In a shocking display of what happens when leftist extremists go too far, Ryan Wesley Routh, a 58-year-old Democrat donor, was arrested for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office has released body-cam footage from the incident, and it’s as tense as a blockbuster film—minus the predictable happy ending, since thankfully, Trump walked away unharmed.
The footage involves deputies commanding Routh to step back with his hands on his head, a sensible precaution considering he’s a convicted felon with a penchant for firearms, as evidenced by his possession of a gun with an obstructed serial number. It’s a safe bet that his idea of fun doesn’t involve law-abiding behavior. Routh complied with law enforcement, allowing deputies the easy job of taking him into custody right after he decided to play a very dangerous game targeting a former president.

This incident marks the second assassination attempt against Trump in just two months. If there’s one thing this should tell everyone, it’s that the hatred from the left knows no bounds. Just imagine being so consumed with rage and disappointment that you would take aim at a golfer, of all things. Routh wasn’t hiding in a dark alley; he thought he could actually take a swing at Trump while he was out on the golf course. How’s that for a “sporting” affair?
Routh’s backstory could be seen as that of a disgruntled citizen turned radical, expressing his disillusionment through the most extreme method possible. He previously called Trump an “idiot” and a “buffoon,” and even turned to social media to howl about how bad a choice he felt he had made by supporting the former president back in 2016. Since when do self-described “loving fathers” go from being disappointed supporters to plotting murder? This paints quite a picture of leftist morals—the kind that’s not just taking a detour, but speeding down the highway in the wrong direction.
While Routh claims to support Ukraine and had grandiose plans for recruitment in 2022, it turns out he’s not only delusional but lacks an understanding of basic laws regarding firearm possession. His impressive resume includes a few past arrests and troubles with tax payments, all while he publicly laments Trump’s policies. It seems fitting; his life reads like a chapter out of a leftist political thriller gone wrong. Now, Trump continues to march forward with his campaign, citing Routh’s attack—and the incendiary rhetoric from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—has only added fuel to the fire of a heated presidential race.
As the dust settles on this eyebrow-raising assassination attempt, it’s clear that the stakes have never been higher. Trump, still standing strong, commended the Secret Service for their quick action during the incident. While the left continues to hurl insults and fabrications at him, this situation serves as a reminder of the dangers facing those who dare to challenge the radical agenda of the left. It’s a wonder that Routh saw fit to engage in such kooky behavior rather than admitting he was wrong about supporting a leader like Trump, who, despite all odds, still persists in championing America.
