Secret Motive Uncovered in Shocking Attempt to Assassinate Donald Trump on Golf Course
Ever wonder what goes wrong when a golf game turns into a courtroom drama? Ryan Routh’s audacious attempt to take down Donald Trump on a sunny West Palm Beach golf course last year has officially been labeled criminally insane by a Florida jury—and now the guy’s staring down life behind bars. I mean, weeks spent scheming, a rifle aimed through bushes, but then the kicker: during his own defense, he swears he never pulled the trigger. Talk about a plot twist worthy of Hollywood! And just when you think it couldn’t get any more surreal, post-verdict, he tries to self-harm in the courthouse while his daughter’s pleading for sanity. The layers here? Deep. The drama? Off the charts. Curious how all this unfolded?
Ryan Routh has been found guilty of trying to assassinate Donald Trump on his West Palm Beach golf course last year.
The man now faces life imprisonment as the jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, found him guilty on all charges after two hours of deliberation.
He was charged by the government with five criminal counts including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
Routh had pleaded not guilty to the chargers and chose to defend himself in court.
Prosecutors said he spent weeks plotting to kill Trump before aiming a rifle through shrubbery while the then candidate played golf on 15 September 2024.
During his closing argument, Routh said he didn’t intend to kill anyone. “It’s hard for me to believe that a crime occurred if the trigger was never pulled,” he said.
Shortly after he was found guilty, the 59-year-old tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen as officers quickly swarmed and dragged him out of the courthouse.
His daughter, Sara Routh, screamed: “Dad, I love you, don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody.”
