Michigan Man’s Chilling Threats Against Trump and Biden Surface in Shocking New Case
When you think about a golf course, you probably picture peaceful afternoons and leisurely swings—not a scene straight out of a thriller where someone’s lurking in the bushes, rifle in hand, waiting for a presidential candidate. But that’s exactly what went down near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach back in September 2024. Ryan Wesley Routh, a man who made headlines for all the wrong reasons, tried to pull off what can only be described as a high-stakes ambush targeting Donald Trump. It’s chilling, it’s bizarre, and it makes you wonder—how does someone decide to camp out like a sniper on a golf course? And what intense dive into paranoia or hatred drives a person to such lengths? From a Secret Service agent’s eagle-eyed patrol to a courtroom that handed down a life sentence plus, this case paints a vivid, nerve-wracking portrait of violence just beneath the calm greens. If you’ve ever wondered about the thin line between fanaticism and lunacy, this story crashes right through it. LEARN MORE

Two months later, Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly tried to assassinate Trump on September 15, 2024, after lying in wait near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He camped out under foliage near the sixth hole fence, waiting for the Republican presidential candidate to arrive, but a Secret Service Special Agent patrolling the course ahead of Trump spotted the would-be sniper and his rifle.
Routh fled the scene but was apprehended later that day.
He was found guilty by a Fort Pierce, Florida, jury in September 2025 of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assault of a federal law enforcement officer, and multiple firearms offenses. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 84 months.
The most recent attempt on Trump’s life was in April, when gunman Cole Thomas Allen rushed past a security checkpoint during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton.
He was later charged with attempting to assassinate the president and three other gun-related counts.
