Man Accused Of Assassination Attempt On Donald Trump Once Wrote A Book Urging Iran To Kill Ex-President – Report
September 16, 2024
NEWS

In the aftermath of the reported assassination attempt on United States’ Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, a man who once wrote a book urging Iran to kill the former president has been identified as the perpetrator of the act.

Ryan Routh portrayed himself online as a man who built housing for homeless people in Hawaii.

He also tried to recruit fighters for Ukraine to defend itself against Russia, and described his support and then disdain for Donald Trump — even urging Iran to kill the former president.

“You are free to assassinate Trump,” Routh wrote of Iran in an apparently self-published book in 2023, “Ukraine’s Unwinnable War,” which described the former president as a “fool” and “buffoon” for both the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots and the “tremendous blunder” of leaving the Iran nuclear deal.

Routh also wrote that he once voted for Trump, apportioning a part of the blame to himself.

In a tweet in June 2020, after the police killing of George Floyd, Routh said then-President Trump could win reelection by issuing an executive order to prosecute police misconduct. However, in recent years, his posts appear to have soured on Trump, and he expressed support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the current Democratic presidential nominee.

“DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” he wrote on X in April in support of Biden.

Following the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in July, a post on Routh’s account urged Biden and Harris to visit those wounded in the shooting and attend the funeral of the firefighter who was killed.

“Trump will never do anything for them,” Routh wrote. “Show the world what compassion and humanity is all about.”

He described Trump as a “child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless.”

Routh, 58, who was arrested Sunday was accused of stalking the GOP presidential nominee as he golfed in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a AK-47-style rifle in what has now been found as an assassination attempt thwarted by the Secret Service.

Through his voluminous online footprint, public records, news interviews and videos, a picture emerged of Routh as a man with a criminal past, plenty of outrage and shifting politics.

His over 500 posts on X showed his views ranging from the left to the right, including support for politicians such as Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard and Nicki Haley, as well as Trump.

Voter records show he registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina in 2012, most recently voting in person during the state’s Democratic primary in March.

Further revelations show that Routh also made 19 small donations totaling $140 since 2019 to ActBlue, a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates, according to federal campaign finance records.

The attack has been condemned by Joe Biden, Harris Kamala among many other persons. This development has added to the already existing tension towards the US Presidential election.

I know you don't believe in God, but what you are seeing is the power of God. The only praying American president in decades will not fall under the sword of the wicked, especially when so many are praying for him. Trump won in 2020 but was stolen, this time it won't be stolen. Kamala Harris is polling at around 34% and Democrats know it. Let's just wait and see the states that will allow the 20 million fresh illegals brought in within 3 years to vote. Why is the FBI covering up the information from the first assasin?

They are pained God saved his life. If he had died, they would have said he provoked people. This is just to save face and console themselves. These evil people have no souls let alone conscience, they just want him dead. You can see how many people endorsed him after the first assassination attempt, these were people in the enemy's camp that told the power-that-be that "yes he deserves to die, but if he survives, we are endorsing him" because they know that when you shoot at the king, you must not miss. They vall wanted to see if he could be killed first. These are the ones that still have something to lose and quickly backed out. Those who have nothing to lose are going full speed ahead and not done with attempts on his life because that's the only way for them to survive.

Why do people find it hard to believe that failed assassination attempts are more likely true than a setup?

Trump Wins 2024 Election


A.F. Branco Cartoon – Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. Now it’s time to clean up the mess and get started putting the country back on track after 4 years of one disaster after another.

THREE-PEAT: PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP WINS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN HISTORIC VICTORY!
By Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit – Nov 6, 2024

President Trump became the second US president in history to win the White House in two non-consecutive terms!
The last president to win in non-consecutive terms was Grover Cleveland.

Nothing could stop President Donald Trump – 91 junk indictments, two assassination attempts, Democrat lawfare, being shot in the face!
Trump won Pennsylvania at 1:30 AM for 19 electoral votes to put him at 267

With Alaska coming in that is 3 points to put him at 270 electoral votes and the victory!

Trump is still leading in every battleground state – Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada have not been called yet! (Read More…)
