How Trump 'gunman' was spotted as he 'lurked in bushes with rifle at golf club'

THE suspect behind Donald Trump's second assassination attempt has been unmasked as a pro-Ukraine activist.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested by cops in Florida after Secret Service agents saw a rifle poking out of bushes at Trump's West Palm Beach golf club.

It comes almost exactly two months after Trump was shot in the ear by a gunman in Pennsylvania on July 13.

On Sunday, the ex-US president, 78, was rushed to safety as Secret Service agents opened fire on a gunman brandishing an AK-47 in nearby bushes.

Trump was playing a round of golf when the agents spotted someone they suspected of aiming the weapon from nearby bushes.

The would-be assassin - who managed to get within 400-500 yards of Trump - attempted to flee the scene in an SUV but was caught by officials and taken into custody.

Why are you saying “alleged”
He had a loaded gun and was hiding in the bushes
That’s not alleged that’s fact

[Robert-xyxi]

Sun deliberately overlooking the fact the assassin had visited Kiev and had donated to the Democrats.

[GoonyMclinux]

Hes not a "gunman" hes an assassin.

[scottwithe]

All those guns you all own, and not one of you could hit a cows arse with a banjo

[peacemyheart]

I guess Trump's life is a trophy for instant infamy by all these crazies.

the guy dyed half his hair blue... enough said

[dr.burtgummerfan]

"Trump survives second assassination attempt, Democrats outraged, film at eleven..."

[josephcalvo]

Trump will have to stop playing golf at this stage as his chances of attempts on his life grow exponentially...

[Rajalord]

Secret service did there job thankfully

[lorddaem]

Did anyone else think it was Farage speaking at first? 😂

[_AdventureClub_]

Are we not in the UK!?
Tell us about our failures

[maximisatwat]

And the Secret Service only noticed because a golfer pointed him out. They weren't "on it". again. But nearly erased the evidence unnecessarily with 4 or 5 X's

[anonnemo]

Two questions spring immediately to mind. How did the would be assassin know that his target would be on the golf course at that time and do the secret service know nothing of thermal imaging drones capable of detecting people hiding in bushes?

[henrymcvey]

Man says to another man” stand here and hold my rifle “please.

[DjWellDressedMan]

This has now become a GAME for the Trump Trophy.
Only in America, thankfully.

[melgrant]

Wonder if the two attempts are connected.

[leftylou]

With a couple more curls in his hair the Assassin would look like Harpo Marx!

[HPeter]

1:10 all mainstream media talking points

[gandhi]

Congressional investigation of the J13 assassination attempt has so far been appallingly unprofessional with key witnesses, including the 3 counter snipers who abandoned their posts in Building 3 as Trump took the podium, CEO of AGR who switched off all cctv cameras outside and inside the AGR complex, and who was heard on police radio conducting operations, the parents of Crooks who reported him to the police that same afternoon, Pakistani guy Marchant, who was arrested on J12 suspected of planning an assasination, Beaver and Butler County police heads, who were responsible for the AGR building security, and who made a white van with Arizona plates, suspected of having explosives, somehow disappear, just for starters!

[darrenhopkins]

This guy knew when and where Trump was going to be.
Hes definitely not assassin from the other side.
