Suspect Arrested in Trump Assassination Attempt

Ryan Wesley Routh, a 58-year-old man with a history of donating to Democratic candidates, was arrested for allegedly attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh reportedly pointed an AK-47 at Trump while he was golfing, leading to a confrontation with Secret Service agents. He has previously donated over $140 to various Democratic candidates, including Andrew Yang and Elizabeth Warren, and expressed strong anti-Trump sentiments on social media. Routh has a criminal record, including past incidents involving firearms and barricading himself in a business. Additionally, he has been active in supporting volunteer fighters for Ukraine and was involved in recruiting efforts against Russian forces. His arrest follows heightened security measures for Trump after a previous assassination attempt earlier this year.
