TRUMP TARGETED AGAIN: 2nd Assassination attempt thwarted in Florida

A gunman was captured Sunday after apparently trying to shoot former President Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida.

Trump is OK, and no injuries were reported by authorities after Secret Service agents fired at the gunman they spotted in the bushes.

The Associated Press identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, citing three law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

So, it wasn't the police, FBI, or Secret Service that took the picture of the guy, car, or license plate? Why then is he praising them for a great job? Shouldn't the private citizen be getting the praise?

[that]

Respect to the quick thinking citizen!

[mattverville]

Good thing theres citizens here to bail out the secret service constantly.

[terrymoore]

I'm about sick of them having to thank people for doing their job, and making a big deal every time. That's what they get paid to do.

[donaldfair]

So in other words the Secret Service let another one slip through their hands . He got off that property before a local PD did their job again . Way to go Secret Service !!!

[Indepthparanormal]

Evil has been normalized to such a degree it is frightening

[barbshoemakeremery]

The witness did all of their work for them.

[margaretanderson]

Two assignation attempts in less than two months. So I wonder, who’s orchestrating these attacks?

[traynham]

people should take note just how badly the establishment wants this man out of office by any means necessary

[mattsweeny]

What if the witness wasn't there??? Pathetic

[see-rious-ley]

President Trump should NOT be golfing outdoors or do anything outdoors until all is said and done BECAUSE he’s not getting a FULL protection from the Secret Service!

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[Runehorn]

So a regular person not employed in any of these services is the one that got the info? Our agencies are beyond pathetic.

[williamdavis]

Why did we hear more from outside sources than we did from the FBI and the news media? The FBI would not tell us the guys name. We found out his name from a private citizen.

[nancykargl]

Wow so happy the citizen thought quickly.

[leomarcons]

Thanks 🙏 for that witness. See something said something

[rikmid]

How did the guy know Trump was playing golf?

[ladamyre]

I guess we'll know when the FBI...
...finds the guy has committed sooey-side while in custody...
...while the cameras were coincidentally out-of-service...
...and then cremates his body later.

[billgates-xrhs]

What’s trump need a full body armor suit this government can’t protect a candy store ridiculous second time no one ever gets fired just resign whith their pension hope trump drains the swamp if he gets back in

[michaelblack]

I wonder how long before the suspect is un-alived by himself in police custody.

[johnjriggsarchery]

As if any of these creeps are trying to stop them.
