Trump Assassination Attempts

They spied on him, accused him of being a Russian spy, impeached him twice, worked with Democrat operatives to change the law and allow a decades old sexual assault claim to move forward, tried to bankrupt his company, indicted him five times, tried to remove him from the ballot, and have now tried to kill him twice.

Trump Issues Defiant Response to Second Assassination Attempt: 'I Will NEVER Surrender'
Former President Donald Trump has released an official statement following the second failed attempt to assassinate him, declaring his love for his supporters and reassuring them he will “never surrender.”

Secret Service agents thwarted the assassination attempt against the 45th president on Sunday after shots were fired at his Trump International Golf Course near West Palm Beach, Florida.

The former president was playing golf when an armed suspect was spotted approaching his position.

The shooter opened fire first.

The Secret Service returned fire.

The same day, Trump released an official statement on the shooting.

“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” Trump wrote.

“Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!

“I will always love you for supporting me.”

The suspect shooter, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was apprehended after fleeing the scene, local ABC affiliate WPLG reported.

Local authorities pulled the suspect over after receiving witness descriptions.

“There was a lone driver in the vehicle. That driver is now in custody,” Snyder said.

The would-be assassin appeared to have exploited a vulnerable part of the property’s perimeter to gain access.

Wesley Routh ran out of the bushes before escaping in a black vehicle.

He was later arrested in Martin County.

Trump later took to social media, thanking those concerned and law enforcement, adding, “It was certainly an interesting day!”

“I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes — It was certainly an interesting day!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE,” Trump continued.

“THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” Trump concluded in his post.

As The Daily Fetched reported, Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt while delivering his remarks during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Last month, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) accused the FBI and Secret Service of “slow walking” the investigation, saying, “We’re not getting squat from my standpoint from the Secret Service or FBI.”

The FBI’s decision to cremate would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ body before an autopsy could be carried out was described as”jaw-dropping” by many critics.

Phone data indicated suspect had been by golf course for hours before rifle was spotted
Marlene Lenthang

A criminal complaint against Routh reveals more details about yesterday's apparent assassination attempt.

In addition to a witness account, Routh was confirmed to be the suspect using phone records that located him in “the vicinity of the area along the tree line” of the Trump International Golf Club from 1:59 a.m. until 1:31 p.m. on Sunday, the complaint said.

At 1:31 p.m., a Secret Service agent assigned to Trump’s security detail was walking the perimeter of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach when the agent saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of a tree line.

The agent fired their service weapon in the direction of the rifle and a witness saw a man, later identified as Routh, fleeing the area of the tree line, entering a Nissan sport utility vehicle and leaving at a high rate of speed.

In the area of the tree line where Routh fled, agents found a digital camera, two bags, a loaded SKS-style 7.62x39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food. The serial number on the rifle “was obliterated and unreadable to the naked eye,” the complaint said.

The agent who wrote the complaint said that such rifles are not manufactured in Florida, and it’s likely the rifle had “traveled in interstate or foreign commerce.”

At 2:14 p.m. the Martin County Sheriff’s Office initiated a motor vehicle stop and Routh was detained. Officers said the license plate of the Nissan he was in was registered to a 2012 white Ford truck that has been reported stolen.

The witness who reported seeing Routh fleeing the area of Trump International was taken to the scene and identified Routh as the man seen earlier.

A review of law enforcement records found that on Dec. 20, 2002, Routh was convicted in Greensboro, North Carolina, of possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction, a class F felony. Records also showed that on March 3, 2010, Routh was convicted of multiple counts of possession of stolen goods.

This is troubling.  Has anything like this ever happened to a presidential candidate?

I don't recall two assassination attempts on a presidential candidate.  Then again, no candidate has been vilified by a political party and its mainstream media arm like Trump.

Trump doesn't play by the establishment's rules, so the establishment propagated TDS.

Who are the 'they' who have attempted to assassinate him twice? What if anything is the connection between Ryan Wesley Routh and Thomas Matthew Crook?

Now how did I know you would avoid talking about the multiple attempts to murder Trump and focus on something else?  Missing the forest for the trees again.

Thomas Matthew Crook was registered as a Republican and once voted Republican. Ryan Routh made a social media post backing Trump's reelection in 2020. Recently his posts have expressed support for Biden and Harris. He registered 'unaffiliated' in 2012. Seems like Routh is confused.

Cook donated to Democrats.  Routh donated to Democrats.  They both tried to murder Trump, a Republican.  Their alliances are pretty clear.  And they were motivated by the left's hateful rhetoric.

Dershowitz to Newsmax: Hitler-Trump Comparisons Encourage Violence
By Solange Reyner    |   Monday, 16 September 2024

Comments made by Rachel Vindman downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Sunday are disturbing, but "the more dangerous thing is when you get disturbed people who think they'll be honored and appreciated if they kill Trump," Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax.

Vindman, the wife of Democrat congressional candidate Yevgeny "Eugene" Vindman, on Sunday posted on her X account: "No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon," referencing the assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024, where a bullet grazed his ear during a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

She has since removed the tweet.

Dershowitz said people like the alleged gunman caught Sunday in Florida think that "there would be some who would honor them.

"Maybe not publicly, but among their friends and otherwise why would this potential assassin have brought a video camera," Dershowitz said on "Newsline"

"He thought he'd be a hero if he were able to successfully prevent Trump from becoming president. And so, you know, I think this attempt to make comparisons between horrible people of the past, like Hitler and Donald Trump, really encourage this kind of violence.

"Jokes are one thing. They just show terrible bad taste. But when you use violent rhetoric, it can really encourage people to engage in violent actions."

You are correct. Cook donated $15 to a left-leaning campaign group in early 2021. Routh also donated to Ukraine, supported Tulsi Gabbard, and since 2019 he donated $140 to a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates. Like I said he is all over the place politically.

Oh no, I have donated monthly to Act Blue for many years. Also, the organization whose board I chair contributes tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic and Republican Oregon legislators and legislative candidates during election cycles.

On the other hand, I pride myself on being non-violent and don't own any type of gun and never have. No worries about me attempting to assassinate anyone.

Your attempt to deflect attention away from two Democrat donors who tried to murder President Trump as a result of the left's violent rhetoric is a massive fail.

I actually looked this up, because they are really trying to kill President Trump.  Who knows if they will be successful.  What a dark moment in American history.

What happens if a presidential candidate cannot take office due to death or incapacitation before January 2025?
