According to reports, Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to shoot Donald Trump while he was playing a round of golf. Some of his social media posts have been reposted by others. His profile - if it hasn't been doctored - shows him to be a Democrat, anti-MAGA, and LGBT+ member. Common enough, but obviously against Trump. He went to Ukraine in 2022 and sought to recruit foreign fighters and increase funding. A ten-minute interview was also posted which shows him in Ukraine. He doesn't seem particularly sharp. How did this guy know when and where to try a shot at Trump? He was arrested shortly after the incident and is in custody. Is he another lone wolf like Thomas Matthew Crooks? Of course, we don't know really if Crooks was a lone gunman, but that is the working assumption. Will Jack Ruby show up and shoot Routh before he can be interrogated?
The left has so villainized Trump that it appears to be entirely reasonable to assassinated him before he can reclaim power. This again demonstrates that there is too much riding on elections today. This should be choosing someone who carries out the laws that Congress has passed. Those laws should be relatively benign compared to what the states themselves pass. No, thanks to a century of consolidating power in Washington DC, national elections become more heated each year. The heat has risen to assassination attempts. Either we devolve power away from Washington or the boiler will explode into open conflict.
