Trump Assas*n: What We Know

Ryan Wesley Routh is in custody after allegedly pointing an AK-47 at the president while he was playing at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach on Sunday.

Here is what we know about this individual thus far…

Democrat Donor

According to filings from the Federal Election Commission, Routh is a registered Democrat who donated 19 times to ActBlue, a Democratic political political action committee.

The donations were more than $140.00 and were made between September 2019 and March 2020.

Previous Conviction

At the age of 36, Routh was arrested after fleeing a traffic stop whilst in possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

Routh was later convicted.

Commercial Appearance

Routh was in a commercial for the Azov Battalion, a radical volunteer battalion in Ukraine originally formed in 2014 to combat Russian-backed separatists in the Donbas region.

What’s disturbing is how Ryan Routh and Trump’s second wannabe assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, have both appeared in commercials, one for Azov and one for BlackRock.

Recruiter for Ukraine?

In 2023, Ryan Routh conducted an interview with Semafor discussing his efforts to recruit Afghan fighters to deploy to Ukraine.

A large portion of his efforts for Ukraine included running a war recruitment drive for the International Legion, Ukraine’s military unit for foreign fighters.

Before Routh’s Facebook was taken down, it was filled with calls to action for veterans and those willing to fight in the war in Ukraine. The calls to action were written in both English and Arabic.

Politically Driven Individual

Routh called Trump a “retarded child” and even called on Iran to assasinate him.

“I must take part of the blame for the retarded child we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize,” Routh said in a book he published on Amazon.

The e-book is for sale on Amazon for $2.99 as reported by the Daily Mail.

Additional Info

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced “the State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club.”

“The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee.”

Meanwhile, just a couple of hours before Trump was nearly assassinated, Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett stated: “Right now I feel like MAGA in general, they are threats to us domestically.”

According to a source who spoke with CNN, the round of golf Trump played wasn’t planned which adds an additional layer of concern to the sequence of events.

The incident comes as Trump’s security detail has increased over the last two months after another failed assassination attempt on Trump occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

Conclusion

Regardless of political affiliation or what one might think about president Trump, as followers of Christ, we are called to pray for our political leaders and that is exactly what we will continue to do whether they are on the left or right of the political divide.

Pray for our leader’s safety, for wisdom, for the right people to be put into their paths, for Godly council, for strength and boldness and courage.

Let us never cease seek God on this matter.
