How did Routh know where to go to set up his sniper hide and that Trump was going to be on the golf course? Was he a member of Trump's club? It appears that someone inside the club may have been collaborating with him.

If the president of all people can't be safe we civilians can't be safe😮

[clarencesettle]

He was not part of a government plan, that’s why he was not terminated.

[youknowit]

Do you know how close you would have to be to see a barrel sticking through a fence in the woods? And then to say he shot 4 times when the president wasn’t even at that hole yet.

[neilmckechnie]

Hundreds of yards ahead is way too close. Trump is like John Wick.

[lindah]

Trump better stay inside. I think he’s pretty vulnerable.

[blyxx]

Possessing a weapon of mass destruction. Why is he not in prison?

[louniece]

I can't stand Trump, but this is beyond scary!😢 Thank G-d a witness saw, and this time, the SS listened and took action!

[ElizabethWarrenYeahYeah]

Again?
Trump must be doing something right for people to want rid of him

[anthonyvono]

I'm just glad that kamala's relieved that Trump is alright. Yeah. Okay.

[heytam]

If he doesn’t talk then something is really off. This guy has done many interviews, he loves talking, loves having pic taken.
Wonder who his handler is?

[reefratsclark]

The guys been over fighting for Ukraine
Crazy dude

[Laakona]

Kind of a fuzzy picture, but because of the length of the barrel, the rifle appears to be a 7.62x54R Dragunov Russian sniper rifle. Clearer pix needed.

[shifyist]

not an ak47, holy fuck how is it that the media ALLWAYS fucks up what they call a gun?

[brucepieroni]

The Secret Service agent that spotted the assassin must not have read the memo!

[edwardkamenar]

It's not the second, it's the SIXTH!!!!

[DJBIGCG]

The democrats are hell bent on getting rid of Trump. I am still going to vote for Trump in 2024 👍🏿

[sherri]
