The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida, previously wrote a letter stating “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” according to a filing by federal prosecutors.

I don't care if you despise Donald Trump. This is not the way we defeat our political foes in this country. Networks like CNN have been calling not just Trump but every GOP candidate "Hitler" for a very long time. That has to end. No one is "Hitler", not Harris, not Trump, not Biden, not Hillary. Regardless of how this election turns out we as a country have to stop using such extreme terminology to describe our political foes.
Wouldn’t it just be attempted murder?
This is so wrong for CNN and YouTube to put this out to the world!
Well this once again, debunks the lies from the Trump campaign claiming it is Democratic rhetoric that is the reason.
Yeah yeah yeah sure this is so staged. Somebody said oh we better come up with a a letter gotta make the store look good…
Not falling for the trump charade.
Where’s our true crime community calling out the bs here .
Bro thinks he’s Gol D Roger 😭
I CALL BS
Leave it to CNN to share Specifically what was said in the letter including the money to encourage a copy cat attack.
I cant believe they would show a bounty for a person. Thats is insane
Pre-writing about a failed assassination attempt??
I call BS!
Ah. I got it new. Much like the previous attemter, Routh is also another Republican that became angry because of what trump actually is.
I'm honestly beginning to think he's paying these nut jobs to miss to gain voters and support because he's failing.
Praying for all candidates. Political violence has no place in American elections.
Another Ted kasinski
Koo koo and paranoid.
Attention seeking.
Rants in his version of a manifesto
What else did the letter say??
And why did they release it at all??
None of this makes sense
Oh but the Manifesto of the trans Nashville schoolshooter wasn’t ok to release
omg wow ! he is even calling out for some one else to get trump and put a bounty on it even of $150,000 omg this is extremly bad for this guy trying to hire people to kill trump right out in the open , and just think iran probably has another bounty on him to and that one is probably in the million dollar area crazy day's guy's
Something’s not right.
If the DOJ had not released the letter you would scream conspiracy but since they did release it you scream malicious intent instead, so which one is it? You can't have your cake and eat it too.
If so many people want him dead, if CNN team has perhaps half of them giddy about getting to present coverage of the SUCCESSFUL Assassination of Trump, we must keep him alive. (First female president winning will be a joke if it is by default… who would run in place of Trump? Someone who will say Kamala is a very good opponent.
NO WAY THIS IS THE WORK OF THE CIA UNLESS THE CIA WANTS THESE PEOPLE TO FAIL. THEY TOOK OUT JFK W/ SURGICAL PRECISION COVERTLY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. '
IF KAMALA HAD THESE 3 ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE THE MEDIA WOULD TALK ABOUT THE WANNABE ASSASSINS AND HOW THEY ARE MAGA EXTREMISTS… KAMALA WOULD CEASE DOING ALL RALLIES, GO DEEP INTO HIDING… LIVE AT A FBI SAFE HOUSE WITH COPS PATROLLING THE TOWN… SECRET SERVICE PATROLLING THE STREET. SWAT SNIPERS ON STANDBY. AND HOT RUGGED PRIVATE PROTECTION MEN (AMERICANS WHO HAVE SHOT PALESTINIANS IN UNDERGROUND WARFARE… AKA BLACKWATER FUNDED BY BLACKROCK) WHO ARE LITERAL BEASTS, HAVE PUT BOTH THUMBS AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE INTO A MAN'S EYE SOCKETS, BIT A MAN'S DICK OFF IN FOREIGN PRISON, TRIPLE DIGIT KILL COUNTS… ARMED WITH GUNS SHE DOES NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE… ACTUAL COMBAT ASSAULT AND BATTLE RIFLES… HONEY BADGERS SHOOTING 300 BLK OUT, SHORT BARRELED 308 RIFLES WITH A REFLEX SIGHT AND 20 ROUND MAG…. EVERYONE HAVING A MARK 43 OR USP FOR A SIDEARM. GAS MASKS AND LEVEL 5 PLATES.
YA KNOW JUGGERNAUTS FROM COD? YEAH, BUNCH OF THOSE. And hot black guys to hold her and read her Marx and the Communist Manifesto.
