And just like that, this is a non-story. This is why you wait until you get the facts from someone other a campaign that isn't known for being all that factual.


Just WHAT did the campaign put out that wasn't factual?

Go ahead


It suggests that the shots had something to do with Trump. Even this thread took the bait. "Shots fired AT Trump". Don jr with his "Again folks" message. The campaign had no idea this has anything to do with Trump but knew they could get political traction (which this thread proves they were right) so they spread the word and hoped the base would run with it. It did.


So the shots had nothing to do with Trump?


From what they are saying, all shots were fired by Secret Service. The guy is only charged with a gun crime and seemingly never fired it.
It makes one appear foolish, and is a denial of reality, to minimize the serious threat and intent to assassinate by this person.
It's Randolph Duke. He is fully delusional.

Wait, hold up, this dude is actually Randy? Cause that would make his level of dumbassery even more epic.

It is absurd to imagine that anyone is financing the two kooks. Why would they hire what are probably the most incompetent people to accomplish their supposed plans?
Just remember, these are the same folks that also handpicked Biden and Kamala.
So, yes, it doesn't surprise me that they ended up with the most incompetent people.
Maybe it's a Democrat thing.

Selecting them to do anything would be beyond crazy. Would you hire them to design a skyscraper? Or to be the head chef at a Michellen three star restaurant? Or to coach the Aggie football or baseball teams?

I can't think of anything I would hire them to do. Not even digging a ditch or mowing the grass.

In that Wahlberg movie Shooter, wasn't the lie that the cop used for reason for contact was that he saw the barrel of the gun sticking out?

Dude wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate Trump. He definitely is as nutty as he looks.

"In his book, listed on Amazon and viewed by the AP, Routh noted: "I get so tired of people asking me if I am a Democrat or Republican as I refuse to be put in a category." The world would be better it were run by women, he wrote in the book that has links to his website and X account, because "it seems that the totality of the world's problems revolve around men with massive insecurity and childlike intelligence and behavior."

Completely CRAZY.

Saw an article on Yahoo this morning...

Some small excerpts, "The apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his South Florida golf course on Sunday ignited longstanding concerns among security experts that Trump's regular golf habit might make him vulnerable to assailants.

Nearly every president in recent history has played golf, but the frequency and predictability of Trump's outings have raised worries for years."

"And though golf is practically a mainstay of the modern American presidency, Trump's particular fondness for the sport makes his appearance on the links more predictable, and thus riskier."

The media doing it's best to place blame on Trump for this, yet again

since there are no photos from inside the course on google maps, here is a 3D rendering of the course. You can navigate to a virtual flythrough of the 6th hole

Very. And to the tinfoil hat folks, that's all they need as "proof" that Biden or Zelensky, or maybe even Jose Andres, tried killing Trump.

I mean, there's a picture after all.

Okay so this guy Routh flew to Ukraine in 2022 spent a couple months there trying to get involved in the war and was too much of a nutbag for the Ukrainians, so they sent him packing.

Chelsea Walsh, a nurse who had several encounters with Routh in Kyiv in 2022, said his threats of violence worried her so much that once she landed at Dulles she reported him to OHS and gave an hour and fifteen minute interview expressing her concerns in June 2022, and it basically did nothing. Now the OHS has a huge division of nothing but profilers whose sole purpose is to build portfolios and profiles on people just like this who are flagged as potentially problematic. Profilers have virtually unlimited access to data on anyone and can throw together a portfolio on someone in 24 hours. And as prolific as this guys was, he should have been a flashing light.


So he flies from Hawaii to Florida, and in a few days acquired an SKS ammo a GoPro and ceramic ballistic tiles? That's top shelf acquisition skills. Just so many unanswered and unexplainable questions

Big question - was he on any watch list, FBI, USSS, etc?

U.S. Authorities Were Warned About Suspected Trump Gunman

The gunman suspected of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump acted so erratically during his years as a pro-Ukraine activist that other Americans who encountered him flagged his behavior to U.S. authorities.
Ryan Wesley Routh was taken into custody in Florida on Sunday after Secret Service personnel spotted and opened fire at a man pointing a rifle through the fence at a West Palm Beach club where Trump was golfing. The man fled in a black Nissan and was quickly apprehended.
But it was Routh's time in Ukraine, where he traveled shortly after the Russian invasion in 2022 hoping to join the fight, where his tumultuous life full of failures and brushes with the law seemed to spiral further downwardand to alarm those who came in contact with him.

No Trump was on the fifth green when the shots were fired and his perch was approximately 325 yards from Trump. He was laying waiting for him to get to the sixth green which was mere feet. The forward USSS discovered him when he was searching the hole ahead of Trump in advance.


With a scoped SKS 300 yards isn't that difficult 7.62x39 is pretty potent at that distance if he were to have chosen to take that shot. Line of sight might have been an issue

I believe he would've let him get as close as possible before he started shooting. Then he could shoot at him as he fled, if the first shots missed. Or, if the ss jumped on Trump the shooter could just pump rounds into the pike.

Have they said what was in the backpack? Is like to know how many extra loaded mags he had. He had ceramic body armor (even though he wasn't wearing it) so he was ready for a fire fight.

Apparently coocoo for cocoa puffs in Ukraine doesn't equate for scrutiny once you get back to the states. I mean come on, it's not like he had some massive digital footprint or anything obvious like that.

Or design and roll out the Obamacare web site. Estimated at more than $500 million from a quick glance at news articles this morning.

Having that agency in charge of anything to do with this investigation, much less V L tree specifically, is a gross conflict of interest. The Republicans on capital hill should be railing against this right now, but all I hear coming from them are... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... crickets.

My plea to Governor DeSantis.

1) Don't let any evidence out of your custody where it can be "disappeared."

2) Don't let the accused out of your custody either, don't allow him to be interviewed or questioned without your state investigators/officers present, and most importantly, keep him alive.

Apparently, some random bystander snapped a photo of the perp's truck and license plates and gave them to local LEO - who easily went and apprehended him.
