer to fight. However, he was rejected due to his age and having no military experience.

OK, listen up, folks: the (entrenched) government doesn't like Trump, they've made that clear a number of ways ever since he ran for president in 2016 (remember?). When the entrenched government doesn't like somebody badly enough, they will do their best to off that person. I hate to say it that way but that's the way it is.
So: Two tries now. They won't stop. The entrenched government at this time is hand-and-hand with Satan.
We all need to pray greatly for Trump!

Amen Dana!
They gave him two warnings now to back off or die. The logical next step is to use a professional to take him out. I don't think Trump can survive this, frankly.
Yes, we need prayer for Mr. Trump. And he needs a lot of private security.

You're right that an AK-47, or any of its derivatives, is not exactly a sniper rifle, but this puke wasn't at any great distance either. I found it interesting that he had a scope on the rifle.
Remember that Lee Harvey Oswald, the supposed shooter of JFK, used a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to shoot the president at, well, I don't remember the distance, and a Mannlicher was not a very accurate rifle either. However, did Oswald actually do the shooting? (And did Epstein actually kill himself?)

Good points all Dana!
From what I've read this guy was about five hundred yards from Trump. A decent sniper would make the shot easily enough.
Yeah; it is interesting he had a scope on it, no question.
One must ask where he got his weapon from and how he managed to get where he was (since Trump's golf outing was not advertised.) It's as if he had outside logistical support.
Trump needs to create his own security, sort of like The Pinkertons in the old days. Since our government refuses to adequately protect him he's going to have to protect himself. Of course the media will call private security "Brownshirts" or "Gestapo" but they'll find a way to work that in regardless of what Trump does so he may as well be abused for doing something positive.