Let God have mercy on those who have been anti-trump since 2016
Disgusting 🤢
Why do they keep calling Trump THE president? Referring to him as President Trump is one thing, but he’s not the acting president. I feel the title of THE president should be reserved for acting president. Call him “the previous president” or something like that.
Remember when his son said that he hated Trump like any reasonable person would? Pepperidge Farms remembers, PDF. They flock to the Democrat Party. #pdfslovedemocrats
where was this nut case getting his funds to do all this?
Joe Biden is the President. Goofy Trump is merely Mr. Trump or ex-President Trump! Why do people keep making this stupid mistake?
So we've gone from failed character assassination attempts to all in?
A pre-written letter of future failure.
Seems legit!
Son of would be assassin arrested over CHILD PORN, and he was connected with a pile of s*it from the intelligence agencies, a individual asset for the FBI/CIA, he was a clown with clown values!!! Killing and Porn, yeah, it sums up our criminal organized agencies!!!
$150,000 is just an average hit, not suitable for a Tier1 target!
Democrats are violent these days.
SATAN (ALSO KNOWN AS LUCIFER OR THE DEVIL) IS EXPOSED!!!!! Hell was created for Satan and his fallen Angels(Matthew 25:41 AND 2Peter 2:4).Satan and his fallen Angels fought God’s angels to overthrow God but were defeated and were thus thrown out of heaven to the earth(Isaiah14:12-14 AND Revelation 12:7-10).Satan and his fallen Angels will be thrown into hell to be tormented 24/7 for ever and ever(Revelation 20:10 AND Jude 1:7).Satan and his fallen Angels want you to join them suffer in hell even though you were not part of the coup makers(Revelations 20:10-15).Satan, and for that matter his fallen Angels stand condemned by God and hence do not have any chance of repentance(John 16:11).Fortunately, you and I have up to minutes before our death to repent just like the criminal on the right side of Jesus Christ on the cross (Luke 23:39-43) WHY NOT REPENT NOW AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS? Since you don’t know how and when you will die, my brother or sister, THE TIME TO REPENT IS NOW AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST!!!
CNN is disgusting. They know exactly what they’re doing allowing this information out. Why haven’t they gone over school shooter’s manifestos???
Donald Trump should stop grabbing those “Most Wanted” contracts in COD Warzone if he is running for president.
Obama threw out Biden. Obama is heading the Kamala campaign . Obama is running the country not senile Biden. But…Trump is power hungry. Trump will never give up control of the POTUS.
Ryan routh sounds a awful lot like cnn and nbc anchors the more they show what he was saying on internet and to people around him.
Maybe stop abusing US Military Directed Energy Weapons to torture people into false flagging Trump…
Why is this guy even dropped the idea the suspect is not getting any extra help to assassinate former President Trump.
Ira’s is after Trump , two assassination attempts in less than 60 days , so this guys want us to believe is just coincidence?? And he was an FBI agent??
Money has to be distributed by some sort of account. Maybe they should traxe the money and find out who's funding him
Why are thet downplaying it like he didn't do anything? This is absurd!
Sure released that letter really quickly.
Trump’s assassination was staged . Say whatever you want this story doesn’t make sense . 💯
So he was gone flee to Mexico. He was definitely a flight risk.
They are only charging for possession of a firearm??? Are you kidding? Who the heck leads the FEDS? The incompetence just continues to be exposed.
So why is this even a question of keeping him in jail 🤔 😐 😕 😂😂😂
This entire thing wreaks of a Trump, "very large brain" set-up. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did Trump set this up himself? Why would he leave a note to the world, how did he have time to write this note when he was running away?
HOW, was Routh in possession of these guns illegaly? Have not heard?
sounds like Biden is considering a pardon for this assassin next week –as he should not be unfairly prosecuted—-if he were in New York it would be okay to lock him up or fine him 500million for overvaluing his 12 hour assassination vigil at Mar A Lago.
But being as he was in Florida –a Republican stronghold and was in fact just testing Latitia James view that Mar a Lago was indeed only worth 14 million he should be released and allowed to sue Trump for sexual assault/defamation etc
What a Fn morrrron..If KH wins the world will be even less protected! What he cant see its in complete disarray and chaos under tbis we@k admin??? Some people need to wake tf up already IF possible.
And the carelessness of the Fb eye, wow!! But no shocker after Butler. PRICELESS
